General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owner can perform these
checks and inspections or have thei r INFINITI dealers perform them.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed fr om time to time, unless otherwise specified.
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.
Item Reference page
Tires Check the pressure with a gauge at least once a month and always prior to a
long distance trip. Adjust to the specified pressure if necessary. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear. —

Wheel alignment and
balanceIf the vehicle pulls to either side while driving on a straight and level road, or if
you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel bal-
ancing may be needed. WT-46, "Adjustment",

Doors and engine
hood Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back
hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make
sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary
latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check lubri-
cation frequently. MA-33, "

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM
E/R sends a drive signal to the follo wing systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure low/coolant pressure high warning indicator
• Oil pressure gauge
• Rear window defogger
• Front wipers
• Tail, license and parking lamps
• Front fog lamps
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
• Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper a rms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-
age due to wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actuated, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-67, "
Descrip-
tion".
• Do not start the engine.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.

Concept of auto active test
• IPDM E/R starts the auto active test with the door
switch signals transmitted by BCM via CAN communica-
tion. Therefore, the CAN communication line between IPDM E/R and BCM is considered normal if the auto
active test starts successfully.
• The auto active test facilitates troubleshooting if any systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated.
