Infiniti QX: Starting the engine
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
or N (Neutral) position. (P is recommended.).
The starter is designed not to operate
unless the selector lever is in either of
the above positions.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON
position. Depress the brake pedal and
push the ignition switch to start the
engine.
To start the engine immediately, push
and release the ignition switch while
depressing the brake pedal with the
ignition switch in any position.
► If the engine is very hard to start in
extremely cold weather or when
restarting, depress the accelerator
pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to
the floor) and while holding, crank
the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
► If the engine is very hard to start
because it is flooded, depress the
accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it. Push the ignition
switch to the ON position to start
cranking the engine. After 5 or 6

cranking the engine, release the
accelerator pedal. Crank the engine

pedal by depressing the brake pedal
and pushing the push-button ignition
switch to start the engine. If the
engine starts, but fails to run, repeat
the above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 15

wait 10 seconds before cranking again,
otherwise the starter could be damaged.

In cold weather, keep the engine running for a minimum of 2 - 3 minutes before shutting it off. Starting and stopping the engine over a short period of time may make the vehicle more difficult to start. When racing the engine up to 4,000 rpm or more under the no load condition, the engine will enter the fuel cut mode. 5. To stop the engine, shift the selector lever to the P (Park) position and push the ignition switch to the OFF position.
