kg-m)
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel bolts to
the specified torque with a torque wrench.
The wheel bolts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recommended
that the wheel bolts be tightened to specifica-
tion at each maintenance interval.
Adjust the tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure is the tire pressure as measured
after the vehicle has been parked for three
hours or more or driven for less than 1 mile (1.6
km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire and
loading information label affixed to the driver’s
side center pillar.
Wheel lock bolts (if equipped)
In order to prevent theft, the specially designed
wheel lock bolt is installed to each wheel. The
wheel lock bolt cannot be removed with the
commonly used tools. When removing tires, use the lock key provided
with your vehicle.
Removing the wheel lock bolt
:
1. Insert the wheel lock key1to the wheel
lock bolt.
2. To remove the wheel lock bolt, turn the wheel lock key counterclockwise using the
wheel wrench.
CAUTION
•Do not use a power tool to remove the wheel
lock bolts.
•When installing the wheel, tighten the
wheel lock bolts to the same tightening
torque as the normal wheel bolts. For de-
tails, see Installing the wheel earlier in
this section. NOTE
•The wheel lock bolt has an individual code. A
wheel lock key with other than the individual
code cannot remove the wheel lock bolt. If
you lose the wheel lock key, it is recom-
mended you contact an INFINITI retailer for a
duplicate with the original wheel lock key
code.
•Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place, not in the vehicle.
•When you ask for a service at an INFINITI
retailer, make sure to keep the lock key in
the vehicle. Otherwise, wheels cannot be
removed and the service cannot be per-
formed.
