SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes. The disc-type brakes self-adjust ev-
ery time the brake pedal is applied.Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognize by
the 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 recom-
mended 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:
•Fuse box 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.

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.

1. Installation or extended use of electronic
accessories that consume battery power
when the engine is not running (Phone
