THREE-WAY CATALYSTGUID-95568F2F-49DE-4B7D-A515-B5B67DEDCB70The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
.The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline seriously reduce
the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions
in the ignition, fuel injection, or elec-
trical systems can cause overrich fuel flow into the three-way catalyst, causing
it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the
engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of
performance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the vehicle
inspected promptly by an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause
the engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
GUID-AE064E79-B7BC-43E8-A59C-8E37C2FE1CECEach tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one

REPAIRING FLAT TIRE (for models
with emergency tire puncture repair
kit)
GUID-A2EC433E-59F3-4454-8763-66668B584D77
WARNING
.After using Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, do not drive
the vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
. Immediately after using the Emergency
Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire
puncture, take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer to inspect, and repair or replace
the tire. The Emergency Tire Sealant cannot permanently seal a punctured
tire. Continuing operation of the vehicle
without a permanent tire repair can lead
to a crash.
. If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant
to repair a minor tire puncture, your
INFINITI retailer will also need to replace
the TPMS sensor in addition to repairing
or replacing the tire.
. INFINITI recommends using only NISSAN
Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant pro-
vided with your vehicle. Other tire
sealants may damage the valve stem
seal which can cause the tire to lose air
pressure.
This vehicle does not have a spare tire. The
emergency tire puncture repair kit (Emer-
gency Tire Sealant) is supplied with the
vehicle instead of a spare tire. It can be
used to temporarily repair minor tire
punctures.
If possible, have the vehicle towed to a
facility that can repair or replace the flat
tire. Using the emergency tire puncture
repair kit may cause a malfunction of the
tire pressure sensor and cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If you have a flat tire, follow the instruc-
tions below.
CAUTION
.
To avoid the emergency tire puncture kit
being damaged during storage or use:
—Only use the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit on your vehicle. Do not
use it on other vehicles.
—Only use the kit to inflate the tires
of your vehicle and to check the
vehicle’s tire pressure.
—Only plug the compressor into a 12VDC car power point.
—Keep the kit free of water and dirt.
—Do not disassemble or modify thekit.
—Do not drop the kit or allow hard
impacts to the kit.
. Do not use the emergency tire puncture
repair kit under the following conditions.
Contact an INFINITI retailer or profes-
sional road assistance.
—when the sealant has passed its
expiration date (shown on the label

6-12In case of emergency
SCE0871
6. Push the ignition switch to the“ACC”
position. Then turn the compressor
switch to the ON (−) position and inflate
the tire up to the pressure that is
specified on the tire and loading
information label affixed to the driver’s
side center pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa). Turn the
air compressor off briefly in order to
check the tire pressure with the pres-
sure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the
specified pressure, lower the tire pres-
sure by releasing air with the pressure
release valve. NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge
may show a pressure reading of 87 psi
(600 kPa) for about 30 seconds while
inflating the tire. The pressure gauge is
indicating the pressure inside the
sealant can. When the sealant has
been injected into the tire the pressure
gauge will drop and indicate actual tire
pressure.
WARNING
.
To avoid serious personal injury while
using the emergency tire puncture repair
kit:
—Securely tighten the compressor
hose to the tire valve. Failure to do
so can cause the sealant to spray
into the air and get into your eyes or
on the skin.
. Do not stand directly beside the da-
maged tire while it is being inflated
because of the risk of the rupture. If
there are any cracks or bumps, turn the
compressor off immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase to 26 psi (180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the
tire may be seriously damaged and
the
tire cannot be repaired with this tire
repair kit. Contact an INFINITI retailer.
7. When the tire pressure is at the
specified amount, turn the air compres-
sor off. If the pressure cannot be
inflated to the specified amount, the
air compressor can be turned off at the
minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa). Remove
the power plug from the power outlet
and quickly remove the hose from the
tire valve. Attach the protective cap and
valve cap. Properly stow the emergency
tire puncture repair kit in the trunk.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury when
stowing the emergency tire puncture repair
kit:
. Keep the sealant bottle screwed into the
compressor. Failure to do so can cause
the sealant to spray into the air and get
into your eyes or on the skin.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10
minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed of
