Brake pads/linings and rotors that are either
new or have been replaced only achieve opti-
mum braking effect after several hundred
miles of driving. Compensate for the reduced
braking effect by applying greater force to the
brake pedalFollow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.
1.
Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake Pedal Ap-
plication
•Avoid rapid starts and stops.
•Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake
application whenever possible.
•Maintain constant speed while commuting
and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain Constant Speed
•Look ahead to try and anticipate and
minimize stops.
•Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.
•Maintaining a steady speed can minimize
red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.
3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher Vehicle
Speeds
•Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
•Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle due
to increased aerodynamic drag.
•Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Distances
•Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where legally
allowed) can improve fuel efficiency due
to reduced aerodynamic drag.
•Maintaining a safe following distance be-
hind other vehicles reduces unnecessary
braking.
•Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
•Select a gear range suitable to road con-
ditions.
5. Use Cruise Control
•Using cruise control during highway driv-
ing helps maintain a steady speed.
•Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
Utilize a map or navigation system to determine
the best route to save time.

4. Fit the replacement battery in the vehicle.
REINITIALISATION PROCEDURE AFTER
BATTERY RECONNECTION
If the battery has been reconnected, check the
following items:
•Clock setting (if so equipped). For details,
see Clock in the2. Instruments and con-
trols section, or the separately provided
navigation system Owner’s Manual, or the
audio device descriptions in Audio system
(if equipped) in the4. Display screen,
heater and air conditioner, and audio sys-
tem section.
•Reset the desired radio stations to the preset
station buttons. For details, see the audio
device descriptions in the “4. Heater and air
conditioner, and audio system”.
JUMP-STARTING
If jump-starting is necessary, see Jump
starting in the6. In case of emergency sec-
tion. If the engine does not start by jump
starting, the battery may have to be replaced. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
WARNING
Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before servicing drive belt. The engine
could rotate unexpectedly.
1. Visually inspect each belt for signs of un- usual wear, cuts, fraying or looseness. If the
belt is in poor condition or loose, have it
replaced or adjusted. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
2. Have the belts checked regularly for condi- tion and tension in accordance with the
maintenance schedule as shown in a sepa-
rately provided Warranty Information and
Maintenance booklet.
