GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Explanation of General Maintenance

INFOID:0000000005248706

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 dealers do them.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

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

INSIDE THE VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when performing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle,
etc.

Item

Reference page

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.

WT-80

Wheel nuts

When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check for any 
loose nuts. Tighten if necessary.

Tire rotation

Tires should be rotated every 12,000km (7,500 miles). 

MA-36

Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) 
transmitter compo-
nents

Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap when the tires 
are replaced due to wear or age.

WT-77

Wheel alignment and 
balance

If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on a straight and level road, 
or if you detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for wheel 
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, 
wheel balancing may be needed.

Windshield

Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the windshield at least every six 
months for cracks or other damage. Repair as necessary.

Windshield wiper 
blades

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

Doors and engine 
hood

Check that all doors and the engine hood operate smoothy as well as the back 
door, trunk lid and glass hatch. Also make sure that all latches lock securely. Lu-
bricate 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 lubri-
cation frequently.

MA-43

Lamps

Make sure that the headlamps, stop lamps, tail lamps, turn signal lamps, and 
other lamps are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check head-
lamp aim. Clean the headlamps on a regular basis. 

Item

Reference page

Warning lamps and 
chimes

Make sure that all warning lamps and chimes are operating properly.

Windshield wiper and 
washer

Check that the wipers and washer operate properly and that the wipers do not 
streak.

Windshield defroster

Check that the air comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient 
quantity when operating the heater or air conditioner.

Steering wheel

Check that it has the specified play. Check for changes in the steering condi-
tion, such as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
 Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)

Seats

Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to 
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every po-
sition. Check that the head restrains move up and down smoothly and that the 
locks (if equipped) hold securely in all latched positions. Check that the latches 
lock securely for folding-down rear seatbacks.

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE

The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).

Seat belts

Check that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters 
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. 
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.

MA-43

Accelerator pedal

Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch 
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.

Brakes

Check that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied.

Brake pedal and 
booster

Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance 
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to 
keep the floor mats away from the pedal.

BR-7

BR-13

Parking brake

Check that the pedal has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is 
held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied.

PB-3

 

Automatic transmis-
sion "Park" mecha-
nism

Check that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and 
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the 
selector lever in the P (Park) position without applying any brakes.

Windshield washer 
fluid

Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.

Engine coolant level

Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.

CO-8

CO-33

Radiator and hoses

Check the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that 
may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation, de-
terioration or loose connections.

Brake fluid level

Make sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the 
reservoir.

MA-38

Battery

Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” 
lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions re-
quire frequent checks of the battery fluid level.

PG-3

Engine drive belts

Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.

MA-14
MA-22

Engine oil level

Check the level on the oil level gauge after parking the vehicle on a level spot 
and turning off the engine.

LU-6

LU-25

Power steering fluid 
level and lines

Check the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for improper 
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.

MA-41

Exhaust system

Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate 
the trouble and correct it.

MA-30

Underbody

The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those 
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around 
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly 
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt 
can easily accumulate.

Fluid leaks

Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle 
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is 
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for 
the cause and correct it immediately.

maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
