some tire damage may not be obvious. Re-
place the tires as necessary to prevent tire
failure and possible personal injury.
•Improper service of the spare tire may result
in serious personal injury. If it is necessary
to repair the spare tire, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
•For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada)
in the Warranty Information Booklet.
Tires should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread.
If excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts
are found, the tire should be replaced immedi-
ately.
The original tires have a built-in tread wear
indicator. When the wear indicator is visible,
the tire should be replaced.
Improper servicing of a tire may result in seri-
ous personal injury. If it is necessary to repair a
tire, it is recommended you contact an INFINITI
retailer.
TIRE ROTATION
INFINITI recommends rotating the tires every
5,000 miles (8,000 km).
For additional information on tire replacing
procedures, refer to Flat tirein the6. In case
of emergency section.As soon as possible,
tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 96 ft-lb (130 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to speci-
fications at all times. It is recommended that
wheel nuts be tightened to specification at each
tire rotation interval.
WARNING
•After rotating the tires, check and adjust the
tire pressure.
•Do not include the spare tire in the tire rota-
tion.
•For additional information regarding tires,
refer to Important Tire Safety Information
(US) or Tire Safety Information in the War-
ranty Information Booklet.
REPLACING WHEELS AND TIRES
WARNING
Do not install a deformed wheel or tire even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing a tire, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. (See Wheels and Tires in the
9. Maintenance and Schedules section for
recommended types and sizes of tires and
wheels.)
If the wheels are changed for any reason,
always replace with wheels which have the
same offset dimension. Wheels of a different
offset could cause early tire wear, possibly
degraded vehicle handling characteristics
and/or interference with the brake discs/
drums. Such interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe
wear.

or other corrosive materials, check lubrication
frequently.
Lights*
:
Clean the headlights on a regular basis. Make
sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights,
turn signal lights, and other lights are all oper-
ating properly and installed securely. Also
check the aim of the headlights.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*
:
When checking the tires, make sure no wheel
nuts are missing, and check for any loose wheel
nuts. Tighten if necessary.
Tire rotation*
:
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km). Tires marked with directional indi-
cators can only be rotated between front and
rear. Make sure that the directional indicators
point in the direction of wheel rotation after the
tire rotation is completed.
Tires*
:
Check the pressure with a gauge often and
always prior to long distance trips. Adjust the
pressure in all tires to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive
wear.Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) trans-
mitter components
:
Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal,
valve core and cap when the tires are replaced
due to wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance
:
If the vehicle should pull to either side while
driving on a straight and level road, or if you
detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may
be a need for wheel alignment.
If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal
highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
For additional information regarding tires, refer
to “Important Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the
INFINITI Warranty Information Booklet.
Windshield
:
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check
the windshield at least every six months for
cracks or other damage. Have a damaged wind-
shield repaired by a qualified repair facility.
Wiper blades*
:
Check for cracks or wear if not functioning
correctly. Replace as necessary.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on a regular basis, such as when
performing scheduled maintenance, cleaning
the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal
:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make
sure that the pedal does not catch or require
uneven effort. Keep the floor mat away from the
pedal.
Automatic transmission P (Park) mechanism
:
On a fairly steep hill, check that your vehicle is
held securely when P (Park) has been activated,
without applying any brakes.
Brake pedal*
:
Check the pedal for smooth operation. If the
brake pedal suddenly goes down further than
normal, the pedal feels spongy or the vehicle
seems to take longer to stop, have your vehicle
checked immediately. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. Keep
the floor mat away from the pedal.

INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System
(front seats)
WARNING
To ensure proper operation of the passen-
ger’s INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System,
please observe the following items:
●If a forward-facing child restraint is in-
stalled in the front passenger seat, do
not position the front passenger seat so
the child restraint contacts the instru-
ment panel. If the child restraint does
contact the instrument panel, the sys-
tem may determine the seat is occupied
and the passenger air bag may deploy
in a collision. For additional informa-
tion about installing and using child re-
straints, refer to “Child restraints” in the
“1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section.
● Confirm the operating condition with
the front passenger air bag status light.
● If you notice that the front passenger air
bag status light is not operating as de-
scribed in this section, get the occupant
classification system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. ●
Until you have confirmed with a retailer
that your passenger seat occupant clas-
sification system is working properly,
position the occupants in the rear seat-
ing positions.
This vehicle is equipped with the INFINITI Ad-
vanced Air Bag System for the driver and front
passenger seats. This system is designed to
meet certification requirements under U.S. regu-
lations. It is also permitted in Canada.
All of the information, cautions and warn-
ings in this manual still apply and must be
followed. The driver supplemental front-impact
air bag is located in the center of the steering
wheel. The front passenger supplemental front-
impact air bag is mounted in the dashboard
above the glove box. The front air bags are de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal colli-
sions, although they may inflate if the forces in
another type of collision are similar to those of a
higher severity frontal impact. They may not in-
flate in certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage
(or lack of it) is not always an indication of proper
front air bag system operation.
The INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System monitors
information from the crash zone sensor, the Air
bag Control Unit (ACU) , seat belt buckle sensor
and occupant classification sensor (pressure
sensor) . Inflator operation is based on the sever- ity of a collision and seat belt usage for the driver.
For the front passenger, the occupant classifica-
tion sensor is also monitored. Based on informa-
tion from the sensor, only one front air bag may
inflate in a crash, depending on the crash severity
and whether the front occupants are belted or
unbelted. Additionally, the front passenger air
bag may be automatically turned off under some
conditions, depending on the information pro-
vided by the Occupant Classification System
Sensor. If the front passenger air bag is OFF, the

indicator
light will be illuminated. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Front passenger air bag and status
light” in the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section. One
front air bag inflating does not indicate improper
performance of the system.
If a crash occurs in which the vehicle’s air bags
deploy, by design the vehicle may not restart. If
this occurs, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for repair.
If you have any questions about your air bag
system, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer to obtain information about the
system. If you are considering modification of
your vehicle due to a disability, you may also
contact INFINITI. Contact information is con-
tained in the front of this Owner’s Manual.

If the automatic front passenger front air bag deac-
tivation system is malfunctioning, the
red
restraint system warning light in the
combination meter and the BAG OFF> indicator light light up simultaneously.
The front passenger front air bag is disabled in this
case and does not deploy during an accident. Have
the system checked as soon as possible by quali-
fied technicians. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes/consequences and solutions
The
indicator lamp lights up and remains
lit, even though the front passenger
seat is occupied by an adult or a per-
son with a build corresponding to that
of an adult. ●
Make sure the conditions for a correct classification of the person on the front passenger seat are met (see “Front passenger air bag” earlier
in this section) .
● If the indicator light remains lit, the front passenger seat may not be used.
● Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
The
indicator lamp does not light up
and/or does not stay on. ●
Make sure there is nothing between the seat and the child restraint system.
● Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system rests on the seat cushion of the front passenger seat.
● When installing the child restraint system, make sure that the seat belt is tight. Do not pull the seat belt tight with the front passenger seat
adjustment. This could result in the seat belt and the child restraint system being pulled too tightly.
● Check that the child restraint system is installed correctly.
● Make sure that no objects are applying additional weight to the seat.
● Have the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system checked as soon as possible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
