NOTE
For models which incorporate the Idle Stop/
Start System:
•Ensure that the battery fitted is the special
battery that is enhanced with regard to the
charge-discharge capacity and life perfor-
mance. Avoid using any other battery for
the Idle Stop/Start System, as this may
cause early deterioration of the battery or
a malfunction of the Idle Stop/Start Sys-
tem. It is recommended that a Genuine
INFINITI battery is fitted. For more infor-
mation, it is recommended you contact an
INFINITI retailer.
•If the battery terminal is disconnected (for
battery replacement, etc.) and then recon-
nected, there may be some delay before
the Idle top/Start System reactivates. Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
CAUTION
•Automatic Transmission (AT) model
cannot be push-started or tow-started.
Attempting to do so may cause damage
to the transmission.
•Three-way catalyst equipped models
should not be started by pushing. At-
tempting to do so may cause damage to
the three-way catalyst.
•Never try to start the vehicle by towing
