early brake pad wear. Refer to “Wheels

and tires” in the “9. Technical and con-

information”

section

of

this

manual for wheel off-set dimensions.

O

When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel

is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-

cated, the TPMS will not function and the

low tire pressure warning light will flash

for approximately 1 minute and remain

on after the 1 minute. Contact your

INFINITI dealer as soon as possible for

tire replacement and/or system reset-

ting.

O

Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by INFINITI could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

O

Do not install a damaged or deformed

wheel or tire even if it has been repaired.

Such wheels or tires could have struc-

tural damage and could fail without

warning.

O

The use of retread tires is not recom-

mended.

O

For

additional

information

regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-

formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-

tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-

tion Booklet.

CAUTION

Always use tires of the same type, size,

brand, construction (bias, bias-belted, radial

or run-flat), and tread pattern on all four

wheels. Failure to do so may result in a cir-

cumference difference between tires on the

front and rear axles which will cause exces-

sive tire wear and may damage the transmis-

sion, transfer case and differential gears

(AWD models).

Wheel balance

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle

handling and tire life. Even with regular

use, wheels can get out of balance. There-

fore,

they

should

be

balanced

as

re-

quired.

Wheel balance service should be per-

formed with the wheels off the vehicle.

Spin balancing the rear wheels on the ve-

hicle could lead to mechanical damage.

For additional information regarding tires,

refer to “Important Tire Safety Informa-

tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information”

(Canada) in the INFINITI Warranty Informa-

tion Booklet.

Care of wheels

O

Wash the wheels when washing the

vehicle to maintain their appearance.

O

Clean the inner side of the wheels

when the wheel is changed or the un-

derside of the vehicle is washed.

O

Do not use abrasive cleaners when

washing the wheels.

O

Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents

or corrosion. Such damage may cause

loss of pressure or poor seal at the

tire bead.

O

INFINITI

recommends

that

the

side

walls of road wheels be waxed to pro-

tect against road salt in areas where it

is used during winter.
