WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an electric
shock, never attempt to modify or disas-
semble. Always have your xenon headlights
replaced at an INFINITI retailer. For addi-
tional information, see “ Headlight and turn
signal switch ” (P.2-34).
Use the same number and wattage shown
in the following chart as originally in-
stalled.
If replacement is required, see an INFINITI
retailer.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of
the exterior lights in the rain or in a car
wash. A temperature difference between
the inside and the outside of the lens
causes the fog. This is not a malfunction. If
large drops of water collect inside the lens,
contact an INFINITI retailer. EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GUID-BDE3C310-75C1-4F4D-9E48-5E09104465DA

If you have a flat tire, see “ Flat tire ” (P.6-

TIRE PRESSURE GUID-059CBC2D-BB1C-4DE2-B26E-A89198E003F1
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) GUID-54149EBD-6C2B-4EEC-AE1A-FDADBBA021B3
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It
monitors tire pressure of all tires except
the spare. When the low tire pressure
warning light is lit and the CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning appears on the dot
matrix liquid crystal display, one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not
detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving).
For more details, see “ Low tire pressure
warning light ” (P.2-15), “ Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.5-4) and
“ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ”
(P.6-2).
Tire inflation pressure GUID-FDC2587E-609D-4595-9387-574BE1BDEAC6
Check the pressure of the tires
(including the spare) often and al- ways prior to long distance trips. The
recommended tire pressure specifi-
cations are shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“ Cold Tire Pressure ” heading. The
Tire and Loading Information label is
affixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly because: .
Most tires naturally lose air over
time. .
Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other
objects or if the vehicle strikes a
curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle
has been parked for 3 or more hours,
or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling. WARNING .
Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident. .
The Gross Vehicle Weight rating
(GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.
S./C.M.V.S.S. label. The vehicle
weight capacity is indicated on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. Do not load your vehicle
beyond this capacity. Overloading
your vehicle may result in reduced
tire life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire failure,
or unfavorable handling character-
istics and could also lead to a
serious accident. Loading beyond
the specified capacity may also
result in failure of other vehicle
components. .
Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use a tire pressure gauge
to ensure that the tire pressures
Maintenance and do-it-yourself
8-33WHEELS AND TIRES

Black plate (448,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]8-42 Maintenance and do-it-yourself. 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 personal injury.
. Improper service of the spare tire
may result in serious personal
injury. If it is necessary to repair
the spare tire, contact an INFINITI
retailer.
. For additional information regard-
ing tires, refer to “ Important Tire
Safety Information ” (US) or “ Tire
Safety Information ” (Canada) in
the Warranty Information Booklet. Replacing wheels and tires GUID-4EF95767-87A1-46D1-823F-01023BAE60AA
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carry-
ing capacity as originally equipped. (See
“ Specifications ” (P.9-8) for recommended
types and sizes of tires and wheels.)
WARNING . The use of tires other than those
recommended or the mixed use of tires
of different brands, construction (bias,
bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns
can adversely affect the ride, braking,
handling, ground clearance, body-to-tire
clearance, tire chain clearance, speed-
ometer calibration, headlight aim and
bumper height. Some of these effects
may lead to accidents and could result in
serious personal injury.
. If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with wheels
which have the same off-set dimension.
Wheels of a different off-set could cause
premature tire wear, degrade vehicle
handling characteristics and/or interfer-
ence with the brake discs/drums. Such
interference can lead to decreased brak- ing efficiency and/or early brake pad/
shoe wear. See “ Wheels and tires ” (P.9-
9) 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 remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement 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 struc-
tural damage and could fail without
warning.
. The use of retread tire is not recom-
mended.
. For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “ Important Tire Safety
Information ” (US) or “ Tire Safety Infor-
mation ” (Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.
