cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel-
spray and possibly a fire.
O Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can
result in a serious malfunction and pos-
sible injury. An incorrect cap could also
cause the
malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
O Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
Ð Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
Ð Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
O Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle. CAUTION O If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
O Tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop-
erly may cause the
malfunction in-
dicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate. If the
lamp illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
lamp should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
dealer.
O For additional information, see the ªMal-
function indicator lamp (MIL)º in the ª2.

The air conditioning system in your
INFINITI vehicle is charged with a refriger-
ant designed with the environment in
mind. This refrigerant will not harm the
earth's ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioning system. See ªCa-
pacities and recommended fuel/
lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical and con-
sumer informationº section for air condi-
tioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
An INFINITI dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioning system.
WARNINGThe air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
proper equipment. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the POWER or RADIO
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
key should be turned to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-
of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are de-
signed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general charac-
teristics of FM, AM and satellite radio sig-
nals that can affect radio reception
quality in a moving vehicle, even when
the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a
given reception area, and do not indicate
any malfunction in your radio system. Remember that a moving vehicle is not
the ideal place to listen to a radio. Be-
cause of the movement, reception condi-
tions will constantly change. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against
ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
