Your new INFINITI has been designed to
have minimum maintenance requirements
with longer service intervals to save you
both time and money. However, some day-
to-day and regular maintenance is essen-
tial to maintain your INFINITI’s good me-
chanical condition, as well as its emission
and engine performance.
It is the owner’s responsibility to make
sure that the specified maintenance and
the general maintenance are performed.
As the vehicle owner, you are the only
one who can ensure that your vehicle re-
ceives the proper maintenance care. You
are a vital link in the maintenance chain.
Scheduled maintenance:
For your convenience, both required and
optional scheduled maintenance items
are described and listed in your “INFINITI
Service and Maintenance Guide”. You
must refer to that guide to ensure that
necessary maintenance is performed on
your INFINITI at regular intervals.
General maintenance:
General maintenance includes those
items which should be checked during
normal day-to-day operation. They are es-
sential for proper vehicle operation. It is
your responsibility to perform these main-
tenance procedures regularly as pre-
scribed.
Performing general maintenance checks
requires minimal mechanical skill and
only a few general automotive tools.
These checks or inspections can be done
by you, a qualified technician, or, if you
prefer, an INFINITI dealer.
Where to go for service:
If maintenance service is required or your
vehicle appears to malfunction, have the
systems checked and serviced by an
INFINITI dealer.
INFINITI technicians are well-trained spe-
cialists and are kept up to date with the
latest service information through tech-
nical bulletins, service tips, and in-
dealership information systems. They are
completely qualified to work on INFINITI
vehicles
before
work begins.
You can be confident that an INFINITI
dealer’s service department performs the
best job to meet the maintenance
requirements on your vehicle — in a
reliable and economic way.
During the normal day-to-day operation of
the vehicle, general maintenance should
be performed regularly as prescribed in
this section. If you detect any unusual
sounds, vibrations or smell, be sure to
check for the cause or have an INFINITI
dealer perform it promptly. In addition,
you should notify an INFINITI dealer if you
think the repairs are required.
When performing any checks or mainte-
nance work, closely observe the “Mainte-
nance precautions” later in this section.
