The power outlet is used for powering elec-
trical accessories such as a cellular telephone.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the
on board voltage is too low, the power to the
sockets is automatically cut. This ensures that
there is sufficient power to start the engine.
CAUTION
•The outlet and plug may be hot during or
immediately after use.
•Only certain power outlets are designed
for use with a cigarette lighter unit. Do
not use any other power outlet for an
accessory lighter. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for additional
information.
•Do not use with accessories that exceed
a 12 volt, 180W (15A) power draw. Do
not use double adapters or more than
one electrical accessory.
•Use this power outlet with the engine
running to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
•Avoid using when the air conditioner,
headlights or rear window defogger is
on.
•Push the plug in as far as it will go. If
good contact is not made, the plug may
overheat or the internal temperature
fuse may blow.
•Before inserting or disconnecting a plug,
be sure that the electrical accessory be-
ing used is turned OFF.
•When not in use, be sure to close the cap.
Do not allow water to contact the
outlet.

WARNING
The engine cooling system is filled at the
factory with a high-quality, year-round,
antifreeze coolant solution. The antifreeze
solution contains rust and corrosion inhibi-
tors, therefore additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
•Never remove the radiator or coolant
reservoir cap when the engine is hot.
Wait until the engine and radiator cool
down. Serious burns could be caused by
high-pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator. For additional information on
precautions, refer to "If your vehicle
overheats" in the "6. In case of emer-
gency" section
•The engine coolant reservoir tank is
equipped with a pressure type cap. To
prevent engine damage, use only a
genuine INFINITI pressure cap.
CAUTION
•Never use any cooling system additives
such as radiator sealer. Additives may
clog the cooling system and cause dam-
age to the engine, transmission and/or
cooling system.

If the brakes do not operate properly, it is
recommended that you have the brakes
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
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.
