ACTIVE LANE CONTROL OP-
ERATION
Active Lane Control slightly corrects front
tire angles and steering wheel torque to help
reduce the difference between the vehicle’s
direction and the lane direction
which is
detected by using the camera unitlocated
above the inside mirror.
Active Lane Control operates under the
following conditions:
.When the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and
above.
.When the Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system is enabled in the settingsmenu on the lower display. To turn on
the LDP system, see “Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) system/Lane Departure
Prevention (LDP)” (P.5-34).
.When Active Lane Control is enabled in
the settings menu on the lower display.
3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten
wheel nuts alternately and evenly in the
sequence illustrated (
,,,,) until
they are tight.
4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire
touches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence as illu-
strated. Lower the vehicle completely.
WARNING
.Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.
.Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the
nuts to become loose.
.Retighten the wheel nuts when the
vehicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
.As soon as possible, tighten the wheel
nuts to the specified torque with a
torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
80 ft-lb (108 N·m)The wheel nuts must be kept tigh-
tened to specification at all times. It
is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to specifications at each
lubrication interval.
.Adjust tire pressure to the COLD
pressure.
COLD pressure:
After the vehicle has been parked for
three hours or more or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label affixed to the driver side center
pillar.
5. Securely store the flat tire and jacking
equipment in the vehicle.
6. Place the spare tire cover (if so equipped)
and the trunk floor carpeting over the
damaged tire.
7. Close the trunk.
WARNING
.Always make sure that the spare tire
(if so equipped) and jacking equip-
ment are properly secured after use.
Such items can become dangerous
projectiles in an accident or sudden
stop..The T-type spare tire and small size
spare tire (if so equipped) are de-
signed for emergency use. See spe-
cific instructions under the heading
“Wheels and tires” (P.8-32).
REPAIRING A FLAT TIRE (for
models with emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit)
WARNING
.After using Emergency Tire Sealant
to repair a minor tire puncture, do not
drive the vehicle at speeds faster
than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
.Immediately after using the Emer-
gency Tire Sealant to repair a minor
tire puncture, take your vehicle to
inspect, and repair or replace the tire.
It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. The
Emergency Tire Sealant cannot per-
manently seal a punctured tire. Con-
tinuing operation of the vehicle
without a permanent tire repair can
lead to a crash.
.INFINITI recommends using only

Engine oil and filter
1. Place a large drain pan under the drain
plug.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain plug
with a wrench
and completely drain the oil.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the
engine oil is hot.
.Waste oil must be disposed of prop-
erly.
.Check your local regulations.
4. (Perform steps 4 to 7 only when the
engine oil filter change is needed.)
Loosen the oil filter
with an oil filter
wrench. Remove the oil filter by turning it
by hand.
5. Wipe the engine oil filter mounting sur-
face with a clean rag.
CAUTION
Be sure to remove any old rubber gasket
remaining on the mounting surface of
the engine. Failure to do so could lead toengine damage.
6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with
clean engine oil.
7. For VR30DDTT engine models: Screw in
the oil filter clockwise until a slight
resistance is felt, then tighten addition-
ally more than 2/3 turn.
For 2.0L turbo gasoline engine models:
Securely tighten the oil filter. Do not use
excessive force.

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire rotation (models equipped with
same size tires on all wheels)
INFINITI recommends rotating the
tires every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
(See “Flat tire” (P.6-3) for tire repla-
cing procedures.)
As soon as possible, tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
80 ft-lb (108 N·m)The wheel nuts must be kept tigh-
tened to the specification at all times.
It is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to the specification at each
tire rotation interval.
WARNING
.After rotating the tires, check
and adjust the tire pressure.
.Retighten the wheel nuts when
the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).
.Do not include the T-type spare
tire or any other small size
spare tire in the tire rotation.
.For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Impor-
tant Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.
After the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, it may take a periodof time for the tire pressure to be
displayed in the vehicle information
display while the vehicle is driven.
Depending on the radio wave circum-
stance, tire pressure may not cor-
rectly be displayed.
Tire rotation (models equipped with
different size tires on front and rear)
Tires cannot be rotated on this vehi-
cle, as front tires are a different size
from rear tires.
A pin is on the front brake rotor to
prevent the rear wheels from being
installed in place of the front wheels.
The spare tire can be installed in place
of the front and rear wheels. When
installing the spare tire in the front
wheel, the hole in the spare tire wheel
must be aligned with the pin on the
brake rotor.
WARNING
.If your vehicle is equipped with
different size front and rear
tires, never install the rear

This vehicle is equipped with air deflectors in
front of the front wheels. The deflectors will
change the air flow to help improve aero-
dynamic performance.
When transporting your vehicle on a trailer,
the air deflectors may interfere with a steep
slope to a trailer bed. In this case, remove the
deflectors from the vehicle.
1. Loosen four screws as shown and re-
move the left-side air deflector
.
2. Tighten the removed screw
in its
original position.
