psi (180 kPa). Turn the air compressor
off briefly in order to check the tire
pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the
specified pressure, lower the tire pres-
sure by releasing air with the pressure
release valve.NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge may
show a pressure reading of 87 psi (600
kPa) for about 30 seconds while inflat-
ing the tire. The pressure gauge is
indicating the pressure inside the sea-
lant can. When the sealant has been
injected into the tire the pressure gauge
will drop and indicate actual tire pres-
sure.
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.

battery or any transistorized compo-
nent while the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
.Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
.If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other movingparts.
.It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.
.Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.
.If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.
.Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
.Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel tank and the
battery.
.Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warn-
ing, even if the ignition key is in the
OFF position and the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always dis-
connect the negative battery cable

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL
Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank
when the engine is running and after it
reaches normal operating temperature. If
the coolant level is below MIN level
, add
coolant up to the MAX level. If the
reservoir tank is empty, check the coolant
level in the radiatorwhen the engine is cold.
If there is insufficient coolant in the radiator,
fill the radiator with coolant up to the filler
cap above the radiator upper hose opening
and also add it to the reservoir tank up to the
MAX level
. Put on the filler cap above the
radiator upper hose and with the reservoir
cap open, start the engine. Run the engineuntil it reaches normal operating tempera-
ture. Add coolant up to the MAX level
.
Tighten the cap securely after adding engine
coolant.
If the cooling system requires coolant fre-
quently, have it checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
It is recommended that major cooling system
repairs be performed by an INFINITI retailer.
The service procedures can be found in the
appropriate INFINITI Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.
WARNING
.To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never change the coolant when the
engine is hot.
.Never remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. Serious burns could
be caused by high pressure fluid
escaping from the radiator.
.Avoid direct skin contact with used
coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaneras soon as possible.
.Keep coolant out of reach of children
and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of prop-
erly. Check your local regulations.

The engine cooling system is filled at the
factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50%
BASF Glysantin
®G48®and 50% water to
provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant
protection. The anti-freeze solution contains
rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional
engine cooling system additives are not
necessary.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Wait until the engine and
radiator cool down. Serious burns could
be caused by high pressure fluid escaping
from the radiator. See precautions in “If
your vehicle overheats” (P.6-21) of this
manual.
CAUTION
.Never use any cooling system addi-
tives such as radiator sealer. Addi-
tives may clog the cooling system and
cause damage to the engine, trans-
mission and/or cooling system.
.When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only BASF Glysantin
®
G48®or equivalent. BASF Glysantin®
G48®is pre-diluted to provide anti-freeze protection to −34°F (−37°C). If
additional freeze protection is
needed due to weather where you
operate your vehicle, add BASF Gly-
santin
®G48®concentrate following
the directions on the container. If an
equivalent coolant other than BASF
Glysantin
®G48®is used, follow the
coolant manufacture’s instructions to
maintain minimum antifreeze protec-
tion to −34°F (−37°C). The use of
other types of coolant solutions
other than BASF Glysantin
®G48®
or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.
.The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 120,000 miles (192,000
km) or 10 years. Mixing any other
type of coolant other than BASF
Glysantin
®G48®, or the use of non-
distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill cool-
ant. Refer to the “9. Maintenance
and schedules” section of this manual
for more details.
