Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.

When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.

Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.

To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.

Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.

Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.

Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.

Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.

Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recom-
mended special tools where specified for safe and efficient ser-
vice repairs.

When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.

Tow Truck TowingAAS000EH
CAUTION:

All applicable state or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.

It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during
towing operation. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.

Always attach safety chains before towing.

When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.

Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on
the ground. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
2WD MODELS
INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the ground or that a dolly be
used as illustrated.
CAUTION:

Never tow automatic transmission models with the rear wheels on the ground or four wheels on
the ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the trans-
mission.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the front wheels raised, always use towing dollies under
the rear wheels.

When towing rear wheel drive models with the front wheels on the ground or on towing dollies:
–Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead posi-
tion with a rope or similar device.Never secure the steering wheel by turning the ignition key to the
LOCK position. This may damage the steering lock mechanism.
–Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position.

When the battery of vehicle equipped with the Intelligent Key system is discharged, your vehicle
should be towed with the front wheels on towing dollies or place the vehicle on a flat bed truck.
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the propeller shaft before towing to prevent dam-
age to the transmission.

Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
To tow a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission, an appropriate vehicle dolly MUST be placed
under the towed vehicle's drive wheels. Always follow the dolly manufacture's recommendations when using
their product.
If the vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc., use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control System.
2. Make sure the area in front and behind the vehicle is clear of obstructions.
3. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear an area around the front tires.
4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and backward. Shift back and forth between R (reverse) and D (drive).
Apply the accelerator as little as possible to maintain the rocking motion.
Release the accelerator pedal before shifting between R and D.
Do not spin the tires above 35 mph (55 km/h).
5. If the vehicle can not be freed after a few tries, contact a professional towing service to remove the vehi- cle.
