In case of emergency6-11

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 50 MPH (80 km/h) or less.
9. After driving, make sure that the air compressor switch is in the OFF posi-
tion, then screw the hose securely onto
the tire valve. Check the tire pressure
with the pressure gauge. The temporary
repair is completed if the tire pressure
does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to
the pressure that is specified on the
tire and loading information label
before driving.
10. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps from 5 to 9. If the pressure drops
again or under 19 psi (130 kPa), the
tire cannot be repaired with this tire
repair kit. Contact an INFINITI retailer.
The sealant bottle and hose can not be
reused to repair another punctured tire.
Contact an INFINITI retailer to purchase
replacements.
After repairing tire
See an INFINITI retailer for tire repair/
replacement as soon as possible.

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 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. Con-
tinuing operation of the vehicle without
a permanent tire repair can lead to a
crash.
. If you used 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.
To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below
must be followed.
WARNING
.If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always pre-
sent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep
all sparks and flames away from the
battery.
. Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a
corrosive sulphuric acid solution which
can cause severe burns. If the fluid
should come into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted area
with water.
. Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
. The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated battery
can damage your vehicle. .

7-4Appearance and care
CHROME PARTS
Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the
finish.
TIRE DRESSING
INFINITI 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.
Occasionally 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.
CLEANING INTERIOR

CAUTION
.Never use benzine, thinner, or any
similar material.
. For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dampened
with water. Never use a rough cloth,
alcohol, benzine, thinner or any kind of
solvent or paper towel with a chemical
cleaning agent. They will scratch or
cause discoloration to the lens.
. Do not spray any liquid such as water on
the meter lens. Spraying liquid may
cause the system to malfunction.
. Small dirt particles can be abrasive and
damaging to the leather surfaces and
should be removed promptly. Do not use
saddle soap, car waxes, polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents or
ammonia-based cleaners as they may
damage the leather’s natural finish.
. Only use fabric protectors approved by
INFINITI.
. Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may
damage the lens cover.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that
could affect the vehicle interior. If you use
an air freshener, take the following pre-
cautions:
.Hanging-type air fresheners can cause
permanent discoloration when they
contact vehicle interior surfaces. Place
the air freshener in a location that
allows it to hang free and not contact
an interior surface.
. Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip
on the vents. These products can cause
immediate damage and discoloration
when spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions before using air fresh-
eners.
FLOOR MATS
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference that
may result in a collision or injury:
. NEVER place a floor mat on top of
another floor mat in the driver front
position. .
Use only genuine NISSAN floor mats
specifically designed for use in your
vehicle model. See your INFINITI retailer
for more information.
. Properly position the mats in the floor-
well using the floor mat positioning aid.
See “Floor mat positioning aid” (P.7-6).
The use of NISSAN floor mats can extend
the life of your vehicle carpet and make it
easier to clean the interior. Mats should be
maintained with regular cleaning and
replaced if they become excessively worn.
