INFINITI QX70 2016 Warranty Information Booklet

3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiply-
ing the percentage of the usable tread worn by the Retail-
er’s Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time
of the adjustment or the Continental/General brand current
published Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower. The
usable tread is the original tread down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining). The
Adjustment Base Price is intended to fairly represent a
Retailer’s Selling Price for the same or comparable tire.
4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE

SAFETY WARNING
Disregarding any of the safety precautions and in-
structions contained in the Owner’s Manual or the
Important Tire Safety Information in this booklet
may result in tire failure or explosion causing seri-
ous personal injury or death.
CONTINENTAL/GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY 37

Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to
improper maintenance or service factors. This could
create a risk of property damage and serious or fatal
injury. Disregarding any of the safety precautions and
instructions contained in this m anual may result in tire
failure or explosion caus ing serious personal injury or
death. For your safety, comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATION
Keep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on
the tire data placard. (See your Owner’s Manualfor loca-
tion.) These inflation pressures must be maintained as a
minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pres-
sure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES, IN-
CLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT LEAST
ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in im-
proper vehicle handling and may cause rapid and ir-
regular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle
control and serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation
pressures should be checked at least once a month and
always prior to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The
tires are cold when your vehicle has been driven less
than a mile at moderate speed after being stopped for
three or more hours.
CHECKING PRESS URE WHEN TIRES ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four
pounds per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recom-
mended cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pres-
sure when the tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi
If recommended pressure is: 30psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by the
next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire will
be underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check
pressures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT
INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS. For replacement
tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided by your
tire retailer. If not, refer to the vehicle decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewalls
and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire de-
struction and serious personal injury. Overinflating can
cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED
TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tires beyond the
load carrying limits molded into the sidewall of the tires
or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the
vehicle tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading
causes heat to build up which can lead to sudden tire
failure and serious personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS. Never op-
erate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or the
maximum speeds justified by the driving conditions.
Excessive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a
tire leading to possible f ailure and serious personal
injury.
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. How-
ever, at high speeds, ev en with the correct inflation
pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance of
causing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time avail-
able to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop. If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it
with your spare tire and see your tire retailer at once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is
rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairs
may cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating.
Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will cause
the tire to build up excessive heat which can cause tire
damage that could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air
loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal
limits and driving conditions.
SPEED SYMBOLS -are shown on the sidewall of some
tires. The following table shows the maximum speed
corresponding to the symbol.

M 81 130 N 87 140P 93 150
R 99 160
R 106 170
S 112 180 T 118 190

W 168 270 Y 186 300
V* 149 240

*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity
of greater than 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your tire
manufacturer for maximum speed ratings if your vehicle
capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use on cars with
maximum speed capabilities in excess of 149 mph
(240 km/h). Consult your tire manufacturer for maxi-
mum speed capabilities.
†Although a tire may be speed rated, we do not endorse
the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful
manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests
which relate to performance on the road, but are not
applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn
out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or re-
treaded. Furthermore, tire speed ratings do not imply that vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum speed
for which the tire is rated, particularly under adverse
road and weather conditions or if the vehicle has un-
usual characteristics. Most highway passenger tires that
do not have a speed symbol in the sidewall have a
maximum speed rating of 105 mph. Light truck highway
tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of
the tire have a maximum speed of 87 mph. Some light
truck tires may have higher maximum speeds; consult
your tire retailer. The speed and other ratings of re-
treaded tires are assigned by the retreader and voids the
original manufacturer’s ratings.
IMPORTANT:
In order to maintain the speed capability
of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed rat-
ings equal to or higher than those fitted as original
equipment (as indicated on the vehicle placard or Own-
er’s Manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted,
the speed capability of the vehicle will be lowered to the
maximum speed capability of the replacement tire as
indicated on the above table.
Remember...High speed driving can be dangerous and
may be damaging to your tires.
And...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation
pressure is especially important.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for their position
and assistance on the repair of speed-rated tires. When
you are replacing tires that have a speed rating, you must
replace with tires of the same or higher speed rating if the
speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.
VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAMAGED
TIRE OR WHEEL. Check your tires frequently for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags, cracks, penetrations
or excessive localized wear from hard braking. Also
check for abnormal tire wear, particularly on the edges
of the tire tread which may be caused by misalignment
or underinflation. Impacts can damage the inner por-
tion of the tire without being
visible onthe outside. If
damage can be seen on the tires or wheels, or if you
suspect that possible impact damage may have oc-
curred, replace with spare at once and have your tire
store or retailer inspect your tires immediately. Use of a
damaged tire could result in tire destruction. When in-
specting your tires, including the spare, check your air
pressures. If your pressure check indicates that one of
your tires has lost pressure of two pounds or more, look
for signs of penetrations, valve leakage, or wheel dam-
age that may account for the air loss.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high
speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden
stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor con-
dition, and off-road use. Roads with holes and rocks or
other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment
of your vehicle. When you drive on such roads, drive on
them carefully and slowly, and before driving again at
normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any
damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual
wear patterns, etc.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS): Tires contain
Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the grooves of the
tire tread which show up when only 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires
must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage are
dangerous.

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION139

HAZARDS
Objects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects arepotholes, glass,metal,
rocks, wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact
should prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can damage
or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle experiences
any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or noise and/or
you suspect that possible damage to the tires or vehicle
has occurred, DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR BRAKES! Rather
reduce your speed and drive with caution until you can
safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tires. If the tire
is underinflated or damaged, deflate, remove the tire and
rim assembly and replace it with your spare. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest
vehicle or tire retailer to have the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a tire your-
self. Tire changing can be dangerous and must be done
by professionally trained persons using proper tools
and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufactur-
ers Association (RMA). Follow these mounting recom-
mendations. Your tires should be mounted on wheels of
correct size and type and which are in good, clean con-
dition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire
damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign
materials. Have your retailer check the wheels before
mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims can
explode during mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If a
tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do not
remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be dam-
aged internal
ly (which is not extern ally visible) by being
dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are
mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed.
Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels de-
signed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels which have safety
humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps.
This will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard
against leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE RETAILER AT
ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do not warrant any inspec-
tion or repair process. The repair is entirely the responsi-
bility of the repairer.
Punctures in the tread of a passen-
ger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an inch (6mm) in
diameter can usually be repaired by following the Rub-
ber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA)Passenger and
Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the manufacturer
of your tires for its position and assistance as to the
acceptable location for a proper repair and the repair of
speed rated tires. Do not use plug repairs. They may
cause further damage to the tire. They are not always
air tight and the plug may fail. Do not exceed posted
speed limits on any repaired tire. Certain tire manufac-
turers speed ratings are voided if the tire is repaired. Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.
Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds
1/4 inch (6mm), the tire must be replaced. If any tire has
sustained a puncture, have the tire inspected internally
by a tire retailer for possible damage that may have
occurred.
Improper mounting and inflation procedures can cause
an explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially
trained persons should perform these tasks. Contact
your tire store or retailer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any c
ircumstance, introduce a
flammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
Wheel alignment and balancing are important for safety
and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your
tires are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are
wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect
excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of align-
ment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the
life of your tires, but adversely affect the handling char-
acteristics of your vehicle which could be dangerous. If
you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your align-
ment and balance checked immediately. Tires which
have been run underinflated will show more wear on the
shoulders than in the center of the tread.

40IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION1

HARD BRAKING
You must inspect your tires after any hard braking cir-
cumstances or after tires have slid on the pavement.
This can cause a flat spot in a section of the tire tread.
TIRE SPINNING
Never spin your tires above a speedometer reading of
35 mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle becomes stuck. The
centrifugal force generated by the free spinning
tire/wheel assembly may cau se a sudden tire explo-
sion, resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious per-
sonal injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near
or behind a tire spinning at high speed while attempting
to push a vehicle that is stuck. When in mud, sand,
snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not indulge in
excessive wheel spin. In such conditions, with auto-
matic tran smission vehicles , by accelerating the engine
excessively, it is possible to spin one of the drive tires
beyond its speed capability. This is also true when bal-
ancing a drive tire/wheel assembly using the engine of
the vehicle to spin the wheel.
TIRE TREAD
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread
reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires are manufactured
with tread wear indicators molded into the tire grooves
which indicate tread wearout. As tires approximate
2/32 inch (1.6 mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes
thinner and more vulnerable to the effects of road haz-
ards. Also, worn tires are more subject to hydroplaning,
which can cause loss of control. Therefore, visual tire
inspection becomes more crucial as the tires wear out.
WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by
trained personnel when 2/32nds of an inch tread depth
remains, as indicated by the tread wear indicators
molded into the tread grooves. In most states, it is
illegal to drive with less than 2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining.
TIRE MIXING
For best performance select tires similar in size and load
rating to the original equipment tires. It is recommended
that the same size and type of tire be used on all four
wheel positions. In certain tires, casing ply material and
ply construction may vary as indicated on the sidewall of
the tire. When changing or replacing tires, it is preferred
that all four tires are the same construction type (i.e., High
Performance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and construction
(Radial or Bias Ply). Before mixing tires of different types
on a vehicle in any configuration, be sure to check the
vehicle Owner’s Manual for its recommendations.
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer’s Associa-
tion (RMA) definition of mud and snow tires are marked
M/S, M+S, M&S. On such tires, this designation is
molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are
not recommended for mud and/or snow driving.
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires
equivalent in size and load rating to the original equip-
ment tires. Always fit performance snow tires in sets of
four (4) for optimum mud & snow traction and mainte-
nance of vehicle handling characteristics. If you do not,
it may adversely affect the safety and handling of your
vehicle. It is also important to check the vehicle Owner’s
Manual before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drive
vehicles as this may require special precautions. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on tire replacement precautions.
TIRE ROTATION
Tires on your Infiniti vehicle should be rotated every
7,500 miles or as irregular wear develops. If irregular
wear becomes apparent or if the wear rate on the tires is
perceptibly uneven, the tires should be rotated in such a
way to alleviate the problem. Check your vehicle for any
mechanical problems and correct if necessary. Any rota-
tion pattern or procedure may be followed including
those indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Some tires have
arrows on the sidewall showing the direction in which
the tire should turn. When rotating this type of tire, care
must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction
as indicated by the arrows.
Some vehicles have different
tire sizes specified for front and rear axles. Tires on these
vehicles should not be rotated side to side (unless they
are non-directional) . Where a temporary type spare tire
is available, it should not be included in the tire rotation
schedule. Such tires are intended for temporary use
only.
REPLACING TWO TIRES
If your vehicle was originally equipped with four tires
that were the same size and you are only replacing two
of the four tires, install the new tires on the rear axle.
Placing new tires on the front axle may cause loss of
vehicle control in some driving conditions and cause an
accident and personal injury.
(Continued on next page)
IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION141

TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire
retailer for advice concerning the correct size of tire and
pressure. Tire size and pressure will depend on the type
and size of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case
must the maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire
load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and your
Owner’s Manual for further recommendations on trailer
towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire dam-
age, which can result in an accident. Tires which be-
come unserviceable due to alterations such as truing,
whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liq-
uids, may be excluded from warranty coverage. Consult
your tire warranty.
HIGH PRESS URE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Infiniti ve-
hicle is designed for temporary use only and
must not be used continually as a regular tire.
The standard tire should be repaired and/or
replaced as soon as possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as
potholes, g lass,metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-speed-rated temporary spare tires. 4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife
which can vary depending on road conditions
and your driving habits. The spare tire should
be returned to the trunk as soon as the stan-
dard tire can be repaired or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was spe- cifically designed for your car, it should not be
used on any other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare. This could cause damage to your
vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2) even when
not in use.
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard
tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on the
high-pressure spare tire rim which was origi-
nally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type spare
tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a tem- porary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tem-
porary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle Own-
er’s Manual instructions.
TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so
that there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool
place away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot
pipes and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on
which tires are stored are clean and free from grease,
gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate
the rubber. (Tires exposed to these materials during
storage or driving could be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and Possible Accident:● Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
● Do not underinflate/overinflate.
● Do not overload.
● Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
● Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or
edges of pavement.
● Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
● If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare
and see the tire manufacturer’s retailer or your
Infiniti retailer .
