PRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collision. This system includes dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front passenger seat is occupied. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Manual.

WARNING:

• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the SR section.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform checks and inspections themselves or have their INFINITI retailers do them.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.

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.

Wheel nuts When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any loose

nuts. Tighten if necessary.

Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly.

Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothly as well as the back door, trunk lid and glass hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the primary latch is released. When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication frequently.

NOTE:

• (1) After 40,000 miles (64,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found damaged.

• (2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.

• (3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, refer to FL section.

• (4) First replacement interval is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 84 months. After first replacement, replace every 75,000 miles (120,000 km) or 60 months.

• (5) Use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze / Coolant (blue) or equivalent with proper mixture ratio of 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. Mixing any other type of coolant or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.

• (6) Replace spark plug when the spark plug gap exceeds 1.4 mm (0.055 in), even if within specified periodic replacement mileage.

• (7) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.

*: Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required.

• (1) Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid. If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, of driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration at an INFINITI retailer every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid if necessary. And if the inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 60,000 miles (96,000 km).

• (2) If tower a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil at every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or 24 months.

• (3) Refer to "Tire rotation" under "GENERAL MAINTENANCE" heading earlier in this section.

MAINTENANCE UNDER SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS

The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be performed on the following items as shown in the table.

Severe driving conditions

• Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).

• Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures remaining below freezing.

• Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go "rush hour" traffic.

• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery use.

• Driving in dusty conditions.

• Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.

• Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier

NOTE:

• Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-

tions”.

(1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.

(2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.

(3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. Check and correct the engine coolant mixture ratio every 48,000 km (30,000 miles) or 24 months. First replacement interval is 168,000 km (105,000 miles) or 96 months. After first replacement, replace every 84,000 km (52,500 miles) or 48 months.

• (1) Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT fluid. If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier or driving on a rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration at INFINITI dealers every 96,000 km (60,000 miles), then change CVT fluid if necessary. And if the inspection is not performed, change (not just inspect) CVT fluid every 96,000 km (60,000 miles).
