•When using a wheel without TPMS such
as the spare tire, the TPMS will not func-
tion and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 min-
ute. The light will remain on after 1 min-
ute. 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.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the park- ing brake. Push the park button to shift to
the P (Park) position.
4. Turn off the engine. 5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and
to signal professional road assistance
personnel that you need assistance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place, away from traf-
fic and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
• Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the shift position is placed in
the P (Park) position.
• 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.
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.

6-4In case of emergency
In order to maintain the appearance of your
vehicle, it is important to take proper care of
it.
To protect the paint surfaces, wash your ve-
hicle as soon as you can:
• After a rainfall to prevent possible damagefrom acid rain.
• After driving on coastal roads.
• When contaminants such as soot, bird droppings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs
get on the paint surface.
• When dust or mud builds up on the surface.
Whenever possible, store or park your vehicle
inside a garage or in a covered area.
When it is necessary to park outside, park in a
shady area or protect the vehicle with a body
cover.
Be careful not to scratch the paint surface
when putting on or removing the body cover.
WASHING
Wash dirt off with a wet sponge and plenty
of water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly using a
mild soap, a special vehicle soap or general
purpose dishwashing liquid mixed with clean,
lukewarm (never hot) water.
CAUTION
• Do not concentrate water spray directly
on the sonar sensors (if so equipped) on
the bumper as this will result in damage
to the sensors. Do not use pressure
washers capable of spraying water over
1,200 psi (8,274 kPa) to wash your ve-
hicle. Use of high-pressure washers over
1,200 psi (8,274 kPa) can result in dam-
age to or removal of paint or graphics.
Avoid using a high-pressure washer
closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to the ve-
hicle. Always use a wide-angle nozzle
only, keep the nozzle moving and do not
concentrate the water spray on any one
area.
• Do not use car washes that use acid in the
detergent. Some car washes, especially
brushless ones, use some acid for clean-
ing. The acid may react with some plastic
vehicle components, causing them to
crack. This could affect their appear-
ance, and also could cause them not to
function properly. Always check with
your car wash to confirm that acid is not
used.
• Do not wash the vehicle with strong
household soap, strong chemical deter-
gents, gasoline or solvents. •
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight
or while the vehicle body is hot, as the
surface may become water-spotted.
• Avoid using tight-napped or rough
cloths, such as washing mitts. Care must
be taken when removing caked-on dirt
or other foreign substances so the paint
surface is not scratched or damaged.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of
clean water.
Inside edges, seams and folds on the doors,
hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable
to the effects of road salt. Therefore, these
areas must be cleaned regularly. Take care
that the drain holes in the lower edge of the
door are open. Spray water under the body
and in the wheel wells to loosen the dirt and
wash away road salt.
A damp chamois can be used to dry the ve-
hicle to avoid water spots.
WAXING
Regular waxing protects the paint surface
and helps retain new vehicle appearance.
Polishing is recommended to remove built-up
wax residue and to avoid a weathered ap-
pearance before re-applying wax.
An INFINITI retailer can assist you in choos-
ing the proper product.

2. Locate the jumper harness connector un-der the lower portion of the instrument
panel. The connector is taped to the wir-
ing harness
O1as indicated.
• The connector is marked with a white tag with “elec brake conn”.
If you have trouble locating the wiring har-
ness, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for assistance.

4. Release the parking brake.
5. Install the aftermarket electric trailer brake controller according to the manu-
facturer's instructions.
Pre-towing tips
• Be certain your vehicle maintains a levelposition when a loaded and/or unloaded
trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if
it has an abnormal nose-up or nose-down
condition; check for improper tongue load,
overload, worn suspension or other pos-
sible causes of either condition.
• Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving. • Keep the cargo load as low as possible in
the trailer to keep the trailer center of grav-
ity low.
• Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the trailer load is in the front half and 40%
is in the back half. Also make sure the load is
balanced side to side.
• Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, ve- hicle tire pressure, trailer light operation,
and trailer wheel lug nuts every time you
attach a trailer to the vehicle.
• Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to all federal, state or local regulations. If
not, install any mirrors required for towing
before driving the vehicle.
• Determine the overall height of the vehicle and trailer so the required clearance is
known.Trailer towing tips
In order to gain skill and an understanding of
the vehicle's behavior, you should practice
turning, stopping and backing up in an area
which is free from traffic. Steering stability and
braking performance will be somewhat differ-
ent than under normal driving conditions.
• Always secure items in the trailer to preventload shift while driving.
