Engine Oil or Oil Filter, choose an item
using the joystick and push the ªENTERº
button.
You can also set to display a message to
remind you that the maintenance needs
to be performed.
The following example shows how to set
the engine oil change interval. Use the
same steps to set the other maintenance
information. 1. Reset the driving distance to the new
maintenance schedule.
2. Set the interval (mileage) of the main-
tenance schedule. To determine the
recommended maintenance interval,
refer to your ªINFINITI Service and
Maintenance Guideº.
3. To display the maintenance informa-
tion automatically when the set
trip distance is reached, highlight the

BRAKING PRECAUTIONS The brake system has two separate hy-
draulic circuits. If one circuit malfunc-
tions, you will still have braking ability at
two wheels.
Vacuum assisted brake
The brake booster aids braking by using
engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you
can stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal. However, greater foot pres-
sure on the brake pedal will be required
to stop the vehicle and the stopping dis-
tance will be longer.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven
through water, the brakes may get wet.
As a result, your braking distance will be
longer and the vehicle may pull to one
side during braking.
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe
speed while lightly tapping the brake
pedal to heat-up the brakes. Do this until
the brakes return to normal. Avoid driving
the vehicle at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Parking brake break-in
Break-in the parking brake shoes when-
ever the stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened or whenever the park-
ing brake shoes and/or drums/rotors are
replaced, in order to assure the best
braking performance.
This procedure is described in the vehicle
service manual and can be performed by
your INFINITI dealer.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving. This will cause overheating
of the brakes, increases wear on the
brakes and pads, and reduces gas
mileage.
To help save the brakes and to prevent
the brakes from overheating, reduce
speed and downshift to a lower gear be-
fore going down a slope or long grade.
Overheated brakes may reduce braking
performance and could result in loss of
vehicle control.
WARNING O While driving on a slippery surface, be
careful when braking, accelerating or
downshifting. Abrupt braking or accel- erating could cause the wheels to skid
and result in an accident.
O If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for the
brakes will not work. Braking will be
harder.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) The anti-lock brake system (ABS) controls
the brakes so the wheels will not lock when
braking abruptly or when braking on slip-
pery surfaces. The system detects the rota-
tion speed at each wheel and varies the
brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheel
from locking and sliding. By preventing
wheel lockup, the system helps the driver
maintain steering control and helps to mini-
mize swerving and spinning on slippery sur-
faces.
Using the system Depress the brake pedal and hold it
down.BRAKE SYSTEM

Every new INFINITI comes with a 4 year,
unlimited mileage Roadside Assistance
plan. In the event of a roadside
emergency, Roadside Assistance Service
is available to you. Please refer to your
Warranty Booklet (U.S.) or Warranty &
Roadside assistance information booklet
(Canada) for details. Both the Warranty
Booklet and Roadside Assistance Calling
Card in your Owner's Literature Portfolio
provide the Toll-Free Number to call for
assistance. Roadside Assistance is
provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
for 4 years from the date sold to give
emergency roadside help, in the event of
mechanical or nonmechanical trouble(s)
such as flat tires, out-of-gas, dead battery,
lost keys, mechanical breakdown,
accident, etc. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) This vehicle is equipped with the tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, or flashing continuously one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn
you of it by the low tire pressure warning
light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). For more details, refer to
ªWarning/indicator lights and audible re-
mindersº in the ª2. Instruments and con-
trolsº section and ªTire pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS)º in the ª5. Starting
and drivingº section.
WARNING O If the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious per-
sonal injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
to turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O
Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire
sealant into the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE If you have a flat tire, follow the instruc-
tions below.ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FLAT TIRE
