wheel is changed or the underside of the
vehicle is washed.
O Do not use abrasive cleaners when wash-
ing the wheels.
O Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
O INFINITI recommends that the road wheels
be waxed to protect against road salt in
areas where it is used during winter.
Spare tire (T-type spare tire) Observe the following precautions if the T-type
spare tire must be used, otherwise your ve-
hicle could be damaged or involved in an
accident.
CAUTIONO The T-type spare tire should be used
only for emergency. It should be re-
placed by the standard tire at the first
opportunity.
O Drive carefully while the T-type spare
tire is installed. Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking
while driving.
O Periodically check the T-type spare
tire inflation pressure, and always
keep it at 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar).
O 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 placard.
For tire placard location, see ªTire
placardº in the ª10. Technical and
consumer informationº.
O Do not drive your vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
O Do not use tire chains on a T-type
spare tire. Tire chains will not fit prop-
erly on the T-type spare tire and may
cause damage to the vehicle.
O When driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, the T-type spare tire
should be used on the front wheel
and the original tire used on the rear
wheels (drive wheels). Use tire chains only on the rear two original tires.
(Sedan)
O Tire tread of the T-type spare tire will
wear at a faster rate than the original
tire. Replace the T-type spare tire as
soon as the tread wear indicators
appear.
O Because the T-type spare tire is
smaller than the original tire, ground
clearance is reduced. To avoid dam-
age to the vehicle do not drive over
obstacles. Also do not drive the ve-
hicle through an automatic car wash
since it may get caught.
O Do not use the T-type spare tire on
other vehicles.
O Do not use more than one T-type
spare tire at the same time.
O Do not tow a trailer while the T-type
spare tire is installed.
