Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000001612933

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

General Precaution

INFOID:0000000001325654

• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without

proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire

blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.

• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-

saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.

• Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:

Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

• If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of

radio and each control unit is erased.

• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and

lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent serious burns:

Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

• Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning

parts in an appropriate manner.

• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle

shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.

• Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent

prior to inspection or assembly.

• Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,

cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.

• Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
• Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
• Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).

Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

• After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.
• Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
• Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
• Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended

special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.

• When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,

check all affected lines for leaks.

• Before servicing the vehicle:

Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.

WARNING:

To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.

Precaution for Three Way Catalyst

INFOID:0000000001325655

If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec-

essary.

• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the

catalyst.

Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.

Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended)

INFOID:0000000001325656

VQ35DE

INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, you may use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 87AKI number (Research octane number 91), but you may notice a decrease in performance.

CAUTION:

Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.

Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required)

INFOID:0000000001325657

VK45DE

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 96).

If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91) can be used, but only under the following precautions:
• have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gas-

oline as soon as possible.

• avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance, the use of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.

CAUTION:

Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.

Precaution for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control System

INFOID:0000000001325658

• Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for the

multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.

• Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec-

tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.

• Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow

sensor.

Precaution for Hoses

INFOID:0000000001325659

HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

SGI787

GI-6

< SERVICE INFORMATION >

PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose with

tapered tool or screwdriver.

• To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose insertion

length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose
stopper.)

HOSE CLAMPING

• If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi-

tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace
of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at
that position. 

• Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.

• After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of

the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.

Precaution for Engine Oils

INFOID:0000000001325660

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.

HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS 

• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets.
• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
