battery INFINITI QX30 2018 Workshop Manual

To ensure smooth, trouble-free, safe and
economical driving, INFINITI provides two
maintenance schedules that may be used,
depending upon the conditions in which you
usually drive. These schedules contain both
distance and time intervals, up to 120,000
miles (192,000 km)/144 months. For most
people, the odometer reading will indicate
when service is needed. However, if you drive
very little, your vehicle should be serviced at
the regular time intervals shown in the sched-
ule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144
months, continue maintenance at the same
mileage/time intervals.
OIL CHANGE MONITOR
This vehicle is equipped with oil change moni-
tor. It calculates engine oil and filter change
interval base on driving conditions. When the
Engine Oil – Service Due Now warning ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, the
engine oil and filter need to be replaced.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE
MESSAGES
The maintenance service interval display in-
forms you of the next service due date.
NOTE
The maintenance service interval display
does not show any information on the engine
oil level.
The vehicle information display shows a ser-
vice message for a few seconds, for example:
•[Service A In .. days]
•[Service A Due]
•[Service A Exceeded by .. days]
Depending on the operating conditions of the
vehicle, the remaining time or distance until
the next service due date is displayed.
The letter indicates which service is due. A
stands for a minor service and B for a major
service. A number or another letter may be
displayed after the letter.
Only for certain countries: the position after
the letter A or B indicates any necessary ad-
ditional maintenance work. If you notify an
INFINITI retailer of this display, you will re-
ceive a statement on the associated costs.
The maintenance service interval display does
not take into account any periods of time dur-
ing which the battery is disconnected.
Maintaining the time-dependent service
schedule:
Note down the service due date displayed in
the vehicle information display before dis-
connecting the battery.
or
After reconnecting the battery, subtract the
battery disconnection periods from the ser-
vice date shown on the display.
Hiding service messages

ing wheel.

9-12Maintenance and Schedules

For Canada:
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately in-
form Transport Canada in addition to notify-
ing INFINITI.
If Transport Canada receives complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it finds that
a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may request that INFINITI conduct a recall
campaign. However, Transport Canada can-
not become involved in individual problems
between you, your retailer, or INFINITI.
You may contact Transport Canada’s Defect
Investigations and Recalls Division toll free
at 1-800-333- 0510. You may also report
safety defects online at:
https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec- Sur/7/
PCDB-BDPP/Index.aspx.
Additional information concerning motor
vehicle safety may be obtained from Trans-
port Canada’s Road Safety Information
Center at 1-800-333- 0371 or online at
www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety (English speakers)
or www.tc.gc.ca/securiteroutiere (French
speakers).
To notify INFINITI of any safety concerns
please contact our Consumer Information
Center toll free at 1-800- 361-4792.WARNING
A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) should never be tested using a two
wheel dynamometer (such as the dyna-
mometers used by some states for emis-
sions testing), or similar equipment. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel that
your vehicle is equipped with AWD before
it is placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in trans-
mission damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states and
Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may be re-
quired to be in what is called the “ready con-
dition” for an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
test of the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”
when it is driven through certain driving pat-
terns. Usually, the “ready condition” can be
obtained by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is repaired
or the battery is disconnected, the vehicle
may be reset to a “not ready condition”. Be-
fore taking the I/M test, check the vehicle’s
inspection/maintenance test readiness con-
dition. Place the ignition switch in the ON
position without starting the engine. If theMalfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes on
steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for
10 seconds, the I/M test condition is “not
ready”. If the MIL does not blink after 20 sec-
onds, the I/M test condition is “ready”.
It is recommended you contact an INFINITI
retailer to set the “ready condition” or to pre-
pare the vehicle for testing.
