2007 Infiniti FX

Interior

The five-passenger interior of the FX blends the comfort and amenities of a luxury car with an array of high tech driver and passenger features. Leather-appointed seating surfaces with driver seat memory and power lumbar, heated front seats and power tilt/telescope steering wheel are standard. In front are driver-dedicated automatic air conditioning, 7-inch information display color monitor and a three-spoke, leather-wrapped steering wheel with illuminated integrated cruise control and standard steering wheel-mounted audio system controls.

Available rear seat passenger features include personal reading lamps, center armrest with tray and storage, dual seatback pockets for storing DVDs and magazines, reclining seats and rear B-pillar mounted air conditioning vents for enhanced cooling performance.

Standard features on FX also include a new-for-2007 iPod accessory, which can be tied into the standard 300-watt, 11-speaker Bose audio sound system with 6-disc CD autochanger, two subwoofers, mp3-CD playback and steering wheel audio controls. Other features include electroluminescent gauges, heated leather seating surfaces, power lumbar support and power tilt/telescopic steering wheel. Also standard is RearView Monitor, which, when reverse gear is selected, projects a view of what’s behind the FX onto the display monitor using a small camera mounted near the rear license plate.

The 2007 FX45 adds standard sunroof, HomeLink® Universal Garage Door Opener (UGDO), auto on/off headlamps, Intelligent Key, Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System, wood and aluminum trim, aluminum roof rails and cargo net and cover.

Every FX model also offers exceptional utility, including a large cargo area with easy cargo accessibility, flip-down rear seats with quick-release levers conveniently located in the cargo area, three under-floor storage compartments and a lightweight, steel-reinforced composite rear cargo door with electromagnetic opener switch.

A number of special high tech features are also available, including an advanced DVD-based Infiniti Navigation System and Intelligent Key with keyless entry and push button start (standard on FX45).

Also available is Infiniti’s Intelligent Cruise Control, which uses the brakes, throttle and laser sensors to maintain a set distance between the FX and a vehicle in front of it.

The available Infiniti Mobile Entertainment System features a DVD player with a 7.0-inch roof-mounted flip-down rear LCD screen. Other interior amenities include an Infiniti signature analog clock, driver and passenger one-touch up/down front power windows and power door locks.

Advanced Safety Features Including LDW

Available on the FX and M Sedan, the Lane Departure Warning system recognizes lane markings through the use of a small camera mounted behind the rearview mirror. The camera’s signal and the vehicle’s speed are sent to the system’s advanced microprocessing unit, which combines the information to calculate both the distance between the vehicle and the lane marking and the lateral velocity to the lane marking at speeds above 45 mph. A judgment is then made as to whether the vehicle is moving out of the lane (depending on the distance and lateral velocity to the lane).

The Infiniti LDW system is temporarily disabled by driver activation of the vehicle’s turn signals, which informs the system’s control unit of intended lane changes. The system also features a manual cancel switch, which allows the driver to turn the system off when desired. The system automatically resets when the vehicle is restarted.

Other safety features found on every 2007 include a new seat belt reminder system, standard Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) with passenger seat occupant sensor and dual-stage front supplemental air bags with seat belt sensors, front-seat side-impact supplemental air bags and front and rear curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover protection for front and rear outboard seat occupants.

Also standard are 3-point ALR/ELR seat belts (driver’s side ELR only) and front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters and adjustable upper anchors. It is also equipped with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system.

The FX’s SUV-enhanced FM platform Zone Body construction is designed to help protect occupants in a collision by helping to absorb crash energy through use of front and rear crushable zones. In a high-speed frontal collision, for example, the crushable zone crumples while the engine is designed to move under the occupant compartment.

This has the effect of expanding the crushable zone, thereby helping to reduce deceleration g-force and simultaneously helping minimize cabin deformation, especially in the lower leg area. In offset impacts, the body construction helps decrease the amount of cabin deformation.

Other FX features that contribute to improved occupant safety include the breakaway brake pedal and the double-wall construction of the bulkhead to help reduce lower leg injuries and a breakaway construction of the propeller shaft (connected with the engine-drop function).

Models and Packages

The fully equipped FX is offered in three engine/drive configurations: the V8-powered AWD FX45, the V6-powered AWD FX35 and the V6-powered rear-wheel drive FX35.

In addition to the long list of equipment on the FX35, the FX45 includes additional standard equipment, including sport suspension tuning, 20-inch tires and unique aluminum-alloy wheels, aluminum roof rails, auto on/off headlights, Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System, sunroof, Intelligent Key, wood and aluminum interior trim, aluminum pedals (accelerator, brake and footrest) and a unique V8 engine cover.

The V6 Sport Package (available only on FX35) includes special 20-inch wheels and tires, sport-tuned suspension, aluminum pedals and aluminum roof rails, etched aluminum interior trim, tinted exterior lamp lenses and dark chrome exterior accents. The Technology Package (available on all models) adds the Infiniti Navigation System, Intelligent Cruise Control, satellite radio with choice of XM® or Sirius™ providers and the Lane Departure Warning system. Also available on all models is the Infiniti DVD Mobile Entertainment System.

Available on FX35 (standard on FX45) is the Hands-Free Package, which includes Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System and Intelligent Key. FX35 also offers a Touring Package with sunroof, Universal Garage Door Opener (UGDO), auto on/off headlamps and cargo net.

A Run Flat Tire Package is also available, which replaces the standard tires with run-flat models, deletes the spare tire for more under cargo area storage, and adds special sport suspension tuning to compensate for the different ride characteristics of run-flat tires.
