O Do not use abrasive cleaners when
washing the wheels.
O Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss
of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
O INFINITI recommends that the road
wheels be waxed to protect against
road salt in areas where it is used
during winter.
Spare tire (TEMPORARY USE ONLY
spare tire (T-type)) Observe the following precautions if the
T-type spare tire must be used, otherwise
your vehicle could be damaged or in-
volved in an accident.
CAUTIONO The T-type spare tire should be used only
for an emergency. It should be replaced by
a standard tire at the first opportunity.
O Drive carefully while the T-type spare tire
is installed.
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking
while driving. O Periodically check the T-type spare tire
inflation pressure, and always keep it at
60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar).
O With the T-type spare tire installed, do
not drive your vehicle at speeds faster
than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
O When driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, the T-type spare tire should
be used on the front wheel and the origi-
nal tire used on the rear wheels (drive
wheels). Use tire chains only on the rear
two original tires (Sedan).
O
Tire tread of the T-type spare tire will wear
at a faster rate than the original tire. Re-
place the T-type spare tire as soon as the
tread wear indicators appear.
O Do not use the T-type spare tire on other
vehicles.
O Do not use more than one T-type spare
tire at the same time.
O Do not tow a trailer while the T-type
spare tire is installed. CAUTION O Do not use tire chains on a T-type spare
tire. Tire chains will not fit properly on
the T-type spare tire and may cause
damage to the vehicle.
O Because the T-type spare tire is smaller
than the original tire, ground clearance
is reduced. To avoid damage to the ve-
hicle do not drive over obstacles. Also do
not drive the vehicle through an auto-
matic car wash since it may get caught.
