JUMP STARTING

If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump
starting” (P.6-10). If the engine does not
start by jump starting, the battery may have
to be replaced. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.

CAUTION

.

Do not ground accessories directly to
the battery terminal. Doing so will
bypass the variable voltage control
system and the vehicle battery may
not charge completely.

.

Use electrical accessories with the
engine running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.

The variable voltage control system mea-
sures the amount of electrical discharge
from the battery and controls voltage gen-
erated by the generator.

schedule shown in the “9. Maintenance and
schedules” section, but do not reuse them by
cleaning or regapping.

Always replace spark plugs with recom-
mended or equivalent ones.

SPARK PLUGS

WARNING

.

Operating the engine with the air
cleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops flame
if the engine backfires. If it is not
there, and the engine backfires, you
could be burned. Do not drive with
the air cleaner removed, and be care-
ful when working on the engine with
the air cleaner removed.

.

Never pour fuel into the throttle body
or attempt to start the engine with
the air cleaner removed. Doing so
could result in serious injury.

The filter element should not be cleaned and
reused. Replace it according to the main-
tenance schedule shown in the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section. When
replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the
air cleaner housing and the cover with a
damp cloth.
When maintenance is required, it is recom-
mended you contact an INFINITI retailer for
servicing.

CLEANING

If your windshield is not clear after using the
windshield washer or if a wiper blade
chatters when running, wax or other materi-
al may be on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Your
windshield is clean if beads do not form
when rinsing with clear water.
Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer solution or a mild
detergent. Then rinse the blade with clear
water. If your windshield is still not clear
after cleaning the blades and using the
wiper, replace the blades.
Worn windshield wiper blades can damage
the windshield and impair driver vision.

When a washer nozzle is clogged

If a washer nozzle is clogged or any
malfunction occurs, have it checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer

the glass; otherwise the arm may be
damaged from wind pressure.

If the brakes do not operate properly, have
the brakes checked. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES

Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every time
the brake pedal is applied.

WARNING

Have your brake system checked if the
brake pedal height does not return to
normal. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.

BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING

The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires repla-
cement, it will make a high pitched scraping
sound when the vehicle is in motion. This
scraping sound will first occur only when the
brake pedal is depressed. After more wear of
the brake pad, the sound will always be
heard even if the brake pedal is not
depressed. Have the brakes checked as soon
as possible if the wear warning sound is
heard.

BRAKES

Under some driving or climate conditions,
occasional brake squeak, squeal or other
noise may be heard. Occasional brake noise
during light to moderate stops is normal and
does not affect the function or performance
of the brake system.

Proper brake inspection intervals should be
followed.

For additional information, see the

maintenance schedule shown in the “9.
Maintenance and schedules” section.

TIRE PRESSURE

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)

WARNING

Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It
monitors tire pressure of all tires except the
spare. When the low tire pressure warning
light is lit and the “Tire Pressure Low - Add
Air” warning appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display, one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect
a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a
flat tire while driving).
For more details, see “Low tire pressure
warning light” (P.2-15),“Tire Pressure Mon-
itoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5) and “Tire

Do-it-yourself

8-25

WHEELS AND TIRES

8-26

Do-it-yourself

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-
3).

Tire inflation pressure

Check the pressure of the tires (in-
cluding the spare) often and always
prior to long distance trips. The
recommended tire pressure specifica-
tions are shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire
and Loading Information label is
affixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly because:

.

Most tires naturally lose air over

time.

.

Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a curb
while parking.

The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle
has been parked for 3 or more hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
provides visual and audible signals
outside the vehicle for inflating the
tires to the recommended COLD tire
pressure. (See “TPMS with Tire Infla-
tion Indicator” (P.5-8) about the
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator.)

Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

.

Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident.

.

The Gross Vehicle Weight rat-
ing (GVWR) is located on the F.
M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label. The
vehicle weight capacity is indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading
Information label. Do not load
your vehicle beyond this capa-
city. Overloading your vehicle
may result in reduced tire life,
unsafe operating conditions
due to premature tire failure,
or unfavorable handling char-

acteristics and could also lead
to a serious accident. Loading
beyond the specified capacity
may also result in failure of
other vehicle components.

.

Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use a tire pressure
gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.

.

For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.

SDI2567

Tire and Loading Information label

Seating capacity: The maximum
number of occupants that can be
seated in the vehicle.
Vehicle load limit: See “Vehicle
loading information” (P.10-16).

Original size: The size of the tires
originally installed on the vehicle
at the factory.
Cold tire pressure: Inflate the
tires to this pressure when the
tires are cold. Tires are consid-
ered COLD after the vehicle has

been parked for 3 or more hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
at moderate speeds. The recom-
mended cold tire inflation is set
by the manufacturer to provide
the best balance of tire wear,
vehicle handling, driveability, tire
noise, etc., up to the vehicle’s
GVWR.

Checking the tire pressure

1. Remove the valve stem cap from

the tire.

2. Press the pressure gauge squarely

onto the valve stem. Do not press
too hard or force the valve stem
sideways, or air will escape. If the
hissing sound of air escaping from
the tire is heard while checking the
pressure, reposition the gauge to
eliminate this leakage.

3. Remove the gauge.

4. Read the tire pressure on the

gauge stem and compare it to the
specification shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label.

5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too

much air is added, press the core of
the valve stem briefly with the tip
of the gauge stem to release
pressure. Recheck the pressure
and add or release air as needed.

6. Install the valve stem cap.
7. Check the pressure of all other

tires, including the spare.

8. Check the pressure when driving

the vehicle at speeds of 100 MPH
(160 km/h) or higher where it is
legal to do so.

WARNING

.

Driving at high speeds, 100
MPH (160 km/h) or higher
sustained where it is legal to
do so, can cause tires to have
excessive heat build up, which
may result in a tire failure

causing loss of control, crash,
injuries or even death. Some
high-speed rated tires require
inflation pressure adjustment
for high-speed operation.
When speed limits and road
conditions allow vehicle driving
at high speeds, make sure tires
are rated to support high speed
operation, tires are in optimal
conditions and pressure is ad-
justed to correct cold inflation
pressure for high speed opera-
tion.

.

Tires require adjustment to the
inflation pressure when driving
the vehicle at speeds of 100
MPH (160 km/h) or higher
where it is legal to do so. See
recommended tire inflation
chart for correct operating
pressure.

.

After vehicle high speed opera-
tion has ended, readjust the tire
pressure to the recommended
cold inflation pressure. (See
“Checking the tire pressure”
