REPAIRING A FLAT TIRE (for
models with emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit)
WARNING
.After using Emergency Tire Sealant
to repair a minor tire puncture, do not
drive the vehicle at speeds faster
than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
.Immediately after using the Emer-
gency Tire Sealant to repair a minortire puncture, take your vehicle to
inspect, and repair or replace the tire.
It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. The
Emergency Tire Sealant cannot per-
manently seal a punctured tire. Con-
tinuing operation of the vehicle
without a permanent tire repair can
lead to a crash.
.INFINITI recommends using only
Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
as soon as possible after using tire
repair sealant.
This vehicle does not have a spare tire. The
emergency tire puncture repair kit (Emer-
gency Tire Sealant) is supplied with the
vehicle instead of a spare tire. It can be used
to temporarily repair minor tire punctures.
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below.
CAUTION
.To avoid the emergency tire puncture
repair kit being damaged during sto-
rage or use:
— Only use the emergency tire
puncture repair kit on your vehi-
cle. Do not use it on other vehicles.
— Only use the kit to inflate the
tires of your vehicle and to check
the vehicle’s tire pressure.
— Only plug the compressor into a
12V DC car power point.
— Keep the kit free of water and
dirt.
— Do not disassemble or modify the
kit.
— Do not drop the kit or allow hard
impacts to the kit.
.Do not use the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit under the following
conditions. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer or profes-
sional road assistance.
— when the sealant has passed its
expiration date (shown on the
label attached to the bottle)

2. Take the hoseand the power plugout of the air compressor. Remove the
cap of the bottle holder from the air
compressor.
SCE0869
3. Remove the cap from the tire sealant
bottle, and screw the bottle clockwise
onto the bottle holder. (Leave the bottle
seal intact. Screwing the bottle onto the
bottle holder will pierce the seal of the
bottle.)
4. Remove the cap from the tire valve on
the flat tire.
SCE0870
5. Remove the protective capof the hose
and screw the hose securely onto the tire
valve. Make sure that the pressure
release valve
is securely tightened.
Make sure that the air compressor
switch is in the OFF (*) position, and
then insert its power plug into the power
outlet in the vehicle.

SCE0871
6. Push the ignition switch to the “ACC”
position. Then turn the compressor
switch to the ON (−) position and inflate
the tire up to the pressure that is
specified on the tire and loading infor-
mation label affixed to the driver’s side
pillar if possible, or to the minimum of 26
psi (180 kPa). Turn the air compressor
off briefly in order to check the tire
pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the
specified pressure, lower the tire pres-
sure by releasing air with the pressure
release valve.NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge may
show a pressure reading of 87 psi (600
kPa) for about 30 seconds while inflat-
ing the tire. The pressure gauge is
indicating the pressure inside the sea-
lant can. When the sealant has been
injected into the tire the pressure gauge
will drop and indicate actual tire pres-
sure.
WARNING
.To avoid serious personal injury while
using the emergency tire puncture
repair kit:
— Securely tighten the compressor
hose to the tire valve. Failure to
do so can cause the sealant to
spray into the air and get into
your eyes or on the skin.
.Do not stand directly beside the
damaged tire while it is being inflated
because of the risk of the rupture. If
there are any cracks or bumps, turn
the compressor off immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase to
26 psi (180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the
tire may be seriously damaged andthe
tire cannot be repaired with this tirepuncture repair kit.It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for servi-
cing.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified
amount, turn the air compressor off. If
the pressure cannot be inflated to the
specified amount, the air compressor can
be turned off at the minimum of 26 psi
(180 kPa). Remove the power plug from
the power outlet and quickly remove the
hose from the tire valve. Attach the
protective cap and valve cap. Properly
stow the emergency tire puncture repair
kit in the trunk.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury when
stowing the emergency tire puncture
repair kit:
.Keep the sealant bottle screwed into
the compressor. Failure to do so can
cause the sealant to spray into the air
and get into your eyes or on the skin.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10
minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed of
50 MPH (80 km/h) or less.
9. After driving, make sure that the air
compressor switch is in the OFF (*)

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-yourself8-25
WHEELS AND TIRES

8-26Do-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.

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 hasbeen 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 failurecausing 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”

TIRE LABELING
Federal law requires tire manufac-
turers to place standardized informa-
tion on the sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of
the tire and also provides the tire
identification number (TIN) for safety
standard certification. The TIN can be
used to identify the tire in case of a
recall.
SDI1606
Example
Tire size (example: P215/60R16
94H)
1. P: The “P” indicates the tire is
designed for passenger vehicles.
(Not all tires have this informa-
tion.)
2. Three-digit number (215): This
number gives the width in milli-
meters of the tire from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge.
3. Two-digit number (60): This num-
ber, known as the aspect ratio,
gives the tire’s ratio of height towidth.
4. R: The “R” stands for radial.
F: The “F” after “R” indicates Self-
Supporting type run-flat tire.
5. Two-digit number (16): This num-
ber is the wheel or rim diameter in
inches.
6. Two- or three-digit number (94):
This number is the tire’s load index.
It is a measurement of how much
weight each tire can support. You
may not find this information on all
tires because it is not required by
law.
7. H: Tire speed rating. You should
not drive the vehicle faster than
the tire speed rating.
