4. R: The ªRº stands for radial.
5. Two-digit number (15): This number
is the wheel or rim diameter in
inches.
6. Two- or three-digit number (95): This
number is the tire's load index. It is
a measurement of how much weight
each tire can support. You may not
find this information on all tires be-
cause it is not required by law.
7. H: Tire speed rating. You should not
drive the vehicle faster than the tire
speed rating.

TIN (Tire Identification Number) for a
new tire (example: DOT XX XX XXX
XXXX)
1. DOT: Abbreviation for the ªDepart-
ment of Transportationº. The
symbol can be placed above,
below or to the left or right of
the Tire Identification Number.
2. Two-digit code: Manufacturer's iden-
tification mark
3. Two-digit code: Tire size 4. Three-digit code: Tire type code (Op-
tional)
5. Three-digit code: Date of Manufac-
ture
6. Four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For ex-
ample, the numbers 3103 mean the
31st week of 2003. If these numbers
are missing, then look on the other
sidewall of the tire.
q 3
Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of
rubber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate
the materials in the tire, which in-
clude steel, nylon, polyester, and
others.
q 4

sure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the
maximum permissible inflation pres-
sure. SDI1607

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Sedan Ð Automatic transmission
models Use unleaded regular gasoline with an oc-
tane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock In-
dex) 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).
Sedan Ð Manual transmission
and 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.
Gasoline specifications INFINITI recommends using gasoline that
meets the World-Wide Fuel Charter
(WWFC) specifications where it is avail- able. Many of the automobile manufactur-
ers developed this specification to im-
prove emission control system and ve-
hicle performance. Ask your service
station manager if the gasoline meets the
WWFC specifications.
Reformulated gasoline Some fuel suppliers are now producing
reformulated gasolines. These gasolines
are specially designed to reduce vehicle
emissions. INFINITI supports efforts to-
wards cleaner air and suggests that you
use reformulated gasoline when avail-
able.
Gasoline containing oxygenates Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline contain-
ing oxygenates such as ethanol, MTBE
and methanol with or without advertising
their presence. INFINITI does not recom-
mend the use of fuels of which the oxy-
genate content and the fuel compatibility
for your INFINITI cannot be readily deter-
mined. If in doubt, ask your service sta-
tion manager.
If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline,
please take the following precautions as
the usage of such fuels may cause vehicle
