TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and TM sections.
Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000003771200
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-
essary.
• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precaution for Fuel (Unlead ed Premium Gasoline Recommended)INFOID:0000000005892332
NISSAN/INFINITI recommends the us e of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI
(Anti-Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96). If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI number (Research octane number 91), but
you may notice a decrease in performance.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Usin g leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Using a fuel
other than that specified could adversely affect the emission cont rol devices and systems, and could
also affect the warranty coverage validity.
CAUTION:
Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel
can cause damage to the fuel system components an d is not covered by the INFINTI vehicle limited
warranty.
Multiport Fuel Inje ction System or Engine Control SystemINFOID:0000000003771202
• Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
• Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec- tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
• Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow sensor.
HosesINFOID:0000000003771203
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
• To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose withtapered tool or screwdriver.

*1: For further details, refer to MA-13, "Engine Oil Recommendation".
*2: If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine Matic J ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission fluid
other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF or Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in drivability and automatic transmission dura-
bility, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the INFINITI new vehicle limited warranty.
*3: DEXRON
TM VI type ATF may also be used.
*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through an INFINITI dealer.
*5: For further details, see “Air conditioner specification label”.
*6: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient te mperatures above 0° C (32 ° F).
*7: For improved vehicle performance, INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at leas t 91
AKI (RON 96). For further details, refer to GI-27, "
Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended)",
*8: See an INFINITI dealer for service for synthetic oil.
*9: Using fluid other than Genuine Nissan Matic D ATF may cause deterioration in drivability and transfer durability, and may d amage the
