FUEL-FILLER CAP
WARNING
∙ Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions.
You could be burned or seriously injured if
it is misused or mishandled. Always stop
the engine and do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
∙ Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off au-
tomatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. ∙ Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emission
control system. An incorrect cap can re-
sult in a serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to come
on.
∙ Never pour fuel into the throttle body to attempt to start your vehicle.
∙ Do not fill a portable fuel container in the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
– Always place the container on the ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it.
– Use only approved portable fuel con- tainers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
∙ Do not use a fuel containing more than15% ethanol in your vehicle. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Fuel recom-
mendation” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this
manual.
∙ The Loose Fuel Cap warning message will be displayed if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the message to be dis-
played. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler
cap properly after the Loose Fuel Cap
warning is displayed may cause the Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to
illuminate.
∙ Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop- erly may cause the
Malfunction In-
dicator Light (MIL) to illuminate. If
the
light illuminates because the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive
the vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded
premium gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Re-
search octane number 96). If unleaded pre-
mium gasoline is not available, you may use
unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rat-
ing of at least 87 AKI number (Research oc-
tane number 91), but you may notice a de-
crease in performance.
CAUTION
∙ Only vehicles with the E-85 filler door
label can operate on E-85. Fuel system or
other damage can occur if E-85 is used in
vehicles that are not designed to run on
E-85.
∙ Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect the emission con-
trol system, and may also affect the war-
ranty coverage.
∙ Under no circumstances should a leaded gasoline be used, because this will dam-
age the three-way catalyst. ∙ Do not use a fuel containing more than
15% ethanol in your vehicle. Your vehicle
is not designed to run on a fuel containing
more than 15% ethanol. Using a fuel con-
taining more than 15% ethanol in a ve-
hicle not specifically designed for a fuel
containing more than 15% ethanol can
adversely affect the emission control de-
vices and systems of the vehicle. Damage
caused by such fuel is not covered by the
INFINITI New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
