THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the converter
are burned at high temperatures to help
reduce pollutants.
WARNING
O
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
O
Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.
CAUTION
O
Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline will seriously re-
duce the three-way catalyst’s ability to
help reduce exhaust pollutants.
O
Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if no-
ticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected.
Have the vehicle inspected promptly by
an INFINITI dealer.
O
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause
the engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
O
Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
O
Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
ON-PAVEMENT AND
OFF-ROAD DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
(for AWD models)
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than
passenger cars to make them capable of
performing in a variety of on-pavement
and off-road applications. This gives them
a higher center of gravity than ordinary
cars. An advantage of higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road, al-
lowing you to anticipate problems. How-
ever, they are not designed for cornering
at the same speeds as conventional two-
wheel drive vehicles any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If
at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt maneuvers particularly at high
speeds. As with other vehicles of this
type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or ve-
hicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an un-
belted person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) (for models
without run-flat tire only)
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
