To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must
be followed.
WARNING
.If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting
in severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
. Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
the battery.
. Do not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with eyes, skin, clothing
or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a
corrosive sulphuric acid solution
which can cause severe burns. If the
fluid should come into contact with
anything, immediately flush the con-
tacted area with water.
. Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
. The booster battery must be rated at
12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.
. Whenever working on or near a
battery, always wear suitable eye
protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and re-
move rings, metal bands, or any other
jewelry. Do not lean over the battery
when jump starting.
. Do not attempt to jump start a
frozen battery. It could explode and
cause serious injury.
. Your vehicle has an automatic engine
cooling fan. It could come on at any
time. Keep hands and other objects
away from it.
For 2.0L turbo gasoline engine models:
The vehicle has 2 batteries, a main
battery and an auxiliary battery. The
engine cannot be started if either bat-
tery is discharged. First, apply the
following procedure to the main battery
to jump-start the engine.
If the engine does not start, apply the
procedure to the auxiliary battery. For
the position of the batteries, see “Engine
compartment check locations” (P.8-4)
or “Battery” (P.8-16).
. Use the special battery that is dedi-
cated for the Idling Stop System,
with enhanced charge-discharge ca-
pacity and life performance. Using
the non-special battery could cause
early deterioration of the battery
and/or malfunction of the Idling Stop System. For the special battery, it is
recommended to use Genuine
NISSAN parts. For more information,
contact an INFINITI retailer.
. It may take some time until the Idling
Stop System activates when the
battery is replaced or the battery
terminal is disconnected for extended
periods and then reconnected.

4. For 2.0L turbo gasoline engine model: Pull up the engine cover and remove it.
5. Connect jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated (
???).
CAUTION
.Always connect positive (+) to posi-
tive (+) and negative (−) to body
ground (as illustrated) − not to the
battery.
. Make sure the jumper cables do not
touch moving parts in the engine
compartment and that clamps do not contact any other metal.
6. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and let it run for a few minutes.
7. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle
at about 2,000 rpm, and start
the engine of the vehicle being jump
started
.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged
for more than 10 seconds. If the engine
does not start right away, push the
ignition switch to the OFF position and
wait 10 seconds before trying again.
8. After starting your engine, carefully disconnect the negative cable and then
the positive cable (
???).
9. Replace the vent caps (if so equipped). Be sure to dispose of the cloth used to
cover the vent holes as it may be
contaminated with corrosive acid.
10. Put the battery cover and the engine cover back to the original location.
NOTE:
For 2.0L turbo gasoline engine models, if
the engine cannot be started after the procedure above, the auxiliary battery
may be discharged. Connect the jumper
cables to the auxiliary battery and apply
the procedure shown in “Auxiliary battery
(for 2.0L turbo gasoline engine models)”
(P.6-19).

CHECKING BATTERY FLUID LE-
VEL
Main battery
Check the fluid level in each cell (remove the
battery cover if it is necessary). It should be
between the UPPER LEVEL
and LOWER
LEVELlines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only
distilled water to bring the level to the
indicator in each filler opening. Do not
overfill.
