CAUTION
In certain driving and driving safety systems,
the sensors adjust automatically while a cer-
tain distance is being driven after the vehicle
has been delivered or after repairs. Full system
effectiveness is not reached until the end of
this teach-in process.
Brake pads/linings and rotors that are either
new or have been replaced only achieve opti-
mum braking effect after several hundred
miles of driving. Compensate for the reduced
braking effect by applying greater force to the
brake pedalFollow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.
1.Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake Pedal
Application
•Avoid rapid starts and stops.
•Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake
application whenever possible.
•Maintain constant speed while commut-
ing and coast whenever possible.
2.Maintain Constant Speed
•Look ahead to try and anticipate and
minimize stops.
•Synchronizing your speed with traffic lights
allows you to reduce your number of stops.
•Maintaining a steady speed can minimize
red light stops and improve fuel efficiency.
3.Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher Vehicle
Speeds
•Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
•Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle due
to increased aerodynamic drag.
•Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling load.
4.Drive at Economical Speeds and Distances
•Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where legally
allowed) can improve fuel efficiency due
to reduced aerodynamic drag.
•Maintaining a safe following distance
behind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
•Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
•Select a gear range suitable to road
conditions.
5.Use Cruise Control
•Using cruise control during highway driv-
ing helps maintain a steady speed.
•Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
Utilize a map or navigation system to determine
the best route to save time.
FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS
5-82Starting and driving
TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed to
provide superior performance on dry pave-
ment. However, the performance of these
tires will be substantially reduced in snowy
and icy conditions. If you operate your ve-
hicle on snowy or icy roads, INFINITI recom-
mends the use of MUD & SNOW or ALL
SEASON TIRES on all four wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for the tire type, size, speed rating and
availability information.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded
tires may be used. However, some U.S.
states and Canadian provinces prohibit their
use. Check local, state and provincial laws
before installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow
tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be poorer than
that of non-studded snow tires.
3. Tire chains may be used if desired. Make
sure they are the proper size for the tires on
your vehicle and are installed according to
the chain manufacturer’s instructions. Use
chain tensioners when recommended by the
tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit.
Loose end links of the tire chains must be
secured or removed to prevent the possibil-
ity of whipping action damage to the fendersor underbody. In addition, drive at a reduced
speed, otherwise, your vehicle may be dam-
aged and/or vehicle handling and perfor-
mance may be adversely affected.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during the winter:
•A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove
ice and snow from the windows.
•A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the
jack to give it firm support.
•A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
•Extra washer fluid to refill the windshield
washer fluid reservoir.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
•Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain), very
cold snow or ice can be slick and very hard
to drive on. The vehicle will have much less
traction or “grip” under these conditions.
Try to avoid driving on wet ice until the road
is salted or sanded.
•Whatever the condition, drive with caution.
Accelerate and slow down with care. If ac-
celerating or downshifting too fast, the
drive wheels will lose even more traction.
•Allow more stopping distance under these
conditions. Braking should be started
sooner than on dry pavement.
•Allow greater following distances on slip-
pery roads.
•Watch for slippery spots (glare ice). These
may appear on an otherwise clear road in
shaded areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead,
brake before reaching it. Try not to brake
while on the ice, and avoid any sudden
steering maneuvers.
•Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
•Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas under
your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaust
pipe and from around your vehicle.
5-94Starting and driving
Use the following steps to mount the front
license plate:
Before mounting the license plate, confirm that
the following parts are enclosed in the plastic
bag:Only use the recommended mounting position,
otherwise the obstruction of the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) sensor (if so equipped) may
result.
•License plate bracket
•License plate screws x 2
•Screw grommets x 2
1) Park the vehicle on flat, level ground.
2) Locate the center position
Aas illustrated.
Line up the license plate bracket under the
top of the front bumper with the tabs
B.
Hold the license plate bracket in place.
3) Mark the center of the holes
Cwith a
felt-tip pen.
4) Carefully drill two pilot holes using a 10 mm
(0.39 in) drill bit at the marked locations.(Be
sure that the drill only goes through the bum-
per fascia.)
5) Insert the grommets into the holes in the
bumper fascia.
6) Install the license plate bracket with the
provided screws.
7) Install the license plate on to the bracket
with bolts that are no longer than 14 mm
(0.55 in).
