cause an accident.
. Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.
. Retighten the wheel nuts when the
vehicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
.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·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened
to specifications at all times. It is
recommended that the wheel nuts be
tightened to specifications at each
lubrication interval.
.Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure:
After the vehicle has been parked for 3
hours or more or driven less than 1
mile (1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label
affixed to the driver side center pillar.
5. Securely store the flat tire and jacking equipment in the vehicle.
6. Place the jacking tool case and the trunk floor board over the damaged
tire.
7. Close the trunk.
WARNING
. Always make sure that the spare tire and

dangerous projectiles in an accident or
sudden stop.
. The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. See specific instructions under the
heading “Wheels and tires” (P.8-30).
REPAIRING FLAT TIRE (for models
with emergency tire puncture repair
kit)
WARNING
.After using Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, do not drive
the vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
. Immediately after using the Emergency
Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire
puncture, take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer to inspect, and repair or replace
the tire. The Emergency Tire Sealant
cannot permanently seal a punctured
tire. Continuing operation of the vehicle
without a permanent tire repair can lead
to a crash.
. If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant

to repair a minor tire puncture, your
INFINITI retailer will also need to replace
the TPMS sensor in addition to repairing
or replacing the tire.
. INFINITI recommends using only NISSAN
Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant pro-
vided with your vehicle. Other tire
sealants may damage the valve stem
seal which can cause the tire to lose air
pressure.
This vehicle does not have a spare tire. The
emergency tire puncture repair kit (Emer-
gency Tire Sealant) is supplied with the
vehicle instead of a spare tire. It can be
used to temporarily repair minor tire
punctures.
If possible, have the vehicle towed to a
facility that can repair or replace the flat
tire. Using the emergency tire puncture
repair kit may cause a malfunction of the
tire pressure sensor and cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate.
If you have a flat tire, follow the instruc-
tions below.
CAUTION
.To avoid the emergency tire puncture kit
being damaged during storage or use:
—Only use the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit on your vehicle. Do not
use it on other vehicles.
—Only use the kit to inflate the tiresof your vehicle and to check the
vehicle’s tire pressure.
—Only plug the compressor into a 12VDC car power point.
—Keep the kit free of water and dirt.
—Do not disassemble or modify thekit.
—Do not drop the kit or allow hardimpacts to the kit.
. Do not use the emergency tire puncture
repair kit under the following conditions.
Contact an INFINITI retailer or profes-
sional road assistance.
—when the sealant has passed its
expiration date (shown on the label
attached to the bottle)
—when the cut or the puncture isapproximately 0.25 in (6 mm) or
longer

In case of emergency6-11

NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge
may show a pressure reading of 87 psi
(600 kPa) for about 30 seconds while
inflating the tire. The pressure gauge is
indicating the pressure inside the
sealant can. When the sealant has
been injected into the tire the pressure
gauge will drop and indicate actual tire
pressure.
WARNING
.To avoid serious personal injury while
using the emergency tire puncture repair
kit:
—Securely tighten the compressor
hose to the tire valve. Failure to do
so can cause the sealant to spray
into the air and get into your eyes or
on the skin.
. Do not stand directly beside the da-
maged tire while it is being inflated
because of the risk of the rupture. If
there are any cracks or bumps, turn the
compressor off immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase to 26 psi (180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the
tire may be seriously damaged and
the
tire cannot be repaired with this tire
repair kit. Contact an INFINITI retailer.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified amount, turn the air compres-
sor off. If the pressure cannot be
inflated to the specified amount, the
air compressor can be turned off at the
minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa). Remove
the power plug from the power outlet
and quickly remove the hose from the
tire valve. Attach the protective cap and
valve cap. Properly stow the emergency
tire puncture repair kit in the trunk.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury when
stowing the emergency tire puncture repair
kit:
. Keep the sealant bottle screwed into the
compressor. Failure to do so can cause
the sealant to spray into the air and get
into your eyes or on the skin.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10
minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed of 50 MPH (80 km/h) or less.
9. After driving, make sure that the air compressor switch is in the OFF posi-
tion, then screw the hose securely onto
the tire valve. Check the tire pressure
with the pressure gauge. The temporary
repair is completed if the tire pressure
does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to
the pressure that is specified on the
tire and loading information label
before driving.
10. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps from 5 to 9. If the pressure drops
again or under 19 psi (130 kPa), the
tire cannot be repaired with this tire
repair kit. Contact an INFINITI retailer.
The sealant bottle and hose can not be
reused to repair another punctured tire.
Contact an INFINITI retailer to purchase
replacements.
