primary latch is released. When driving in ar-
eas using road salt or other corrosive materi-
als, check lubrication frequently.
Lights*:
Clean the headlights on a regular basis. Make
sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights,
turn signal lights, and other lights are all op-
erating properly and installed securely. Also
check the aim of the headlights.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*:
When checking the tires, make sure no wheel
nuts are missing, and check for any loose
wheel nuts. Tighten if necessary.
Tire rotation*:
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles
(8,000 km). Tires marked with directional
indicators can only be rotated between front
and rear. Make sure that the directional indi-
cators point in the direction of wheel rotation
after the tire rotation is completed.
Tires*:
Check the pressure with a gauge often and
always prior to long distance trips. Adjust the
pressure in all tires to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive
wear.Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components:
Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal,
valve core and cap when the tires are re-
placed due to wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle should pull to either side while
driving on a straight and level road, or if you
detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there
may be a need for wheel alignment.
If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at nor-
mal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.

The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery*:
Except for maintenance free battery, check
the fluid level in each cell. It should be be-
tween the “UPPER” and “LOWER” lines.
NOTE
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic
accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or
only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.Brake fluid level*:
Make sure that the brake fluid level is be-
tween the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the res-
ervoir.
Coolant level*:
Check the coolant level when the engine is
cold.
Engine drive belt(s)*:
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn,
cracked or oily.
Engine oil level*:
Check the level after parking the vehicle on a
level spot and turning off the engine. Wait
more than 15 minutes for the oil to drain back
into the oil pan.
Exhaust system:
Make sure there are no loose supports,
cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust
seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust
fumes, immediately have the exhaust system
inspected. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. See "Precau-
tions when starting and driving".

Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or
other fluid leaks after the vehicle has been
parked for a while. Water dripping from the
9-4Maintenance and Schedules

To ensure smooth, trouble-free, safe and
economical driving, INFINITI provides two
maintenance schedules that may be used,
depending upon the conditions in which you
usually drive. These schedules contain both
distance and time intervals, up to 120,000
miles (192,000 km)/144 months. For most
people, the odometer reading will indicate
when service is needed. However, if you drive
very little, your vehicle should be serviced at
the regular time intervals shown in the sched-
ule.
After 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144
months, continue maintenance at the same
mileage/time intervals.
OIL CHANGE MONITOR
This vehicle is equipped with oil change moni-
tor. It calculates engine oil and filter change
interval base on driving conditions. When the
Engine Oil – Service Due Now warning ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, the
engine oil and filter need to be replaced.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE
MESSAGES
The maintenance service interval display in-
forms you of the next service due date.
NOTE
The maintenance service interval display
does not show any information on the engine
oil level.
The vehicle information display shows a ser-
vice message for a few seconds, for example:
•[Service A In .. days]
•[Service A Due]
•[Service A Exceeded by .. days]
Depending on the operating conditions of the
vehicle, the remaining time or distance until
the next service due date is displayed.
The letter indicates which service is due. A
stands for a minor service and B for a major
service. A number or another letter may be
displayed after the letter.
Only for certain countries: the position after
the letter A or B indicates any necessary ad-
ditional maintenance work. If you notify an
INFINITI retailer of this display, you will re-
ceive a statement on the associated costs.
The maintenance service interval display does
not take into account any periods of time dur-
ing which the battery is disconnected.
Maintaining the time-dependent service
schedule:

WHEELS AND TIRES DIMENSIONS
10-8Technical information

Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that
you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle. (See "Mea-
surement of weights" later in this section.)
Also check tires for proper inflation pres-
sures. See the Tire and Loading Information
label.
LOADING TIPS
•The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the F.M.V. S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
•Do not load the front and rear axle to the
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.
WARNING
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
•Do not load your vehicle any heavier
than the GVWR or the maximum front
and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of your
vehicle can break, tire damage could oc-
cur, or it can change the way your ve-
hicle handles. This could result in loss of
control and cause personal injury.
•Overloading could not only shorten the
life of your vehicle and the tires, but also
could cause unsafe vehicle handling and
longer braking distances. This may
cause a premature tire failure which
could result in a serious accident and
personal injury. Failures caused by over-
loading are not covered by the vehicle's
warranty.
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts
that could affect the balance of your vehicle.
When the vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale
and weigh the front and the rear wheels
separately to determine axle loads. Individual
axle loads should not exceed either of the
gross axle weight ratings (GAWR). The total
of the axle loads should not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR). These ratings
are given on the vehicle certification label. If
weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove
items to bring all weights below the ratings.Your vehicle was designed to be used to carry
passengers and luggage
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
Technical information10-15

DOT (Department Of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must con-
form to federal safety requirements in addi-
tion to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and
one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the govern-
ment course as a tire graded 100. The rela-
tive performance of tires depends upon ac-
tual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due
to variations in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road characteristics
and climate.
TRACTION AA, A, B AND C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent
the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of as-
phalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
TEMPERATURE A, B AND C
The temperature grades A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under controlled con-
ditions on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance which
all passenger car tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
109. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat
build-up and possible tire failure.

10-16Technical information

For Canada:
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately in-
form Transport Canada in addition to notify-
ing INFINITI.
If Transport Canada receives complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it finds that
a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may request that INFINITI conduct a recall
campaign. However, Transport Canada can-
not become involved in individual problems
between you, your retailer, or INFINITI.
You may contact Transport Canada’s Defect
Investigations and Recalls Division toll free
at 1-800-333- 0510. You may also report
safety defects online at:
https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec- Sur/7/

Additional information concerning motor
vehicle safety may be obtained from Trans-
port Canada’s Road Safety Information
Center at 1-800-333- 0371 or online at

or www.tc.gc.ca/securiteroutiere (French
speakers).
To notify INFINITI of any safety concerns
please contact our Consumer Information
Center toll free at 1-800- 361-4792.WARNING
A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) should never be tested using a two
wheel dynamometer (such as the dyna-
mometers used by some states for emis-
sions testing), or similar equipment. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel that
your vehicle is equipped with AWD before
it is placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in trans-
mission damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious ve-
hicle damage or personal injury.
Due to legal requirements in some states and
Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may be re-
quired to be in what is called the “ready con-
dition” for an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
test of the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the “ready condition”
when it is driven through certain driving pat-
terns. Usually, the “ready condition” can be
obtained by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is repaired
or the battery is disconnected, the vehicle
may be reset to a “not ready condition”. Be-
fore taking the I/M test, check the vehicle’s
inspection/maintenance test readiness con-
dition. Place the ignition switch in the ON
position without starting the engine. If theMalfunction Indicator Light (MIL) comes on
steady for 20 seconds and then blinks for
10 seconds, the I/M test condition is “not
ready”. If the MIL does not blink after 20 sec-
onds, the I/M test condition is “ready”.
It is recommended you contact an INFINITI
retailer to set the “ready condition” or to pre-
pare the vehicle for testing.
