maintenance INFINITI QX60 2016 Owners Manual

An INFINITI represents a new way of thinking
about vehicle design. It integrates advanced en-
gineering and superior craftsmanship with a
simple, refined aesthetic sensitivity associated
with traditional Japanese culture.
The result is a different notion of luxury and
beauty. The car itself is important, but so is the
sense of harmony that the vehicle evokes in its
driver, and the sense of satisfaction you feel with
the INFINITI — from the way it looks and drives to
the high level of retailer service.
To ensure that you enjoy an INFINITI to the fullest,
we encourage you to read this Owner’s Manual
immediately. It explains all of the features, con-
trols and performance characteristics of an
INFINITI; it also provides important instructions
and safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet
is included in your Owner’s literature port-
folio. The INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide explains details about main-
taining and servicing your vehicle. Always
carry it with you when you take your vehicle
to an INFINITI retailer. The Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet contents provide complete
information about all warranties covering
this vehicle, the requirements to keep the
warranties in effect as well as the INFINITI
Roadside Assistance program.Additionally, a separate Customer Care
and Lemon Law Information Booklet will
explain how to resolve any concerns you
may have with your vehicle, as well as
clarify your rights under your state’s lemon
law.
In addition to factory-installed options, your ve-
hicle may also be equipped with additional ac-
cessories installed prior to delivery. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. It is important that you familiarize yourself
with all disclosures, warnings, cautions and in-
structions concerning proper use of such acces-
sories prior to operating the vehicle and/or ac-
cessory. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for details concerning the par-
ticular accessories with which your vehicle is
equipped.
Before driving your vehicle, please read this
Owner’s Manual carefully. This will ensure famil-
iarity with controls and maintenance require-
ments, assisting you in the safe operation of your
vehicle.

Seat belt hook
When the seat belt is not in use and when folding
down the rear seats, hook the rear seat belts on
the seat belt hooks.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERS
If, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap/shoulder belt
and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with
the installed seat belts is available for purchase.
The extender adds approximately 8 in (200 mm)
of length and may be used for either the driver or
front passenger seating position.Seat belt extenders are available for the:
● Driver and front passenger seating position
● 2nd and 3rd row seating position
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for assistance with purchasing an extender
if an extender is required.
WARNING
● Only INFINITI seat belt extenders, made
by the same company which made the
original equipment seat belts, should
be used with INFINITI seat belts.
● Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use could
result in serious personal injury in the
event of an accident.
● Never use seat belt extenders to install
child restraints. If the child restraint is
not secured properly, the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision
or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
● To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpet.
Then wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are completely
dry.
● If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt
guide of the seat belt anchors, the seat
belts may retract slowly. Wipe the shoulder
belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
● Periodically check to see that the seat
belt and the metal components, such as
buckles, tongues, retractors, flexible wires
and anchors, work properly. If loose parts,
deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-
sembly should be replaced.

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual. Many fac-
tors including tire inflation, alignment,
driving habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement indi-
cator for a certain driving distance doesnot mean your tires will last that long. Use

checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks
could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to a
collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
