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

6. Push the ignition switch to the “ACC”
position. Then turn the compressor
switch to the ON (−) position and inflate
the tire up to the pressure that is
specified on the tire and loading infor-
mation label affixed to the driver’s side
pillar if possible, or to the minimum of 26
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.
. Do not stand directly beside the
damaged 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

cing.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified amount, turn the air compressor 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 (*) position, 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 punc-
ture repair kit. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this servi-
cing.
The sealant bottle and hose cannot be
reused to repair another punctured tire.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer to purchase replacements.

. Immediately after using Emergency
Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire
puncture, take your vehicle to in-
spect, and repair or replace the tire.
It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. The
Emergency Tire Sealant cannot per-
manently seal a punctured tire. Con-
tinuing operation of the vehicle
without a permanent tire repair can
lead to a crash.
. INFINITI recommends using only
Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tire
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.

To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must
be followed.
WARNING
.If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting
in severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
the battery.
. Do not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with eyes, skin, clothing
or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a
corrosive sulphuric acid solution
which can cause severe burns. If the
fluid should come into contact with
anything, immediately flush the con-
tacted area with water.
. Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
. The booster battery must be rated at
12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.
. Whenever working on or near a
battery, always wear suitable eye
protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and re-
move rings, metal bands, or any other
jewelry. Do not lean over the battery
when jump starting.
. Do not attempt to jump start a
frozen battery. It could explode and
cause serious injury.
. Your vehicle has an automatic engine
cooling fan. It could come on at any
time. Keep hands and other objects
away from it.
For 2.0L turbo gasoline engine models:
The vehicle has 2 batteries, a main
battery and an auxiliary battery. The
engine cannot be started if either bat-
tery is discharged. First, apply the
following procedure to the main battery
to jump-start the engine.
If the engine does not start, apply the
procedure to the auxiliary battery. For
the position of the batteries, see “Engine
compartment check locations” (P.8-4)
or “Battery” (P.8-16).
. Use the special battery that is dedi-
cated for the Idling Stop System,
with enhanced charge-discharge ca-
pacity and life performance. Using
the non-special battery could cause
early deterioration of the battery
and/or malfunction of the Idling Stop System. For the special battery, it is
recommended to use Genuine
NISSAN parts. For more information,
contact an INFINITI retailer.
. It may take some time until the Idling
Stop System activates when the
battery is replaced or the battery
terminal is disconnected for extended
periods and then reconnected.
