ciency and/or early brake pad wear.
Refer to “Wheels and tires” in the “9.
Technical and consumer information”
section of this manual for wheel off-set
dimensions.
O
When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute and re-
main on after the 1 minute. Contact your
INFINITI dealer as soon as possible for
tire replacement and/or system reset-
ting.
O
Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O
Do not install a deformed wheel or tire
even if it has been repaired. Such wheels
or tires could have structural damage
and could fail without warning.
O
The use of retread tires is not recom-
mended.
O
For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.
CAUTION
Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted, ra-
dial or run-flat), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Failure to do so may result in a cir-
cumference difference between tires on the
front and rear axles which will cause exces-
sive tire wear and may damage the transmis-
sion, transfer case and differential gears
(AWD models).
Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular
use, wheels can get out of balance. There-
fore, they should be balanced as re-
quired.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the rear wheels on the ve-
hicle could lead to mechanical damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the INFINITI Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.
Care of wheels
O
Wash the wheels when washing the
vehicle to maintain their appearance.
O
Clean the inner side of the wheels
when the wheel is changed or the un-
derside of the vehicle is washed.
O
Do not use abrasive cleaners when
washing the wheels.
O
Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents
or corrosion. Such damage may cause
loss of pressure or poor seal at the
tire bead.
O
INFINITI recommends that the side
walls of road wheels be waxed to pro-
tect against road salt in areas where it
is used during winter.
