Owner`s manual

chains, make sure they are of proper size for
the tires on your vehicle and are installed
according to the chain manufacturer’s sugges-
tions. Use only SAE Class ‘‘S’’ chains.
Other types may damage your vehicle. Use
chain tensioners when recommended by the
tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit.
Loose end links of the tire chain must be
secured or removed to prevent the possibility
of whipping action damage to the fenders or
underbody. If possible, avoid fully loading
your vehicle when using tire chains. In addi-
tion, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your
vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle han-
dling and performance may be adversely
affected.
Do not use the chains on dry roads.
Tire chains must be installed only on
the rear wheels and not on the front
wheels.
Do not drive with tire chains on paved roads
which are clear of snow. Driving with chains
in such conditions can cause damage to the
various mechanisms of the vehicle due to
some overstress. When driving on clear paved
roads, be sure to change to 2WD.
Tire rotation
INFINITI recommends that tires be rotated
every 3,750 miles (6,000 km).
Wheel nut tightening torque:
87 to 108 ft-lb
(118 to 147 Nzm)
See ‘‘Flat tire’’ in the ‘‘In case of emergency’’
section for tire replacing procedures.
WARNING
O After rotating the tires, adjust the
tire pressure.
O Retighten the wheel nuts any time
after the aluminum wheels have
been run for the first 600 miles
(1,000 km) after re-installation.
