5. Remove the protective capAof the hose
and screw the hose securely onto the tire
valve. Make sure that the pressure re-
lease valve
Bis 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. 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 information label affixed
to the driver’s side center pillar if pos-
sible, 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 pressure
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 inflating the
tire. The pressure gauge is indicating the
pressure inside the sealant can. When the
sealant has been injected into the tire the
pressure gauge will drop and indicate ac-
tual tire pressure.
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 and the tire
cannot be repaired with this tire repair kit.
Contact an INFINITI retailer.

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 thecompressor. 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 min-
utes 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 posi-
tion, then screw the hose securely onto
the tire valve. Check the tire pressure
with the pressure gauge. The temporary
repair is completed if the tire pressure
does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the
pressure that is specified on the tire and
loading information label before driving.
10. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps from 5 to 9. If the pressure drops
again or under 19 psi (130 kPa), the tire
cannot be repaired with this tire repair
kit. Contact an INFINITI retailer.
The sealant bottle and hose can not be
reused to repair another punctured tire.
Contact an INFINITI retailer to purchase
replacements.

repair/replacement as soon as possible.
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 Emergency Tire
Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, take
your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer to inspect,
and repair or replace the tire. The Emergency
Tire Sealant cannot permanently seal a
punctured tire. Continuing operation of the
vehicle without a permanent tire repair can
lead to a crash.
● If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to repair
a minor tire puncture, your INFINITI retailer
will also need to replace the TPMS sensor in
addition to repairing or replacing the tire.
● INFINITI recommends using only INFINITI
Genuine 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.

In case of emergency6-19

Occasionally remove loose dust from the inte-
rior trim, plastic parts and seats using a vacuum
cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe the vinyl
and leather surfaces with a clean, soft cloth
dampened in mild soap solution, then wipe
clean with a dry soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order to
maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Some fabric
protectors contain chemicals that may stain or
bleach the seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to clean
the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam
cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat
or occupant classification sensor. This can also
affect the operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
●Never use benzine, thinner, or any similar
material. ●
Small dirt particles can be abrasive and damag-
ing to the leather surfaces and should be re-
moved promptly. Do not use saddle soap, car
waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents,
detergents or ammonia-based cleaners as they
may damage the leather’s natural finish.
● Only use fabric protectors approved by
INFINITI.
● Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter
or gauge lens covers. It may damage the lens
cover.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that could
affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air
freshener, take the following precautions:
● Hanging-type air fresheners can cause per-
manent discoloration when they contact ve-
hicle interior surfaces. Place the air fresh-
ener in a location that allows it to hang free
and not contact an interior surface.
● Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on
the vents. These products can cause imme-
diate damage and discoloration when
spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions before using air fresheners.
FLOOR MATS
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference that may
result in a collision or injury:
● NEVER place a floor mat on top of another
floor mat in the driver front position.
● Use only genuine NISSAN floor mats specifi-
cally designed for use in your vehicle model.
See your INFINITI retailer for more
information.
● Properly position the mats in the floorwell
using the floor mat positioning aid. See
“Floor mat positioning aid” later in this
section.
The use of NISSAN floor mats can extend the life
of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to
clean the interior. Mats should be maintained
with regular cleaning and replaced if they be-
come excessively worn.
