General Maintenance

INFOID:0000000005145933

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 owner can perform these

checks and inspections or have their INFINITI dealers perform 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-47, "Inspection"

Wheel lug nuts

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

WT-49, "Rotation"

Windshield

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

GW-11, "Removal and 

Installation"

Tire rotation

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

WT-49, "Rotation"

ransmitter components

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

WT-50, "Transmitter 

(Pressure Sensor)"

Wheel alignment and 
balance

If the vehicle pulls 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 align-
ment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel bal-
ancing may be needed.

WT-48, "Balancing 

Wheels"

FSU-6, "Front 

Wheel Alignment"

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 smoothly as well as the back 
door. 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 lubri-
cation frequently.

MA-38, "LOCKS AND 

HINGES : Lubricating 

Locks, Hinges and Hood

Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seat back recliner, etc. to 
make sure they operate smoothly and that all latches lock securely in every po-
sition. Check that the head restraints 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 seat backs.

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 require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.

Engine drive belt

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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.
