2006 INFINITI G35 fuel pressure

CAUTIONDuring the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and ensure
the future reliability and economy of your
new vehicle. Failure to follow these recom-
mendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
O Avoid driving for long periods at con-
stant speed, either fast or slow. Do
not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
O Do not accelerate at full throttle in any
gear.
O Avoid quick starts.
O Avoid hard braking as much as pos-
sible.
O Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy
load for the first 500 miles (800 km). O Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Main-
tain cruising speeds with a constant
accelerator position.
O Drive at moderate speeds on the high-
way. Driving at high speed will lower
fuel economy.
O Avoid unnecessary stopping and brak-
ing. Maintain a safe distance behind
other vehicles.
O Use a proper gear range which suits
road conditions. On level roads, shift
into high gear as soon as possible.
O Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
O Keep your engine tuned up.
O Follow the recommended periodic
maintenance schedule.
O Keep the tires inflated at the correct
pressure. Low pressure will increase
tire wear and waste fuel.
O Keep the front wheels in correct align-
ment. Improper alignment will cause
not only tire wear but also lower fuel
economy.
O Air conditioner operation lowers fuel
economy. Use the air conditioner only
when necessary. O When cruising at highway speeds, it is
more economical to use the air condi-
tioner and leave the windows closed
to reduce drag.

such as rings, watches, etc. before work-
ing on your vehicle.
O Always wear eye protection whenever
you work on your vehicle.
O If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases to
escape.
O Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
O Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from the fuel tank and bat-
tery.
O On gasoline engine models with the Mul-
tiport Fuel Injection (MFI) System, the
fuel filter or fuel lines should be serviced
by an INFINITI dealer because the fuel
lines are under high pressure even when
the engine is off. CAUTION O Do not work under the hood while the en-
gine is hot. Turn the engine off and wait
until it cools down.
O Never connect or disconnect the battery
or any transistorized component while
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
O Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
ness connector disconnected while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
O Avoid contact with used engine oil and
coolant. Improperly disposed engine oil,
engine coolant and/or other vehicle
fluids can damage the environment. Al-
ways conform to local regulations for
disposal of vehicle fluid.
This ª8. Maintenance and do-it-yourselfº
section gives instructions regarding only
those items which are relatively easy for
an owner to perform. A genuine INFINITI Service Manual is also
available. See ªOwner's Manual/Service
Manual order informationº in the ª9.
Technical and consumer informationº sec-
tion.
You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in oper-
ating difficulties or excessive emissions,
and could affect your warranty coverage.
If in doubt about any servicing, have it
done by an INFINITI dealer.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION:
Sedan models Use unleaded regular gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock
Index) number (Research octane number
91).
For improved vehicle performance,
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 91 AKI number (Research octane
number 96).
Coupe models Use unleaded premium gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane
number 96).
If premium gasoline is not available, un-
leaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 AKI number (Research octane
number 91) may be temporarily used, but
only under the following precautions:
O Have the fuel tank filled only partially
with unleaded regular gasoline, and
fill up with unleaded premium gaso-
line as soon as possible.
O Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration. However, for maximum vehicle perfor-
mance, the use of unleaded premium gaso-
line is recommended.
CAUTION O Using a fuel other than that specified
could adversely affect the emission con-
trol system, and may also affect the war-
ranty coverage.
O Under no circumstances should a leaded
gasoline be used, because this will dam-
age the three-way catalyst.
O Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed to run on E-85
fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel
system components and is not covered
by the INFINITI vehicle limited warranty.
For additional information, see ªCapaci-
ties and recommended fuel/lubricantsº in
the ª9. Technical and consumer informa-
tionº section.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION: O API Certification Mark O API grade SG/SH, Energy Conserving I
& II or API grade SJ or SL, Energy Con-
serving
O ILSAC grade GF-I, GF-II & GF-III
O SAE 5W-30 viscosity oil is preferred for
all ambient temperatures. SAE 10W-30
viscosity oil may be used for ambient
temperatures above 0ÉF (þ18ÉC).
See ªCapacities and recommended fuel/
lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical and con-
sumer informationº section for engine oil
and oil filter recommendation.
COLD TIRE PRESSURES: See Tire and Loading Information label af-
fixed to the inside of the driver side
center pillar.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
PROCEDURES RECOMMENDATION: During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of
vehicle use, follow the recommendations
outlined in the ªBreak-in scheduleº Infor-
mation found in the ª5. Starting and driv-
ingº section of this Owner's Manual.
Follow these recommendations for the fu-
ture reliability and economy of your new
vehicle.GAS STATION INFORMATION
