2014 INFINITI CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES111

DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE OR TIRES
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to determine the
load limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on
your tires and other critical vehicle components. Over-
loading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may causetire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation orblowout.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and
remember that optimum rim width is important for
proper tire load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls
of P-Metric & European Metric tires is reduced by 10%
when used on a light truck, utility vehicle or trailer.
Never fit P-Metric or European Metric tires to light trucks
that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck
in snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces gener-
ated by a free-spinningtire/wheel assembly may cause
sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage
and/or serious personal injury to you or a bystander.
Never exceed 35 mph/55 km/h, as indicated on your
speedometer. Use a gentle backward and forward rock-
ing motion to free your vehicle for continued driving.
Never stand near or behind a tire spinning at high
speeds. For example, while attempting to push a vehicle
that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin balance ma-
chine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEAR
Always remove tires from service when they reach two
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32) remaining tread depth.
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32) level. Many wet
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more suscep-
tible to penetrations.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for
signs of damage and their general condition is impor-
tant for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire
Dealer inspect them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks,
knots, bulges or air loss always require tire removal and
expert inspection. Never perform a temporary repair or
use an inner tube as a substitute for a proper repair.
Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR NOTE:
Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant any inspection or
repair process. The repairis entirely the responsibility of
the repairer and should be made in accordance with
established Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
procedures.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built,
and tested to the high engineering standards set by
North America’s leading car manufacturers and to
Goodyear and Dunlop’s own high standards of quality
control. It is designed to take up a minimum of storage
space and, at the same time, fulfill the function of a
spare tire when needed. The spare is kept in its storage
space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it is always
ready for use, the air pressure should be checked on a
regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in
combination with the original tires on your vehicle. You
can expect a tire tread life of up to 3,000 miles
(4,800 kilometers), depending on road conditions and
your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return the
spare to the storage area as soon as it is convenient to
have the standard tire repaired or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a
standard tire soit’s easier to handle. It also helps re-
duce the total car weight which contributes to fuel
economy.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary)
Spare are specifically designed for use with high pres-
sure spares and should never be used with any other
type tire.

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 cause 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 transmission 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 recom-
mended that the same size and type of tire be used on
all four wheel positions. In certain tires, casing ply ma-
terial 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 recom-
mendations.
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 thesafety and handling of your
vehicle. It is also important to check the vehicle Owner’s
Manual before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drivevehicles 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.
