the specified torque with a torque wrench.
The wheel bolts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recommended
that the wheel bolts be tightened to specifica-
tion at each maintenance interval.
Adjust the tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure is the tire pressure as measured
after the vehicle has been parked for three
hours or more or driven for less than 1 mile (1.6
km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the tire and
loading information label affixed to the driver’s
side center pillar.

When performing any inspection or mainte-
nance work on your vehicle, always take care to
prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or
damage to the vehicle. The following are gen-
eral precautions which should be closely ob-
served.
WARNING
•Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brake securely and block the
wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Press the P (Park) button.
•Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position when performing any parts re-
placement or repairs.
•Do not work under the hood while the en-
gine is hot. Always turn off the engine and
wait until it cools down.
•If you must work with the engine running,
keep your hands, clothing, hair and tools
away from moving fans, belts and any other
moving parts.
•It is advisable to secure or remove any loose
clothing and any jewelry, such as rings,
watches, etc. before working on your ve-
hicle.
•If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases to es-
cape.
•Never get under the vehicle while it is sup-
ported by a jack.
•Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from fuel and the battery.
•Never connect or disconnect either the bat-
tery or any transistorized component con-
nector while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
•On gasoline engine models with the Multi-
port Fuel Injection system, the fuel filter and
fuel lines should be serviced by an INFINITI
retailer or qualified workshop because the
fuel lines are under high pressure even
when the engine is turned off.
•Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
engine cooling fan. It may come on at any
time without warning, even if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position and the engine
is not running. To avoid injury, always dis-
connect the negative battery cable before
working near the fan.
•Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
•Never leave the engine or the transmission
related component harness connector dis-
connected while the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
•Avoid direct contact with used engine oil
and coolant. Improperly disposed engine
oil, engine coolant, and/or other vehicle flu-
ids can hurt the environment. Always con-
form to local regulations for disposal of ve-
hicle fluids.
This “ 8. Do-it-yourself” section provides in-
structions regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.
You should be aware that incomplete or im-
proper servicing may result in operating diffi-
culties or excessive emissions, and could affect
your warranty coverage. If in doubt about any
servicing, it is recommended you have it done by
an INFINITI retailer.

rected when the engine is cold.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.Only check the coolant level if the vehicle is
on a level surface and the engine is cold.
2. Slowly turn cap
1half a turn counter-
clockwise to allow excess pressure to es-
cape.
3. Turn cap
1further counter-clockwise and
remove it.
If the coolant is at the level of marker bar
3in the filler neck when cold, there is enough
coolant in coolant expansion tank

color and fuse rating. The fuse ratings are listed
in the fuse allocation chart.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
The fuses in your vehicle disconnect faulty
circuits. if a fuse blows, all the components on
the circuit and their functions will fail.
BEFORE REPLACING A FUSE
•Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
•Switch off all electrical consumers.
•Remove the key from the ignition lock.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
•Fusebox in the engine compartment on the
left-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed in
the direction of travel.
•Fuse box in the front-passenger footwell.
The fuse allocation chart is on the fuse box in
the front-passenger footwell.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
WARNING
Never use a fuse of higher or lower amperage
rating than that specified on the fuse box
cover. This could damage the electrical system
or electronic control units or cause a fire.
