General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or have their INFINITI dealers do them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.
Item
Reference page
Tires
Check the pressure with a gauge, including the spare, at least once a month
and always prior to a long distance trips. Adjust to the specified pressure if
necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
—
Wheel nuts
When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.
—
Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every
six months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.
—
Tire rotation
Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).
Wheel alignment and
balance
If the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or
if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds,
wheel balancing may be needed.

trunk lid and back hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubri-
cate if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from
opening when the primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check
lubrication frequently.

Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check

cient quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner.

Seats
Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every
position. Check that the head restrains move up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the
latches lock securely for folding-down rear seatbacks.
—
Seat belts
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.

Control”
Automatic transaxle
“Park” mechanism
Check that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly
and smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely

—
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
Item
Reference page
Windshield washer
fluid
Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant level
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Radiator and hoses
Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc.,
that may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks,
deformation, deterioration or loose connections.
—
Brake fluid level
Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on
the reservoir.
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions
require frequent checks of the battery fluid level.
—
Engine drive belts
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level
Check the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and
turning off the engine.
Power steering fluid
level and lines
Check the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for
improper attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.
Automatic transaxle
fluid level
Check the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the
engine idling.
Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately
locate the trouble and correct it.
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these
substances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and
around the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be
thoroughly flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where
mud and dirt can easily accumulate.
—
Fluid leaks
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the
vehicle has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner
after use is normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are
evident, check for the cause and correct it immediately.
