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 tiresof 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 hardimpacts 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
attached to the bottle)
—when the cut or the puncture isapproximately 0.25 in (6 mm) or
longer
—when the tire sidewall is damaged

Getting emergency tire puncture
repair kit
Take out the emergency tire puncture
repair kit located under the cargo room or
in the trunk. The repair kit consists of the
following items:
*1Tire sealant bottle
*2Air compressor*
*3Speed restriction sticker
*: The compressor shape may differ
depending on the models.
NOTE:
For models with the emergency tire punc- ture repair kit, a spare tire, jack and rod
are not equipped as standard. These parts
are dealer options. Contact an INFINITI
retailer about obtaining these parts. See
“Changing flat tire (for models with spare
tire)”
(P.6-4) for usage of jacking tools and
tire replacement.
Before using emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit
. If any foreign object (for example, a
screw or nail) is embedded in the tire,
do not remove it.
. Check the expiration date of the sealant
(shown on the label attached to the
bottle). Never use a sealant whose
expiration date has passed.
Repairing tire
WARNING
Observe the following precautions when
using the tire repair compound.
. Swallowing the compound is dangerous.
Immediately drink as much water as
possible and seek prompt medical as-
sistance.
WAXING
Regular waxing protects the paint surface
and helps retain new vehicle appearance.
Polishing is recommended to remove built-
up wax residue and to avoid a weathered
appearance before reapplying wax.
An INFINITI retailer can assist you in
choosing the proper product.
.Wax your vehicle only after a thorough
washing. Follow the instructions sup-
plied with the wax.
. Do not use a wax containing any
abrasives, cutting compounds or clea-
ners that may damage the vehicle
finish.
Machine compound or aggressive polish-
ing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish
may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
REMOVING SPOTS
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the paint surface to avoid lasting
damage or staining. Special cleaning
products are available at an INFINITI
retailer or any automotive accessory
stores.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter,
the underbody must be cleaned regularly.
This will prevent dirt and salt from building
up and causing the acceleration of corro-
sion on the underbody and suspension.
Before the winter period and again in the
spring, the underseal must be checked
and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and
dust film from the glass surfaces. It is
normal for glass to become coated with a
film after the vehicle is parked in the hot
sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows,
do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive
cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant clea-
ners. They could damage the electrical
conductors, radio antenna elements or rear
window defroster elements.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in
a mild soap solution, especially during
winter months in areas where road salt is
used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not
removed.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid stain-
ing or discoloring the wheels:
. Do not use a cleaner that uses strong
acid or alkali contents to clean the
wheels.
. Do not apply wheel cleaners to the
wheels when they are hot. The wheel
temperature should be the same as
ambient temperature.
. Rinse the wheel to completely remove
the cleaner within 15 minutes after the
cleaner is applied.
