BATTERY
Do-it-yourself8-13

• If the battery is labeled “do not open” it ismaintenance free and battery fluid should
not be checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer or a qualified spe-
cialist workshop to confirm the battery’s
performance.
• Keep the battery surface clean and dry. Clean the battery with a solution of baking
soda and water.
• Make certain the terminal connections are clean and securely tightened.
• If the vehicle is not to be used for 30 days or longer, disconnect the negative (-) bat-
tery terminal cable to prevent discharge.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
WARNING
• Do not expose the battery to flames, an
electrical spark or a cigarette. Hydrogen
gas generated by the battery is explo-
sive. Explosive gases can cause blindness
or injury. Do not allow battery fluid to
contact your skin, eyes, fabrics or
painted surfaces. Sulfuric acid can cause
blindness or injury. After touching a bat-
tery or battery cap, do not touch or rub
your eyes. Thoroughly wash your hands.
If the acid contacts your eyes, skin or
clothing, immediately flush with water
for at least 15 minutes and seek medical
attention.
• When working on or near a battery, al-
ways wear suitable eye protection and
remove all jewelry.
• Battery posts, terminals and related ac-
cessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling.
• Keep battery out of the reach of children.
• Do not tip the battery.
NOTE:
Do not try to open the top of the battery.
This battery is not equipped with removable
vent caps.
JUMP STARTING
If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump start-
ing” (P. 6-12). If the engine does not start by
jump starting, the battery may have to be
replaced. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.

CAUTION
• Do not ground accessories directly to the
battery terminal. Doing so will bypass
the variable voltage control system and
the vehicle battery may not charge
completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the en-
gine running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely drained the
transmission will not manually shift to other
positions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a variable volt-
age control system. This system measures
the amount of electrical discharge from the
battery and controls voltage generated by
the generator.
The current sensor
OAis located near the
battery along the negative battery cable. If
you add electrical accessories to your vehicle,
be sure to ground them to a suitable body
ground such as the frame or engine block
area.
1. Drive belt automatic tensioner pulley
2. Generator pulley
3. Air conditioner compressor pulley
4. Crankshaft pulley
WARNING
Be sure the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF or LOCK position before servicing
drive belt. The engine could rotate
unexpectedly.

INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
NOTE:
Type A Intelligent Key battery removal pro-
cedure is shown, Type B is similar.
Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as
follows:
1. Remove the mechanical key from the In- telligent Key.
2. Insert a small flathead screwdriver
OAinto
the slit
OBof the corner and twist it to

3. Replace the battery with a new one.Recommended battery: CR2032 or
equivalent.
• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could
cause a malfunction.
• Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points
will seriously deplete the storage
capacity.
• Make sure that the + side faces the bot- tom of the lower part.
4. Close the lid securely as illustrated with
OCandOD.
5. Operate the buttons to check the operation.
If you need assistance with replacement, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.

Parking brake:Check the parking brake op-
eration regularly. The vehicle should be se-
curely held on a fairly steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking brake
needs adjustment, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat
belt system (for example, buckles, anchors,
adjusters and retractors) operate properly
and smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying,
wear or damage.
Seats: Check seat position controls such as
seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to en-
sure they operate smoothly and all latches
lock securely in every position. Check that the
head restraints/headrests move up and
down smoothly and the locks (if so equipped)
hold securely in all latched positions.
Steering wheel: Check for changes in the
steering system, such as excessive free play,
hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes: Make sure all
warning lights and chimes are operating
properly.
Windshield defroster: Check that the air
comes out of the defroster outlets properly
and in sufficient quantity when operating the
heater or air conditioner. Windshield wiper and washer*:
Check that
the wipers and washer operate properly and
that the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery (for maintenance free batteries)*:
This vehicle is equipped with a sealed main-
tenance free battery. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.).
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake
fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines
on the reservoir. Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belt*: Make sure the drive belt is
not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine. Wait more than 15 minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Exhaust system: Make sure there are no
loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound
of the exhaust seems unusual or there is a
smell of exhaust fumes, immediately have the
exhaust system inspected. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. For additional information, see “Ex-
haust gas (carbon monoxide)” (P. 5-4).
Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for fuel,
oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping
from the air conditioner after use is normal. If
you should notice any leaks or if fuel 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 connections.
