SPECIFICATIONS
9-6Technical and consumer information

When planning to drive your INFINITI ve-
hicle in another country,you should first find
out if the fuel available is suitable for your
vehicle's engine.
Using fuel with an octane rating that is too
low may cause engine damage. All gasoline
vehicles must be operated with unleaded
gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle
to areas where appropriate fuel is not avail-
able.
When transferring the registration of your
vehicle to another country, state, province
or district, it may be necessary to modify the
vehicle to meet local laws and regulations.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards vary
according to the country, state, province or
district; therefore, vehicle specifications may
differ.
When any vehicle is to be taken into another
country, state, province or district and reg-
istered, its modifications, transportation,
and registration are the responsibility of the
user. INFINITI is not responsible for any in-
convenience that may result.
