5. As soon as the engine has cooled to its normal operating temperature, visually
inspect the drive belts for damage or looseness. A loose belt reduces water
pump efficiency.


WARNING- Be careful to keep your hands, hair, jewelry, and clothing clear of the
running drive belt and other moving parts when inspecting the engine and radiator.
Also check to see if the cooling fan is running, and inspect the water pump, radiator,
and radiator hoses for leaks. Keep in mind, too, that if your vehicle is equipped with
an electric fan motor, it may start without warning any time the coolant temperature
is high. If you find leaking coolant, a loose or missing drive belt, or an inoperable fan,
turn off the engine immediately.

6. If no leaks are apparent and all other components appear to be operating
properly with the engine cooled to its normal operating temperature; check the
coolant level in the reservoir tank with the engine running. Add coolant to the
reservoir tank if needed. At this point, if repairs are required, go to the nearest
INFINITI retailer. See the IN CASE OF EMERGENCY section of your vehicle owner’s
manual for additional information on overheating.

NOTE – All INFINITI vehicles have an engine protection mode which helps reduce the
chance of engine damage if the engine coolant reaches a specified temperature.

NOTES













Passenger Vehicles – INFINITI cautions that you do not tow a trailer with the Q50, or Q60
vehicles.


1. Maximum Trailer Weight values are calculated assuming a base
vehicle with driver and any options required, to achieve the
rating. Additional passengers, cargo and/or optional equipment
will add weight to the vehicle and reduce your vehicle’s
maximum towing capacity and trailer tongue load.

2. In general, a weight-distributing hitch system (Class IV) should be
used when towing over 5,000 lbs.

3. Most states require a separate braking system on trailers with a
loaded weight above a specific amount. Check local ordinances.
7-pin connector trailer wire harnesses are required for use with
trailer brakes (available separately).

At INFINITI, we back everything we build. So we are proud that every INFINITI is
protected by some of the best New Vehicle Limited Warranties, including
4-year/60,000-mile (whichever comes first) Basic coverage. All 2021 models also
feature 6-years/70,000-mile (whichever comes first) Powertrain coverage.*

For additional peace of mind, the Elite INFINITI Extended Protection Plan provides you
with quality long-term mechanical protection for 8 years/120,000 miles (measured from
in service date and zero miles, whichever comes first)”— long past your vehicle’s Basic
and Powertrain Limited Warranty. With the extra coverage, if a covered component
fails during the term of the plan, INFINITI pays… not you.** Plus, the Elite INFINITI
Extended Protection Plan includes extensive Roadside Assistance benefits and car
rental coverage.

All of this makes the Elite INFINITI Extended Protection Plan a truly comprehensive
package, offering INFINITI owners exceptional value and peace of mind.
Coverage is
available throughout the United States. Repair work will be done at authorized INFINITI
retailers by INFINITI-trained technicians utilizing Genuine INFINITI Parts.

For more information about the Elite INFINITI Extended Protection Plan, contact your
participating INFINITI retailer or call 1-800-662-6200.

The quality of Genuine INFINITI Parts and Accessories is backed by the integrity of a
Genuine INFINITI Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty. If purchased
within the Basic coverage period of 4 years/60,000 miles (whichever comes first),
Genuine INFINITI Parts and Accessories are covered by the remaining period of the
warranty. If the remaining period is less than 12 months/12,000 miles (or if the vehicle
warranty has expired), then Genuine INFINITI Parts and Accessories except for
replacement audio components are covered by their own 12-month/12,000-mile from
the date of installation or purchase (whichever comes first). See your INFINITI Warranty
Information Booklet or ask your INFINITI retailer for specific details.
