jacking INFINITI G35 2006 Owners Manual

Remember, drinking and driving don't
mix!
And that's true for drugs too (over the
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).
Don't drive if your ability to operate your
vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or
some other physical condition.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (for AWD
models)
WARNINGO Do not drive beyond the performance ca-
pability of the tires, even with AWD en-
gaged. Accelerating quickly, sharp
steering maneuvers or sudden braking
may cause loss of control.
O Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or
radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the rear
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully. O This vehicle is not designed for off-road
(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy
or muddy roads that tires may get stuck
in.
O Do not place an AWD equipped vehicle
on a two wheel dynamometer or raise
two wheels off the ground and shift the
transmission to any D (drive) or R (re-
verse) position. Doing so may result in
transmission damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury.
O Never operate the accelerator pedal with
any wheels raised and the other wheels
on the ground while jacking up or with
any wheels on a roller and the other
wheels on the ground. Otherwise, the
vehicle could lurch forward or backward.
O When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION The ignition lock is designed so the key
cannot be turned to the LOCK position
and removed until the selector lever is
moved to the P (Park) position.
When removing the key from the ignition
switch, make sure the selector lever is in
the P (Park) position.
If the selector lever is not returned to the
P (Park) position, the key cannot be
moved to the LOCK position. SSD0392

severe injury or death. It could also dam-
age your vehicle.
O Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
the battery.
O Do not allow battery fluid to come into

Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie
downs or recovery hooks.

straps are not recommended for use in
vehicle towing or recovery.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow,
mud, etc., use the following procedure:
