2018 INFINITI QX60 tires

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) (if so equipped)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is lit,
and the “Tyre Pressure Low - Add Air” warn-
ing appears in the vehicle information display,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. If equipped, the system also
displays pressure of all tires (except the spare
tire) on the display screen by sending a signal
from a sensor that is installed in each wheel. If
the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the TPMS will activate and warn you of
it by the low tire pressure warning light. This
system will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 mph).
For additional information, refer to “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section and
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affect elec-tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
∙ If the low tire pressure warning light illu- minates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on
the tire placard to turn the low tire pres-
sure warning light OFF. If you have a flat
tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible. ∙ When replacing a wheel without TPMS
such as the spare tire, TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for these services.
∙ Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
∙ Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below:
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.

5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic andto signal professional road assistance
personnel that you need assistance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle and stand in a safe place, away
from traffic and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
∙ Make sure the parking brake is securelyapplied and the Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) is shifted into P
(Park).
∙ Never change tires when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
∙ Never change tires if oncoming traffic is close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.
A. Blocks
B. Flat tire
Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocks at both the front and
back of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat
tire to prevent the vehicle from moving when
it is jacked up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle
may move and result in personal injury.
Getting the spare tire and tools
1. Open the liftgate and lift the luggage board in the cargo area using the handle.

3. Install the assembled jack rod into thejack as shown.
4. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod. Carefully raise the vehicle
until the tire clears the ground. NOTE:
If the lug nut wrench/jack handle contacts
the ground while raising the vehicle, disas-
semble the lug nut wrench from the jack ex-
tension rod, rotate it 90 degrees and reas-
semble.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and then remove the tire.
Installing the spare tire
The spare tire is designed for emergency use.
For additional information, refer to “Wheels
and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between the wheel and hub.
2. Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten the wheel nuts finger tight.
3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel nuts alternately and evenly in the
sequence illustrated (
A,B,C,D,E)
until they are tight.

4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tiretouches the ground. Then, with the
wheel nut wrench, tighten the wheel
nuts securely in the sequence illustrated
(
A,B,C,D,E). Lower the vehicle
completely.
WARNING
∙ Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tight- ened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to
become loose or come off. This could
cause an accident.
∙ Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts to
become loose.
∙ Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve- hicle has been driven for 1,000 km
(621 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 113 N·m (83 ft-lb)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recommended
that wheel nuts be tightened to specifica-
tions at each lubrication interval. Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure: After the vehicle has been
parked for 3 hours or more or driven less
than 1.6 km (1 mile).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
Placard affixed to the driver side center pil-
lar.
5. Securely store the flat tire, tools and jacking equipment in the vehicle.
6. Close the liftgate.
WARNING
∙ Always make sure that the spare tire and jacking equipment are properly secured
after use. Such items can become danger-
ous projectiles in an accident or sudden
stop.
∙ The spare tire is designed for emergency use. For additional information, refer to
“Wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual. ∙ When re-installing the spare tire under
the vehicle after use, be sure to secure it
with the tire stem facing down toward
the ground. If the spare tire is improperly
secured with the tire stem facing up to-
wards the bottom of the vehicle, there is
an increased risk of separating from the
vehicle in the event of crash which may
pose a hazard in traffic or risk of injury to
others.
6-10In case of emergency

∙ Always pull the recovery device straightout from the front of the vehicle. Never
pull at an angle.
∙ Route recovery devices so they do not touch any part of the vehicle except the
attachment point.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud,
etc., use a tow strap or other device designed
specifically for vehicle recovery. Always fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions for the
recovery device.
Rocking a stuck vehicle
WARNING
∙ Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
∙ Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to explode and result in
serious injury. Parts of your vehicle could
also overheat and be damaged.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud,
etc., use the following procedure: 1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system.
2. Make sure the area in front and behind the vehicle is clear of obstructions. 3. Turn the steering wheel right and left to
clear an area around the front tires.
4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and backward.
∙ Shift back and forth between R (Re- verse) and D (Drive).
∙ Apply the accelerator as little as pos- sible to maintain the rocking motion.
∙ Release the accelerator pedal before shifting between R (Reverse) and D
(Drive).
∙ Do not spin the tires above 55 km/h (34 mph).
5. If the vehicle cannot be freed after a few tries, contact a professional towing ser-
vice to remove the vehicle.
In case of emergency6-17

Machine compounding or aggressive polish-
ing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish may
dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
REMOVING SPOTS
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, in-
sects, and tree sap as quickly as possible from
the surface of the paint to avoid lasting dam-
age or staining. Special cleaning products are
available at an INFINITI retailer or any auto-
motive accessory store. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for these
products.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter, it is
necessary to clean the underbody regularly in
order to prevent dirt and salt from building up
and causing the acceleration of corrosion on
the underbody and suspension. Before the
winter period and again in the spring, the
underseal must be checked and, if necessary,
re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust
film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for
glass to become coated with a film after the
vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner
and a soft cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows,
do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive
cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant
cleaners. They could damage the electrical
conductors, radio antenna elements or rear
window defogger elements.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge
dampened in a mild soap solution, especially
during winter months in areas where road
salt is used. If not removed, road salt can
discolor the wheels.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid stain-
ing or discoloring the wheels:
∙ Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acidor alkali contents to clean the wheels.
∙ Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are hot. The wheel
temperature should be the same as ambi-
ent temperature.
∙ Rinse the wheel to completely remove the cleaner within 15 minutes after the
cleaner is applied.
CHROME PARTS
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.
TIRE DRESSINGS
INFINITI does not recommend the use of tire
dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating
to the tires to help reduce discoloration of the
rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires,
it may react with the coating and form a
compound. This compound may come off the
tire while driving and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the
following precautions:
∙ Use a water-based tire dressing. The coating on the tire dissolves more easily
than with an oil-based tire dressing.
∙ Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help prevent it from entering the tire
tread/grooves (where it would be diffi-
cult to remove).
∙ Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing is com-
pletely removed from the tire tread/
grooves.
∙ Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom- mended by tire dressing manufacturer.

Outside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
performed from time to time unless other-
wise specified.
Doors and hoodCheck that all doors and the
hood operate smoothly as well as the back
door, trunk lid and hatch. Also make sure that
all latches lock securely. Lubricate if neces-
sary. Make sure that the secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the pri-
mary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials, check lubrication fre-
quently.
Lights* Clean the headlights on a regular ba-
sis. Make sure that the headlights, stop lights,
tail lights, turn signal lights and other lights
are all operating properly and installed se-
curely. Also check the aim of the headlights.
Tires* Check the pressure with a gauge often
and always prior to long distance trips. Adjust
the pressure in all tires, including the spare, to
the pressure specified. Check carefully for
damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tire rotation* In the case that Two-Wheel
Drive (2WD) and front and rear tires are same
size; tires should be rotated every 10,000 km
(6,000 miles). Tires marked with directional indicators can only be rotated between front
and rear. Make sure that the directional indi-
cators point in the direction of wheel rotation
after the tire rotation is completed.
In the case that Four-Wheel Drive and All
Wheel Drive (4WD/AWD) and front and rear
tires are the same size; tires should be rotated
every 5,000 km (3,000 miles). Tires marked
with directional indicators can only be ro-
tated between front and rear. Make sure that
the directional indicators point in the direc-
tion of wheel rotation after the tire rotation is
completed.
In the case that front tires are different size
from rear tires; tires cannot be rotated.
The timing for tire rotation may vary accord-
ing to your driving habits and the road sur-
face conditions.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components (if so equipped)
Re-
place the TPMS transmitter grommet seal,
valve core and cap when the tires are re-
placed due to wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance If the vehicle
should pull to either side while driving on a
straight and level road, or if you detect un-
even or abnormal tire wear, there may be a
need for wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway
speeds, wheel balancing may be needed.
Windshield
Clean the windshield on a regular
basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as
necessary.
Wiper blades* Check for cracks or wear if not
functioning correctly. Replace as necessary.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on a regular basis, such as when
performing periodic maintenance, cleaning
the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal Check the pedal for
smooth operation and make sure the pedal
does not catch or require uneven effort. Keep
the floor mat away from the pedal.
Brake pedal* Check the pedal for smooth
operation and make sure that it is the proper
distance from the floor mat when depressed
fully. Check the brake booster function. Be
sure to keep the floor mat away from the
pedal.
Parking brake* Check the parking brake op-
eration regularly. Check that the lever (if so
equipped) or the pedal (if so equipped) has
the proper travel. Also make sure that the
