brake rotor INFINITI G35 2003 Owners Manual

Installing the spare tire 1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface
between the wheel and hub.
2. Carefully put the wheel on and tighten the
wheel nuts finger tight.
(Coupe models)
When replacing a front tire, make sure the
hole in the spare tire wheel is aligned with
the pin on the brake rotor.
3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel
nuts alternately and evenly until they are
tight. 4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire
touches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securely
in the sequence as illustrated.
WARNING O Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.
O Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the
nuts to become loose.
As soon as possible tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque
wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
80 ft-lb (108 N z m)
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure:
After vehicle has been parked for three
hours or more or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km). COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire
placard affixed to the inside of the rear left
door opening (Sedan), the driver side cen-
ter pillar (Coupe).
WARNING Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-
hicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).SCE0039

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire rotation (Sedan) INFINITI recommends that tires be rotated
every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
Wheel nut tightening torque:
80 ft-lb (108 N z m)
See ªFlat tireº in the ª6. In case of emergencyº
section for tire replacing procedures.
Tire rotation (Coupe) Tires cannot be rotated in this vehicle, as front
tires are different size from rear tires and the
direction of wheel rotation is fixed in each tire. A pin is on the front brake rotor to prevent the
rear wheels from being installed in place of the
front wheels. The spare tire can be installed in
place of the front and rear wheels. When
installing the spare tire in the front wheel, the
hole in the spare tire wheel must be aligned
with the pin on the brake rotor.
WARNING O After rotating the tires, adjust the tire
pressure.
O Retighten the wheel nuts when the
vehicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
O Do not include the T-type spare tire or
any other small size spare tire in the
tire rotation.
O For additional information regarding
tires, refer to ªImportant Tire Safety-
Informationº (US) or ªTire Safety In-
formationº (Canada) in the INFINITI
Warranty Information Booklet. Tire wear and damage
WARNING O Tires should be periodically in-
spected for wear, cracking, bulging,
or objects caught in the tread. If ex-
cessive wear, cracks, bulging, or
deep cuts are found, the tire should
be replaced.
O The original tires have a built-in tread
wear indicator. When the wear indica-DI0048-C MDI0004

EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE
ITEMS Additional information on the following
items with ª*º is found in the ª8. Do-it-
yourselfº section.
Emission control system
maintenance Drive belts*: Check drive belts for wear, fray-
ing or cracking and also for proper tension.
Replace the drive belts if found damaged.
Air cleaner filter: Under normal driving con-
ditions, the air cleaner filter should be replaced
in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
However, driving the vehicle in dusty areas
may cause more rapid clogging of the element.
Consequently, the element may have to be
replaced more frequently.
EVAP vapor lines: Check vapor lines and
connections for failure or looseness. If leaks
are found, replace them.
Fuel lines: Check the fuel hoses, piping and
connections for leaks, looseness or deteriora-
tion. Replace any parts if they are damaged.
Engine coolant*: Drain and flush the cooling
system.
Engine oil & oil filter*: Under normal driving conditions, the engine oil and oil filter should
be replaced in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule. However, under severe driv-
ing conditions, they may have to be replaced
more frequently.
Spark plugs*: Replace with new plugs having
the correct heat range.
Chassis and body maintenance Brake lines & cables: Check the brake lines
and hoses (including brake booster vacuum
hoses, connections & check valve) and park-
ing brake cables for proper attachment, leaks,
cracks, chafing, abrasion, deterioration, etc.
Brake pads & rotors: Check these and the
other neighboring brake components for wear,
deterioration and leaks. Under severe driving
conditions, they may have to be inspected
more frequently.
Automatic transmission fluid*: Using auto-
matic transmission fluid other than Genuine
Nissan ATF Matic Fluid J will cause deteriora-
tion in driveability and automatic transmission
durability, and may damage the automatic
transmission, which is not covered by the
INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty. If
checking or replacement is required, we rec-
ommend your INFINITI retailer for servicing.
Under severe driving conditions, the fluid should be replaced at the specified interval.
Manual transmission oil & differential gear
oil*: Check the oil level and visually inspect for
signs of leakage.
Under severe driving conditions, the oil should
be replaced at the specified interval.
Steering gear & linkage, axle & suspension
parts: Check for damage, looseness and leak-
age of oil or grease. Under severe driving
conditions, more frequent inspection should be
performed.
Exhaust system: Visually check the exhaust
pipes, muffler, and hangers for proper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, chafing, abrasion, dete-
rioration, etc. Under severe driving conditions,
inspection should be performed more fre-
quently.
In-cabin microfilter: Under normal condi-
tions, this microfilter should be replaced in
accordance with the maintenance schedule.
However, in some situations, the microfilter
may clog more rapidly (depending on the air
conditioner's working environment). If this hap-
pens, the air flow may decrease, or the win-
dows may fog up easily when the air condi-
tioner is in use, the microfilter should be
replaced immediately at your INFINITI retailer.
