the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information
label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If the light still
illuminates while driving after adjusting
the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
. 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 inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors (for models not equipped with the emergency tire puncture repair kit).
. 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 (for models
equipped with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit).
. 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 (for models equipped with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit).

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.

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.

7-4Appearance and care
CHROME PARTSGUID-7B1741D6-2C4F-413B-8618-39F88AF702B4Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the
finish.
TIRE DRESSINGGUID-6213038C-85D8-458A-A225-4CA585E86FD7INFINITI does not recommend the use of
tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a
coating to the tires to help reduce dis-
coloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing is
applied to the tires, it may react with the
coating and form a compound. This com-
pound may come off the tire while driving
and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take
the following precautions:
.Use a water-based tire dressing. The
coating on the tire dissolves more
easily with an oil-based tire dressing.
. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to
help prevent it from entering the tire
tread/grooves (where it would be diffi-
cult to remove).
. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a
dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing
is completely removed from the tire
tread/grooves.
. Allow the tire dressing to dry as
recommended by tire dressing manu- facturer.
GUID-359BAB52-2A65-4F4D-BE41-288BA282327EOccasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using
a vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush.
Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a
clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft
cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in
order to maintain the appearance of the
leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Some
fabric protectors contain chemicals that
may stain or bleach the seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to
clean the meter and gauge lens.
WARNING
Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can
damage the seat or occupant classification
sensor. This can also affect the operation of
the air bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
