2014 INFINITI Q70 HYBRID maintenance

TIRE 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 safety precautions to prevent a loss of
vehicle control that could result in serious personal
injury or death:
●Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph).
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at
low or zero air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for these limitations). To help prolong the life of
a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive at
a speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) 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 operating under low-inflation
conditions, contact your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat
service facility. Trained service personnel will inspect
your tires to determine if they are in need of repair or
replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Goodyear
or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-
GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat tires,
the wheels on which they are mounted and your vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and ex-
ternal inspections must be performed by service per-
sonnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires your-
self; serious injury or death could result. Only specially
trained persons should mount, demount and repair
Run-Flat tires, and more than 40 psi (270 kPa) may be
required to seat beads. A safety cage and clip-on exten-
sion air hose must be used if more than 40 psi (270kPa)
is needed to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-rated, high-
performance tire, the Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire
may be repaired to correct a puncture in the tread, but
PROPER MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE USED.
Contact a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility
for information on proper repairs. For the location of the
nearest facility, call 1-800-GOODYEAR (1-800-466-
3932). WARNING
Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat tires are designed for use
only on certain original equipment wheels s upplied
with a properly operating low
tire pressure-monitoring
system. If applied to a vehicle without a properly oper-
ating low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may
fail when operated in an underinflated condition, result-
ing in loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury
or death. Application of these tires to a vehicle not
equipped with specified operational low tire pressure-
monitoring system constitutes improper and unsafe use
of this product.

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.

TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time
is a function of the storage and service conditions (in-
flation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely
solely on the appearance of the tire, but should be
aware of any change in dynamic performance such as
increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a
sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have
tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
tread wear.
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/ OVER-
LOADING/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.

tions). However, the tire may have to be replaced if
driven under such applications. To help prolong the life
of a tire operating 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 obtain-
ing tire service. Taking the se 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 authorized Dunlop
DSST service facility. Trained service personnel will in-
spect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement.
To locate your nearest authorized Dunlop DSST service
facility, call 1-800-786-3528.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Dunlop
DSST tires, the wheels on which they are mounted
and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system,
all tire service work other than routine inflation
maintenance and external inspection must be per-
formed by service personnel at an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount extended mo-
bility tires yourself; serious injury or death could
result. Only specially trained persons should mount,
dismount and repair DSST tires.
While most tire maintenance must be performed by an
authorized Dunlop DSST service facility, as noted

proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire performance and maxi-
mize tread life.
Check inflation pressures at least once a month and
before long trips. Use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Always check pressures when the tires are cold (when
the vehicle has been driven less than one mile). If you
must check inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi
(27 kPa) to the recommended cold inflation pressure.

fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recom-
mendations and safety warnings contained in the own-
er’s manual and in the Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion Section of this booklet, are covered by this warranty
against defects in workmanship and material for the life
of the original usable tread, or 6 years from the date of
purchase, whichever comes first. At that time, all war-
ranties, express or implied, are terminated. The usable
tread is the original tread down to the level of the tread
wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new
vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of
purchase, coverage will be based on date of manufac-
ture.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:
●Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
●Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,

WHAT MICHELIN WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a compa-
rable new Michelin tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of
an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or
25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to the user)
and within 12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting
and balancing of tires is included. The cost of any other
service charges or applicable taxes are payable by the
user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread
has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most
beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from date of
purchase, the user must pay the cost of a comparable
new Michelin passenger or light truck replacement tire
on a pro-rata b asis.The retailer shall determine the
