2013 INFINITI FX maintenance

WHAT NISSAN WILL DO
Warranty repairs will be made at no charge for parts
and/or labor, including diagnosis and tax. Any needed
parts replacement will be made using new or remanu-
factured parts.
OTHER WARRANTY TERMS
PERFORMANCE WARRANTY CLAIMS PROCEDURE
You may make a claim under the Performance Warranty
immediately after the failure of a “smog check” test. You
must provide proof of this failure when making your
claim in order to avoid additional “smog check” test
charges.
You will be told whether Nissan will honor your claim
within 30 days of the date you make the claim, unless a
shorter time period is required by law. If your claim is
denied, Nissan will notify you in writing of the reason. If
we do not notify you within this time period, we will
repair your vehicle under this warranty at no cost to you.
The time period for notification will not apply if you
request a delay or a delay is caused by events not under
the control of Infiniti retailers.
No claim will be denied under the Performance Warranty
because you use a certified part for maintenance or
repair.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
Important information concerning maintenance service
and replacement parts is on page 14 of this booklet. No
warranty claim will be denied solely because a non-
Nissan part was used for maintenance or repair. CALIFORNIA VEHICLE INSPECTION PROGRAM
Under this program, if your vehicle fails a “smog check”
test, you may choose to have diagnosis of the failure
and repairs made at an Infiniti retailer or at another
service facility. If the inspection failure is the result of a
condition covered by these warranties, you must take
your vehicle to an Infiniti retailer for warranty repairs.
This includes parts, labor and diagnosis. You must pay
for diagnostic costs if performed at another service fa-
cility except in the case of emergency repairs as outlined
below.
You must pay for all diagnostic and repair costs of an
inspection failure as required
by law if the failure was
caused by conditions not covered by these warranties.
If the failure is the result of a combination of conditions,
you must pay for only the diagnostic and repair costs
related to items not covered by these warranties.
After the 4 years/60,000 mile performance warranty has
passed, a “smog check” test failure due to a defect in a
part which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles is
covered.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
In case of an emergency, when an authorized Infiniti
retailer is not reasonably available, warranty repairs
may be performed at any service facility or by the owner
using any replacement parts. Infiniti will reimburse you
for such repairs, including d iagnosis, up to the amount
of Infiniti’s suggested retail price for parts and labor
charges based on Infiniti’s recommended time allow-
ance for the warranty repair and the geographically ap-
propriate hourly labor rate. A part not being available or
a repair not being complete within 30 days also consti-
tutes an emergency. You must take the replaced part and paid receipts to an authorized Infiniti retailer for
repayment in such emergency situations.
MAINTENANCE RECORDS
Receipts covering the performance of regular mainte-
nance are not required but should be kept in the event
questions arise concerning maintenance. The receipts
should be transferred to subsequent owners.

14 2013 INFINITI CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES1

RECOMMENDATION FOR MAINTENANCE
SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
To assure best results and to maintain the original qual-
ity built into the emission control systems, it is recom-
mended that parts and accessories supplied by Nissan
for use on Infiniti vehicles be used when servicing or
repairing the systems.
THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT DEPENDENT
UPON THE USE OF ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF REPLACE-
MENT PARTS AND THE OWNER MAY ELECT TO USE NON-
GENUINE NISSAN PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT PUR-
POSES.
The use of replacement parts which are not equivalent
to genuine Nissan parts may reduce the effectiveness of
the emission control system.
Therefore, if it becomes necessary to use other than
genuine Nissan parts, the owner should assure himself
that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent in quality to genuine Nissan parts.
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EMIS-
SION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PER-
FORMED BY ANY AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT
OR INDIVIDUAL USING ANY EQUIVALENT REPLACE-
MENT PART.
HOWEVER, UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY LAW,
WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AU-
THORIZED INFINITI RETAILER.
The emission standards may be satisfied by having the
vehicle inspected periodically and by following the re-
quirements outlined in theEmission Control System
Maintenance Schedules in your Owner’s Manual.

LIMITED WARRANTY ON GENUINE NISSAN REPLACEMENT PARTS AND GENUINE INFINITI ACCESSORIES117

WHAT IS COVERED?
Nissan2warrants your Genuine Infiniti Replacement
Battery as described below except as stated under
“What is not covered?”
This warranty covers defects in materials and workman-
ship.
HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND WHAT
WILL NISSAN DO
If your battery becomes unserviceable within the first
24 months of service Nissan will replace your battery,
including labor, without charge, p roviding the battery
was originally installed in your vehicle by an authorized
INFINITI retailer.
If the battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months of
use, NISSAN will provide a replacement battery at a
reduced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the battery actually used. This is called a “pro-rata ad-
justment”. You will be responsible for all labor charges
for the replacement of the battery.
This warranty and the “pro-rata adjustment” end 84
months after the date of the battery’s purchase or instal-
lation, whichever is earlier.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from: ●Accident, theft, fire or freezing.
● Misuse of the battery or vehicle in which it is
installed, including the use in applications for
which the battery was not designed. Proper use
is described in the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
● Improper installation or battery charging.
● Vehicle electrical malfunctions not covered by
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
● Modification or improper repair of the vehicle or
a part of the vehicle.
● Use of parts not equivalent in quality or design
to parts supplied by INFINITI or NISSAN.
● Environmental conditions, including, but not
limited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of dis- charged batteries.
3. Batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover damage, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine INFINITI bat-
tery installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle is issued
a “salvage” or similar title unless state law ex-
pressly states otherwise. (This exclusion does not
extend to a new Genuine INFINITI battery installed
in the vehicle after the issuance of a “salvage” or
similar title).
WHATYOUMUSTDO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted battery or the v ehicle in which the battery is
installed to an authorized Infiniti retailer in the U.S. or
Canada at your expense, with proof of purchase (parts
invoice or service repair order from an authorized
Infiniti retailer). The names and addresses of autho-
rized Infiniti retailers are listed in telephone directories
or Infiniti.com.
If the “pro-rata adjustment” applies, you must pay for
the portion of the 84 month warrantable life that you
actually used. The amount you pay is computed in two
steps. First, the client pay percentage is determined
from the chart shown below based upon the months of
actual battery service.
Months
In Service Client Pay
Percentage
0–24 0%
25–32 25%
33–50 50%
51–84 75%
Second, the current suggested retail price of the new
battery is multiplied by the client pay percentage. For
example, should the battery fail after 40 months of
service you would pay 50% of the suggested retail price
of the new battery.

SAFETY WARNINGS
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/
OVERLOADING/ MISAPPLICATION.
Follow the vehicle owner’s manual or tire placard in
vehicle.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/IMPROPER
MAINTENANCE.
Tires should be inspected regularly by a qualified
technician for signs of damage, such as punctures or
impacts.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER REPAIRS.
See Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA) es-
tablished repair procedures at www.rma.org and/or
go to www.goodyear.com for information on proper
repair procedures.
●EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO IM-
PROPER MOUNTING.
Only specially-trained persons should mount tires.
When mounting tires, use safety cage and clip-on
extension air hose to inflate.
●FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON APPROVED
RIMS.
●FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL ASSEMBLIES
COMPLETELY BEFORE DEMOUNTING.
●TIRE SPINNING.
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc., do
not spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55 kph), as indi-
cated on the speedometer.
●EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.This can also result in tire disintegration or axle failure.
WARNING: Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort and
other performance parameters may be significantly af-
fected by a change in tire size or type. Before replacing
tires, always consult and follow the vehicle owner’s
manual because some vehicle manufacturers prohibit
changing tire size. When selecting tires that are different
from the original equipment size make certain: (1) The
tires have adequate load carrying capacity based on the
vehicle placard, (2) The tires have sufficient inflation
pressure to carry the load and (3) There is proper clear-
ance with no interference points between the tire and
vehicle. The consumer must be aware to always drive
safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes. Failure to follow any of these
warnings may result in loss of control of the vehicle,
leading to an accident and serious injury or death.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way t o help ensure satisf actory mileage and
performance from your Goodyear or Dunlop tires is to
give them a simple but frequent (at least monthly) in-
spection for proper inflation, ev en treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPE R INFLATIONPRESSURE
IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain
proper inflation pressure, frequently (at least monthly)
check tires (when they are cool) with an accurate tire
pressure gauge.
*
For example, it is difficult to tell just by looking at radial
tires whether they are underinflated. Furthermore, when
operating a vehicle equipped with radial tires, it is diffi-
cult to notice when a tire has gone flat or nearly flat since
the “feel” of the vehicle does not change significantly.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts,
curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fit-
ment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seat-
ing, (2) bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to
insufficient lubrication or improper adjustment, (3)
leaking valve core or rubber valve components. These
should be replaced when problems are detected and
whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown on the
vehicle placard, vehicle certification label or in the ve-
hicle owner’s manual:
Underinflation is the leading cau se of tire failure and
may result in severe cracking, component separation or
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows exces-
sive sidewall flexing and increases rolling resistance,
resulting in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maxi-
mize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation
also increases the chances of impact damage.
(Continued on next page)
* Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always requires expert ins pection to determine the source of leakage and tire removal to determine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER
attempt to reinflate a tire that has been run severely underinflated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual and
Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Tech-
nology (EMT) and RunOnFlat (ROF)) tires to obtain the
performance criteria stated within this Limited War-
ranty, Goodyear Run-Flat tires must use specific parts,
such as a low tire pressure monitoring system autho-
rized by the Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
TIRE PRESS URE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire
with a remarkable feature: It can operate for limited
distances, with very low or even no inflation pressure
(refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limita-
tions). This is an important benefit, especially if inflation
loss occurs at a location where immediately stopping
your vehicle could be hazardous. Because these tires
ride well even without air pressure, your vehicle must be
equipped with a system to alert you when a tire has low
or no air pressure.
MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an
alert, follow these saf ety precautions to prevent a
loss of vehicle control that could result in serious
personal injury or death:
● Slow your speed as much as possible. Do not ex-
ceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
● Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe
handling maneuvers.
● Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air
pressure, your vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire can be driven at low or zero
air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). To help prolon g the life of a tire oper-
ating under low-inflation conditions, drive at a speed as
far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible. Also, drive the
shortest distance possible before obtaining tire service.
Taking these precautions will increase the chance that
your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after an alert from the tire pressure-
monitoring system, contact your Goodyear Run-Flat ser-
vice facility. Trained service personnel will inspect your
tires to determine if they are in need of repair or replace-
ment. To locate your nearest authorized Goodyear Run-Flat
service facility, call 1-800-RUN-FLAT, (1-800-786-3528).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Goodyear
Run-Flat tires, the wheels on which they are
mounted and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring
system, all tire service work other than routine infla-
tion maintenance and external inspections must be
performed by service personnel at a Goodyear Run-
Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount Run-Flat tires
yourself; serious injury or death could result. Only
specially trained persons should mount, dismount
and repair Run-Flat tires.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While most tire maintenance must be performed by a
Goodyear Run-Flat service facility as noted above, there
are a few basic tire care items you can and should
regularly perform yourself
. These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cau se of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maxi-
mize tread life.
