TOWING RECOMMENDED BY
INFINITI
Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models
INFINITI recommends that your vehicle be
towed with the driving (rear) wheels off the
ground or place the vehicle on a flat bed
truck as illustrated.
CAUTION
.Never tow automatic transmission
models with the rear wheels on the
ground or four wheels on the ground (forward or backward), as this may
cause serious and expensive damage
to the transmission. If it is necessary
to tow the vehicle with the front
wheels raised, always use towing
dollies under the rear wheels.
. When towing rear wheel drive models
with the front wheels on the ground
or on towing dollies: Place the igni-
tion switch in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, and secure the steering wheel in
a straight-ahead position with a rope

The engine cooling system is filled at the
factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50%
BASF Glysantin
®G48®and 50% water to
provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant
protection. The anti-freeze solution contains
rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional
engine cooling system additives are not
necessary.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator 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. See precautions in “If
your vehicle overheats” (P.6-21) of this
manual.
CAUTION
. Never use any cooling system addi-
tives such as radiator sealer. Addi-
tives may clog the cooling system and
cause damage to the engine, trans-
mission and/or cooling system.
. When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only BASF Glysantin
®
G48®or equivalent. BASF Glysantin®
G48®is pre-diluted to provide anti-
freeze protection to −34°F (−37°C). If
additional freeze protection is
needed due to weather where you
operate your vehicle, add BASF Gly-
santin
®G48®concentrate following
the directions on the container. If an
equivalent coolant other than BASF
Glysantin
®G48®is used, follow the
coolant manufacture’s instructions to
maintain minimum antifreeze protec-
tion to −34°F (−37°C). The use of
other types of coolant solutions
other than BASF Glysantin
®G48®
or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.
. The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 120,000 miles (192,000
km) or 10 years. Mixing any other
type of coolant other than BASF
Glysantin
®G48®, or the use of non-
distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill cool-
ant. Refer to the “9. Maintenance
and schedules” section of this manual
for more details.

the engine is running and after it reaches
normal operating temperature. If the coolant
level is below MIN level
, add coolant up to
the MAX level. Tighten the cap securely
after adding engine coolant.
If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
