RUN-FLAT TIRES
With special run-flat tires, you can continue
to drive your vehicle even if there is a total
loss of pressure in one or more tires. The
affected tire must not show any clearly visible
damage.
You can recognize run-flat tires by the mark-
ing which appears on the tire side wall. You
will find this marking next to the tire size
designation, the load-bearing capacity and
the speed index.
Run-flat tires may only be used in conjunction
with an activated tire pressure loss warning
system or tire pressure monitor.
Pressure loss warning message
If a pressure loss warning message appears
in the vehicle information display:
•Observe the instructions in the display
messages.
•Check the tire for damage.
•If driving on, observe the following notes.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
is approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the
vehicle is partially laden and approximately
20 miles (30 km) when the vehicle is fully
laden.NIC2686
6-4In case of emergency

In addition to the vehicle load, the driving
distance possible depends upon:
•Vehicle speed.
•Road condition.
•Outside temperature.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving
conditions/maneuvers, or it can be increased
through a moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
is counted from the moment the tire pressure
loss warning appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of 50
MPH (80 km/h).
When replacing one or all tires, observe the
following specifications for your vehicle's
tires:
•Size
•Type
•Run-flat mark
If a tire has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with a run flat tire, a standard tire may be
used as a temporary measure. Make sure that
you use the proper size and type (summer or
winter tire).
WARNING
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneu-
vers, and driving over obstacles (curbs, pot
holes, off road). This applies in particular to
a laden vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
•You hear banging noises.
•The vehicle starts to shake.
•You see smoke and smell rubber.
•VDC is intervening constantly.
•There are tears in the sidewalls of the
tire.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked with regard to their
further use. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. The faulty
tire must be replaced.
REMOVING AND FITTING

formed. For the jump-starting procedure, use only the
jump-starting connection point, consisting of
a positive terminal and an earth point, in the
engine compartment.
WARNING
•If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also dam-
age your vehicle.
•Explosive hydrogen gas is always pres-
ent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the bat-
tery.
•Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothes or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a cor-
rosive sulfuric acid which can cause se-
vere burns. If the fluid should come into
contact with anything, immediately
flush the contacted area with water.
•Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
•The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated bat-
tery can damage your vehicle.

always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety
spectacles) and remove rings, metal
bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump starting.
•Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause seri-
ous injury.
•Your vehicle has an automatic engine
cooling fan. It could come on at any time.
