in this section to replace the tire with a spare
tire (if so equipped). For the vehicles with
run-flat tires, you can continue driving to a
safe location even if they are punctured. (See
“Run-flat tires” (P.6-4) and “Run-flat tires”
(P.8-39).)
This section also contains the information
about the vehicle jack-up procedures.

Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
as soon as possible after using tire
repair sealant.
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 you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below.
CAUTION
.To avoid the emergency tire puncture
repair kit being damaged during sto-
rage or use:
— Only use the emergency tire
puncture repair kit on your vehi-
cle. Do not use it on other vehicles.
— Only use the kit to inflate the
tires of your vehicle and to check
the vehicle’s tire pressure.
— Only plug the compressor into a
12V DC car power point.— Keep the kit free of water and
dirt.
— Do not disassemble or modify the
kit.
— Do not drop the kit or allow hard
impacts to the kit.
.Do not use the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit under the following
conditions. It is recommended you
visit 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 is
approximately 0.25 in (6 mm) or
longer
— when the tire sidewall is damaged
— when the vehicle has been driven
with extremely low tire pressure

7-2Appearance and care
In order to maintain the appearance of your
vehicle, it is important to take proper care of
it.
To protect the paint surface, wash your
vehicle as soon as you can:
.after a rainfall to prevent possible da-
mage from acid rain
.after driving on coastal roads
.when contaminants such as soot, bird
droppings, tree sap, metal particles or
bugs get on the paint surface
.when dust or mud builds up on the
surface
Whenever possible, store or park your
vehicle inside a garage or in a covered area.
When it is necessary to park outside, park in
a shady area or protect the vehicle with a
body cover.
Be careful not to scratch the paint surface
when putting on or removing the body
cover.WASHING
Wash dirt off the vehicle with a wet sponge
and plenty of water. Clean the vehicle
thoroughly using a mild soap, a special
vehicle soap or general purpose dishwashing
liquid mixed with clean, lukewarm (never hot)
water.
CAUTION
.Do not use car washes that use acid in
the detergent. Some car washes,
especially brushless ones, use some
acid for cleaning. The acid may react
with some plastic vehicle compo-
nents, causing them to crack. This
could affect their appearance, and
also could cause them not to function
properly. Always check with your car
wash to confirm that acid is not used.
.Do not wash the vehicle with strong
household soap, strong chemical de-
tergents, gasoline or solvents.
.Do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or while the vehicle body is
hot, as the surface may become
water-spotted.
.Avoid using tight-napped or rough
cloths, such as washing mitts. Care
must be taken when removing caked-on dirt or other foreign substances so
the paint surface is not scratched or
damaged.
Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of clean
water.
Inside flanges, seams and folds on the doors,
hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable
to the effects of road salt. Therefore, these
areas must be regularly cleaned. Make sure
that the drain holes in the lower edge of the
door are open. Spray water under the body
and in the wheel wells to loosen the dirt and
wash away road salt.
Avoid leaving water spots on the paint
surface by using a damp chamois to dry the
vehicle.
WAXING
Regular waxing protects the paint surface
and helps retain new vehicle appearance.
Polishing is recommended to remove built-
up wax residue and to avoid a weathered
appearance before reapplying wax.
An INFINITI retailer can assist you in choos-
ing the proper product.
.Wax your vehicle only after a thorough
washing. Follow the instructions sup-
plied with the wax.
