2018 INFINITI QX60 engine

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
With the engine running, check the distanceA
between the upper surface of the pedal and
the metal floor. If it is out of the range shown,
it is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for service.
Distance A: Under depression force of
490 N (110 lbs)
90 mm (3 1/2 in) or more
Self-adjusting brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes. The front and rear disc-type brakes self-
adjust every time the brake pedal is applied.
WARNING
Have your brake system checked if the
brake pedal height does not return to nor-
mal. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Brake pad wear indicators
The disc brake pads on your vehicle have
audible wear indicators. When a brake pad
requires replacement, a high pitched scraping
or screeching sound will be heard when the
vehicle is in motion. The noise will be heard
whether or not the brake pedal is depressed.
Have the brakes checked as soon as possible
if the wear indicator sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions, oc-
casional brake squeak, squeal or other noise
may be heard. Occasional brake noise during
light to moderate stops is normal and does
not affect the function or performance of the
brake system.
Proper brake inspection intervals should be
followed.
For additional information regard-
ing brake inspections, refer to the appropri-
ate maintenance schedule information in the
“INFINITI Service and Maintenance Guide”.
BRAKE BOOSTER
Check the brake booster function as follows:
1. With the engine off, press and release the brake pedal several times. When
brake pedal movement (distance of
travel) remains the same from one pedal
application to the next, continue on to
the next step.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, start the engine. The pedal height should drop
a little.
3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop the engine. Keep the pedal depressed for
about 30 seconds. The pedal height
should not change.
4. Run the engine for one minute without depressing the brake pedal, then turn it
off. Depress the brake pedal several
times. The pedal travel distance will de-
crease gradually with each depression as
the vacuum is released from the booster.
If the brakes do not operate properly, have
the brakes checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT
CAUTION
Never use a fuse of higher or lower amper-
age rating than that specified on the fuse
box cover.
If any electrical equipment does not come on,
check for an open fuse. 1. Be sure the ignition switch and the head- light switch are OFF.
2. Open the engine hood. 3. Remove the fuse box cover by pushing
the tab and lifting the cover up.
4. Remove the fuse with the fuse puller. The fuse puller is located in the fuse
block in the passenger compartment. 5. If the fuse is open
A, replace it with a
new fuse
B.
6. If a new fuse also opens, have the elec- trical system checked and repaired by an
INFINITI retailer.
Fusible links
If the electrical equipment does not operate
and fuses are in good condition, check the
fusible links. If any of these fusible links are
melted, replace with only Genuine NISSAN
parts.

SPECIFICATIONS
9-6Technical and consumer information

When planning to drive your INFINITI ve-
hicle in another country,you should first find
out if the fuel available is suitable for your
vehicle's engine.
Using fuel with an octane rating that is too
low may cause engine damage. All gasoline
vehicles must be operated with unleaded
gasoline. Therefore, avoid taking your vehicle
to areas where appropriate fuel is not avail-
able.
When transferring the registration of your
vehicle to another country, state, province
or district, it may be necessary to modify the
vehicle to meet local laws and regulations.
The laws and regulations for motor vehicle
emission control and safety standards vary
according to the country, state, province or
district; therefore, vehicle specifications may
differ.
When any vehicle is to be taken into another
country, state, province or district and reg-
istered, its modifications, transportation,
and registration are the responsibility of the
user. INFINITI is not responsible for any in-
convenience that may result.
