gas mileage INFINITI QX30 2019 Owner's Manual

air conditioner after use is normal. If you
should notice any leaks or if gasoline fumes
are evident, check for the cause and have it
corrected immediately.
Radiator and hoses:
Check the front of the radiator and clean off
any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that may have
accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no
cracks, deformation, rot or loose connec-
tions.
Underbody:
The underbody is frequently exposed to cor-
rosive substances such as those used on icy
roads or to control dust. It is very important to
remove these substances, otherwise rust will
form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and
around the exhaust system. At the end of
winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to
clean those areas where mud and dirt may
accumulate. For additional information, see
"Cleaning exterior".

tervals each item requires service.
