Getting emergency tire puncture
repair kit
Take out the emergency tire puncture repair kit
located under the cargo room or in the trunk.
The repair kit consists of the following items:
1Tire sealant bottle
2Air compressor
3Speed restriction sticker
NOTE:
For models with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit, a spare tire, jack and rod are not
equipped as standard. These parts are dealer
options. Contact an INFINITI retailer about ob-
taining these parts. See “CHANGING FLAT TIRE
(for models with spare tire)” earlier in this sec-
tion for usage of jacking tools and tire replace-
ment.
Before using emergency tire puncture
repair kit
●If any foreign object (for example, a screw or
nail) is embedded in the tire, do not remove
it.
● Check the expiration date of the sealant
(shown on the label attached to the bottle).
Never use a sealant whose expiration date
has passed.
Repairing tire
WARNING
Observe the following precautions when using
the tire repair compound.
● Swallowing the compound is dangerous. Im-
mediately drink as much water as possible
and seek prompt medical assistance.
● Rinse well with lots of water if the compound
comes into contact with skin or eyes. If irri-
tation persists, seek prompt medical
attention.
● Keep the repair compound out of the reach of
children.
● The emergency repair compound may cause
a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors
and cause the low tire pressure warning light
to illuminate. Have the tire pressure sensor
replaced as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Do not remove any nails or screws that have
penetrated the tire when performing repairs.

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.
After repairing tire
See an INFINITI retailer for tire
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.
CHANGING FLAT TIRE (for models with
spare tire)
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below.
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and
away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
6-8In case of emergency

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.
CLEANING INTERIOR
7-4Appearance and care

Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling
and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can
get out of balance. Therefore, they should be
balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be performed with
the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the
wheels on the vehicle could lead to mechanical
damage.
For additional information regarding tires, refer
to “Important Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the
INFINITI Warranty Information Booklet.
Care of wheels
●Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle
to maintain their appearance.
● Clean the inner side of the wheels when the
wheel is changed or the underside of the
vehicle is washed.
● Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing
the wheels.
● Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
● INFINITI recommends that the road wheels
be waxed to protect against road salt in
areas where it is used during winter.
Emergency tire puncture repair kit (if
so equipped)
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 possible, have the vehicle towed to a facility
that can repair or replace the flat tire. Using the
emergency tire puncture repair kit may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensor and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate.
See “FLAT TIRE” in the “6. In case of emer-
gency” section for more details.
Spare tire (TEMPORARY USE ONLY
(T-type) spare tire) (if so equipped)
Observe the following precautions if the T-type
spare tire must be used, otherwise your vehicle
could be damaged or involved in an accident.
WARNING
● The T-type spare tire should be used for
emergency use. It should be replaced with
the standard tire at the first opportunity to
avoid possible tire or differential damage.
● Drive carefully while the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire is installed. Avoid sharp
turns and abrupt braking while driving.
● Periodically check spare tire inflation pres-
sure. Always keep the pressure of the TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY spare tire at 60 psi (420
kPa, 4.2 bar). Always keep the pressure of
the full size spare tire (if so equipped) at the
recommended pressure for standard tires,
as indicated on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label. For Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label location, see “Tire and Loading
Information label” in the index of this
manual.
● With the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire
installed do not drive your vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
