●The original tires have built-in tread
wear indicators. When wear indicators
are visible, the tire(s) should be
replaced.
●Tires degrade with age and use. Have
tires, including the spare, over 6 years
old checked by a qualified technician,
because some tire damage may not be
obvious. Replace the tires as necessary
to prevent tire failure and possible per-
sonal injury.
●Improper service of the spare tire may
result in serious personal injury. If it is
necessary to repair the spare tire, con-
tact an INFINITI retailer.
●For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread
design, speed rating and load carrying capacity as originally equipped. (See “SPECIFICATIONS”
in the “9. Technical and consumer information”
section for recommended types and sizes of
tires and wheels.)
WARNING
●
The use of tires other than those recom-
mended or the mixed use of tires of different
brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or ra-
dial), or tread patterns can adversely affect
the ride, braking, handling, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain
clearance, speedometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height. Some of these
effects may lead to accidents and could re-
sult in serious personal injury.
●
If the wheels are changed for any reason, al-
ways replace with wheels which have the
same off-set dimension. Wheels of a different
off-set could cause premature tire wear, de-
grade vehicle handling characteristics and/or
interference with the brake discs/drums. Such
interference can lead to decreased braking ef-
ficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.
See “WHEELS AND TIRES” in the “9. Technical
and consumer information” section of this
manual for wheel off-set dimensions.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will re-
main on after 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI
retailer as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
● Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
● Do not install a damaged or deformed wheel
or tire even if it has been repaired. Such
wheels or tires could have structural damage
and could fail without warning.
● The use of retread tire is not recommended.
● For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet.

*4: 18-in tire models
*5: 19-in tire models If you plan to travel in another country,
you
should first find out if the fuel available is
suitable for your vehicle’s engine.
Using fuel with too low an octane rating may
cause engine damage. All gasoline vehicles
must be operated with unleaded gasoline.
Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle to areas
where appropriate fuel is not available.
When transferring the registration of your ve-
hicle to another country, state, province or dis-
trict, it may be necessary to modify the vehicle
to meet local laws and regulations.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards vary
according to the country, state, province or
district; therefore, vehicle specifications may
differ.
When any vehicle is to be taken into another
country, state, province or district and regis-
tered, its modifications, transportation, and reg-
istration are the responsibility of the user.
INFINITI is not responsible for any inconvenience
that may result.
