CAUTION
•Always connect positive+to positive+and negative-to body ground (for ex-
ample, strut mounting bolt, engine lift
bracket, etc.) – not to the battery’s negative
-.
•Be sure that the jumper cables do not touch
moving parts in the engine compartment
and that the cable clamps do not contact
any other metal.
9. Start the engine of the other vehicle
Aand
let it run for a few minutes. Keep the engine
speed at about 2,000 rpm.
10. Start the engine of your vehicle
Bin the
normal way.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for
more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not
start right away, place the ignition switch in
the OFF position and wait 10 seconds before
trying again.
11. After starting the engine of your vehicle, carefully disconnect the negative lead and
then the positive lead (
4→3→2→
1). 12. Remove and dispose of the cloth that was
used to cover the ventilator holes as it may
be contaminated with corrosive acid.
13. Install the ventilator caps (if equipped).
14. Close the hood.
NOTE
For models which incorporate the Idle Stop/
Start System:
•Ensure that the battery fitted is the special
battery that is enhanced with regard to the
charge-discharge capacity and life perfor-
mance. Avoid using any other battery for the
Idle Stop/Start System, as this may cause
early deterioration of the battery or a mal-
function of the Idle Stop/Start System. It is
recommended that a Genuine INFINITI bat-
tery is fitted. For more information, it is
recommended you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer.
•If the battery terminal is disconnected (for
battery replacement, etc.) and then recon-
nected, there may be some delay before the
Idle top/Start System reactivates. Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
CAUTION
•Automatic Transmission (AT) model cannot
be push-started or tow-started. Attempting
to do so may cause damage to the transmis-
sion.
•Three-way catalyst equipped models
should not be started by pushing. Attempt-
ing to do so may cause damage to the three-
way catalyst.
•Never try to start the vehicle by towing it;
when the engine starts, the forward surge
could cause the vehicle to collide with the
tow vehicle.

ACCESSING VEHICLE BATTERY
The vehicle battery is stored under a cover. To
remove the cover to gain access to the battery:
1. Disconnect the hood release cable
1and
any other cables from the battery cover. 2. Hold the battery top cover firmly and slide it
towards the front of the car
2and upwards
3.
3. Lift the cover up and away from the battery.
NOTE
When installing the battery cover, remember to
replace cables in their original position.
MAINTENANCE FREE BATTERY
For a maintenance free battery it is not required
to check the fluid level. However, INFINITI rec-
ommends to visually check the status of the
green indicator
A(if so equipped) periodically.
If it is not visible, replace the battery as soon as
possible.

SYSTEM
•Ensure that the battery fitted is the special
battery that is enhanced with regard to the

mance. Avoid using any other battery for the

9. Reconnect the negative (—) battery cable and close the hood. If you have a flat tire, refer to
Flat tirein the6.
In case of emergency section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the low
tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of
the tires is significantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while driving).
For additional information, refer to Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the
5. Starting and driving section.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the spare)
often and always prior to long distance trips.
The recommended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or
the Tire and Loading Information label (if so
equipped) under the Cold Tire Pressure head-
ing. The Tire and Loading Information label is
affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should be checked regularly be-
cause:
•Most tires naturally lose air over time.
•Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over
potholes or other objects or if the vehicle
strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked when the
tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD
after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.
WARNING
•Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly
and cause an accident.
•The Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) is
located on the F.M.V.S. S./C.M.V.S.S. certi-
fication label. The vehicle weight capacity is
indicated on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label (if so equipped). Do not load your
vehicle beyond this capacity. Overloading
your vehicle may result in reduced tire life,
unsafe operating conditions due to prema-
ture tire failure, or unfavorable handling
characteristics and could also lead to a se-
rious accident. Loading beyond the speci-
fied capacity may also result in failure of
other vehicle components.
