4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
The Q50 is factory equipped with run-flat tires. It is not equipped with a jack or spare tire as standard
equipment. However, the following jacking instructions apply when using the optional Infiniti jack.
Always follow these instructions when jacking up the vehicle and changing a tire:
• Never change a tire when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. Jack must be onlevel ground.
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and shift selector is in P (Park) position.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack.
• Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the vehicle to move. This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off the ground. It may cause the vehicle to move.
• Be sure to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being removed as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so the top of the jack contacts thevehicle at the jack-up point. Align the jack head between the two notches in the front or the rear
as shown. Also fit the groove of the jack head between the notches as shown. The jack
should be used on level firm ground.
