AUDIO OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
Cassette player O To maintain good quality sound,
INFINITI recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
O Cassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and away
from direct sunlight, heat, dust, mois-
ture and magnetic sources.
O Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.
O Do not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player.
O If a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly around the
hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.
O Over a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may col-
lect a tape coating residue as the tape is
played. This residue accumulation can
cause weak or wavering sound, and
should be removed periodically with a
head cleaning tape. If the residue is not
removed periodically, the player may
need to be disassembled for cleaning.
Compact Disc (CD) player O During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the hu-
midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and
dehumidify or ventilate the player com-
pletely.
O The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
O The CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the compartment temperature
is extremely high. Decrease the tem-
perature before use. O Only use high quality 4.7 inches (12 cm)
round discs that have the ªCOMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIOº logo on the disc
or packaging.
O Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight. SAA0480

INFINITI G35 2003 Owners Manual WARNINGO Do not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
They could accidentally injure them-

sunny

WARNINGO Do not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
O Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked with the
trunk closed when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)
WARNINGDo not breathe exhaust gases; they con- tain colorless and odorless carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or death.
O If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
O Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
O Do not park the vehicle with the en-
gine running for any extended length
of time.
O Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing, otherwise exhaust gases could
be drawn into the passenger com-
partment. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, follow these precau-
tions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the air recirculation switch
OFF and the fan control at 4 (high)
to circulate the air.
O If electrical wiring or other cable con- nections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the trunk lid or
the body, follow the manufacturer's
recommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
O If a special body or other equipment
is added for recreational or other us-
age, follow the manufacturer's rec-
ommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appli-
ances such as stoves, refrigerator,
heaters, etc. may also generate car-
bon monoxide.)
O The exhaust system and body should
be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust system.PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING

condition; check for improper tongue load,

sible causes of either condition.
O Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shifts while driving.
O Be certain your rear view mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not,
install any mirrors required for towing be-
fore driving the vehicle.
Trailer towing tips In order to gain skill and an understanding of
the vehicle's behavior, you should practice
turning, stopping and backing up in an area
which is free from traffic. Steering stability, and
braking performance will be somewhat differ-
ent than under normal driving conditions.
O Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
O Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
O Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
O Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed.
O Always block the wheels on both vehicle
and trailer when parking. Parking on a
slope is not recommended; however, if you
must do so, and if your vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission, first apply the
parking brake and block the wheels, and
then move the transmission selector lever
into the P (Park) position. If you move the
selector lever to the P (Park) position be-
fore blocking the wheels and applying the
parking brake, the transmission may be
damaged.
O When going down a hill, shift into a lower
gear and use the engine braking effect.
When ascending on a long grade, down-
shift the transmission to a lower gear and
reduce speed to reduce chances of engine
overloading and/or overheating.
O If the engine coolant rises to an extremely
high temperature when the air conditioning
system is on, turn off the air conditioner.
Coolant heat can be additionally vented by
opening the windows, switching the fan
control to high and setting the temperature
control to the HOT position.
O Trailer towing consumes more fuel than
normal circumstances.
O Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 miles
(800 km).
O Have your vehicle serviced more often than
at intervals specified in the recommended
maintenance schedule. O When making a turn, your trailer wheels will
be closer to the inside of the turn than your
vehicle wheels. To compensate for this,
make a larger than normal turning radius
during the turn.
O Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely
affect vehicle/trailer handling, possibly
causing vehicle sway. When being passed
by larger vehicles, be prepared for possible
changes in crosswinds that could affect
vehicle handling. If swaying does occur,
firmly grip the steering wheel, steer straight
ahead, and immediately (but gradually) re-
duce vehicle speed. This combination will
help stabilize the vehicle. Never increase
speed.
O Be careful when passing other vehicles.
Passing while towing a trailer requires con-
siderably more distance than normal pass-
ing. Remember the length of the trailer
must also pass the other vehicle before you
can safely change lanes.
O To maintain engine braking efficiency and
electrical charging performance, do not use
sixth gear (manual transmission) or fifth
position (automatic transmission).
O Avoid holding the brake pedal down too
long or too frequently such as on long
down-hill sections of road. This could cause
