7. Have all passengers get out of the vehicleand stand in a safe place, away from traffic
and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
●Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the transmission is shifted
into P (Park) .
● Never repair tires when the vehicle is on
a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
● Never repair tires if oncoming traffic is
close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.

3. Remove the cap from the tire sealant bottle,and screw the bottle clockwise onto the
bottle holder. (Leave the bottle seal intact.
Screwing the bottle onto the bottle holder
will pierce the seal of the bottle.)
4. Remove the cap from the tire valve on the flat tire. 5. Remove the protective capAof the hose
and screw the hose securely onto the tire
valve. Make sure that the pressure release
valve
Bis securely tightened. Make sure
that the air compressor switch is in the OFF
(O) position, and then insert its power plug
into the power outlet in the vehicle. 6. Push the ignition switch to the “ACC” posi-
tion. Then turn the compressor switch to the
ON () position and inflate the tire up to the
pressure that is specified on the tire and
loading information label affixed to the driv-
er’s side pillar if possible, or to the minimum
of 26 psi (180 kPa) . Turn the air compressor
off briefly in order to check the tire pressure
with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the specified
pressure, lower the tire pressure by releasing air
with the pressure release valve.
SCE0869SCE0870SCE0871
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 ac-
tual tire pressure.
WARNING
●To avoid serious personal injury while
using the emergency tire puncture re-
pair 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 dam-
aged tire while it is being inflated be-
cause of the risk of the rupture. If there
are any cracks or bumps, turn the com-
pressor 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 re-
paired with this tire puncture repair kit. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
servicing.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified amount, turn the air compressor 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 re-
pair 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 com- pressor switch is in the OFF (O) position,
then screw the hose securely onto the tire
valve. Check the tire pressure with the pres-
sure gauge. The temporary repair is com-
pleted 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 puncture repair
kit. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this servicing.
The sealant bottle and hose cannot be re-
used to repair another punctured tire. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
to purchase replacements.

CAUTION
Tire chains/cables should not be installed
on P255/40RF19 and 265/35RF19 tires.
Doing so will cause damage to the vehicle.
If you plan to use tire chains/cables, you
should install 245/40RF19 or
P245/40RF19 tires on your vehicle.
Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to
location. Check the local laws before installing
tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure
they are the proper size for the tires on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAE
class S chains. Class “S” chains are used on
vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle clearance.
Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains are de-
signed to meet the SAE standard minimum clear-
ances between the tire and the closest vehicle
suspension or body component required to ac-
commodate the use of a winter traction device
(tire chains or cables) . The minimum clearances
are determined using the factory equipped tire
size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use
chain tensioners when recommended by the tire
chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose
end links of the tire chain must be secured or
removed to prevent the possibility of whipping
action damage to the fenders or underbody. If
possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced
speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged
and/or vehicle handling and performance may be
adversely affected.
Tire chains must be installed only on the
rear wheels and not on the front wheels.
Never install tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire (if so equipped) . Never install tire
chains on a punctured run-flat tire (if so
equipped) , as this could damage your vehicle.
Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with
tire chains in such conditions can cause damage
to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to
some overstress.
TIRE CHAINS
The purpose of the regulation is to help reduce
the risk of injury or death from an inflating air bag
to certain front passenger seat occupants, such
as children, by requiring the air bag to be auto-
matically turned OFF. Certain sensors are used to
meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this vehicle
is a weight sensor. It is designed to detect an
occupant and objects on the seat by weight. For
example, if a child is in the front passenger seat,
the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System is de-
signed to turn the front passenger air bag OFF in
accordance with the regulations. Also, if a child
restraint of the type specified in the regulations is
on the seat, its weight and the child’s weight can
be detected and cause the air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are
properly seated and using the seat belt as out-
lined in this manual should not cause the front
passenger air bag to be automatically turned
OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF,
however if the occupant takes his/her weight off
the seat cushion (for example, by not sitting up-
right, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by
otherwise being out of position) , this could cause
the sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be
sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt
properly for the most effective protection by the
seat belt and supplemental air bag.INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and chil-
dren be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate child
restraints and booster seats be properly installed
in a rear seat. If this is not possible, the occupant
classification sensor is designed to operate as
described above to turn the front passenger air
bag OFF for specified child restraints as required
by the regulations. Failing to properly secure
child restraints and to use the ALR mode may
allow the restraint to tip or move in a collision or
sudden stop. This can also result in the passen-
ger air bag inflating in a crash instead of being
OFF. For additional information about proper use
and installation, refer to “Child restraints” in this
section.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the
front passenger air bag is designed not to inflate
in a crash. However, heavy objects placed on the
seat could result in air bag inflation, because of
the object’s weight detected by the occupant
classification sensor. Other conditions could also
result in air bag inflation, such as if a child is
standing on the seat, or if two children are on the
seat, contrary to the instructions in this manual.
Always be sure that you and all vehicle occupants
are seated and restrained properly.
Using the front passenger air bag status light, you
can monitor when the front passenger air bag is
automatically turned OFF.If an adult occupant is in the seat but the front
passenger air bag status light is illuminated (indi-
cating that the air bag is OFF) , it could be that the
person is a small adult, or is not sitting on the seat
properly or not using the seat belt properly.
If a child restraint must be used in the front seat,
the front passenger air bag status light may or
may not be illuminated, depending on the size of
the child and the type of child restraint being
used. If the air bag status light is not illuminated
(indicating that the air bag might inflate in a
crash) , it could be that the child restraint or seat
belt is not being used properly. Make sure that
the child restraint is installed properly, the seat
belt is used properly and the occupant is posi-
tioned properly. If the air bag status light is still not
illuminated, reposition the occupant or child re-
straint in a rear seat.
If the front passenger air bag status light will not
illuminate even though you believe that the child
restraint, the seat belts and the occupant are
properly positioned, it is recommended that you
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer. An
INFINITI retailer can check system status by us-
ing a special tool. However, until you have con-
firmed with a retailer that your air bag is working
properly, reposition the occupant or child re-
straint in a rear seat.
