Infiniti QX60 (2019 year). Manual

Tire wear and damage

1. Wear indicator

2. Location mark

WARNING

∙ Tires should be periodically in-

spected for wear, cracking, bulg-
ing or objects caught in the tread.
If excessive wear, cracks, bulging
or deep cuts are found, the tire(s)
should be replaced.

∙ The original tires have built-in

tread wear indicators. When the
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.

∙ Tires degrade with age and use.

Have tires, including the spare,
over 6 years old checked by a
qualified technician because some
tire damage may not be obvious.
Replace the tires as necessary to
prevent tire failure and possible
personal injury.

∙ Improper service of the spare tire

may result in serious personal in-
jury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tire, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.

∙ For additional information re-

garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire

Safety

Information”

(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

Replacing wheels and tires

When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carrying
capacity as originally equipped. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Wheels and tires”
in the “Technical and consumer information”
section of this manual.

WARNING

∙ The use of tires other than those recom-

mended or the mixed use of tires of dif-
ferent brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted or radial), or tread patterns can
adversely affect the ride, braking, han-
dling, VDC system, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clear-
ance, speedometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height. Some of these
effects may lead to accidents and could
result in serious personal injury.

∙ For 2WD models, if your vehicle was

originally equipped with four tires that
were the same size and you are only re-
placing two of the four tires, install the
new tires on the rear axle. Placing new
tires on the front axle may cause loss of
vehicle control in some driving conditions
and cause an accident and personal
injury.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

∙ If the wheels are changed for any reason,

always replace with wheels which have
the same off-set dimension. Wheels of a
different off-set could cause premature
tire wear, degrade vehicle handling char-
acteristics,

affect

the

VDC

system

and/or interference with the brake discs.
Such interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad wear. For additional information on
wheel

off-set

dimensions,

refer

“Wheels and tires” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section of this
manual.

∙ When replacing a wheel without the

TPMS, such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.

∙ Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.

∙ The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it is

not handled correctly. Be careful when
handling the TPMS sensor.

∙ When replacing the TPMS sensor, the ID

registration may be required. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for ID registration.

∙ Do not use a valve stem cap that is not

specified by INFINITI. The valve stem cap
may become stuck.

∙ Be sure that the valve stem caps are cor-

rectly fitted. Otherwise the valve may be
clogged up with dirt and cause a malfunc-
tion or loss of pressure.

∙ Do not install a damaged or deformed

wheel or tire even if it has been repaired.
Such wheels or tires could have structural
damage and could fail without warning.

∙ The

use

retread

tires

not

recommended.

∙ 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.

Wheel balance

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle han-
dling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.

Wheel balance service should be performed
with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balanc-
ing the wheels on the vehicle could lead to
mechanical damage.

∙ 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.

Care of wheels

∙ Wash the wheels when washing the ve-

hicle to maintain their appearance.

∙ Clean the inner side of the wheels when

the wheel is changed or the underside of
the vehicle is washed.

∙ Do not use abrasive cleaners when

washing the wheels.

∙ Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or

corrosion. Such damage may cause loss
of pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.

∙ INFINITI recommends waxing the road

wheels to protect against road salt in
areas where it is used during winter.

Spare tire (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire)

When replacing a wheel without the TPMS
such as the spare tire, the TPMS will not
function.

Observe the following precautions if the
TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire must be
used. Otherwise, your vehicle could be dam-
aged or involved in an accident:

WARNING

∙ The spare tire should be used for emer-

gency use only. It should be replaced with
the standard tire at the first opportunity
to avoid possible tire or differential
damage.

∙ Drive carefully while the TEMPORARY

USE ONLY spare tire is installed. Avoid
sharp turns and abrupt braking while
driving.

∙ Periodically check spare tire inflation

pressure. Always keep the pressure of
the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire
at 420 kPa, 4.2 bar (60 psi).

∙ With the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare

tire installed do not drive the vehicle at
speeds faster than 50 mph (80 km/h).

∙ When driving on roads covered with

snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire should be used on the
rear wheels and the original tire used on
the front wheels (drive wheels).

∙ Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE

ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster rate
than the standard tire. Replace the spare
tire as soon as the tread wear indicators
appear.

∙ Do not use the spare tire on other

vehicles.

∙ Do not use more than one spare tire at the

same time.

∙ Do not tow a trailer when the TEMPO-

RARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed.

CAUTION

∙ Do not use tire chains on a TEMPORARY

USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains will not
fit properly and may cause damage to the
vehicle.

∙ Because the TEMPORARY USE ONLY

spare tire is smaller than the original tire,
ground clearance is reduced. To avoid
damage to the vehicle, do not drive over
obstacles. Also, do not drive the vehicle
through an automatic car wash since it
may get caught.

Some day-to-day and regular maintenance is
essential to maintain your vehicle good me-
chanical condition, as well as its emissions
and engine performance.

It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure
that the scheduled maintenance, as well as
general maintenance, is performed.

As the vehicle owner, you are the only one
who can ensure that your vehicle receives
proper maintenance. You are a vital link in the
maintenance chain.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

General maintenance includes those items
which should be checked during normal day-
to-day operation. They are essential for
proper vehicle operation. It is your responsi-
bility to perform these procedures regularly
as prescribed.

Performing general maintenance checks re-
quires minimal mechanical skill and only a few
general automotive tools.

These checks or inspections can be done by
yourself, a qualified technician or, if you pre-
fer, an INFINITI retailer.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

The maintenance items listed in this section
are required to be serviced at regular inter-
vals. However under severe driving condi-
tions, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance will be required.

WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE

If maintenance service is required or your
vehicle appears to malfunction, have the sys-
tems checked and serviced. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.

INFINITI technicians are well-trained spe-
cialists and are kept up-to-date with the lat-
est service information through technical bul-
letins, service tips and training programs.
They are completely qualified to work on
INFINITI vehicles before work begins.

You can be confident that an INFINITI retail-
er’s service department can perform the ser-
vice needed to meet the maintenance re-
quirements on your vehicle.

During the normal day-to-day operation of
the vehicle, general maintenance should be
performed regularly as prescribed in this sec-
tion. If you detect any unusual sounds, vibra-
tions or smells, be sure to check for the cause
or have it checked promptly. In addition, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer if you think that repairs are required.

When performing any checks or maintenance
work, closely observe the “Maintenance pre-
cautions” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of
this manual.

EXPLANATION OF GENERAL
MAINTENANCE ITEMS

basis. Make sure that the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other
lights are all operating properly and installed
securely. Also check headlight aim.

Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When checking
the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are miss-
ing, and check for any loose wheel nuts.
Tighten if necessary.

Tire rotation*: Tires should be rotated every
5,000 miles (8,000 km).

Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge of-
ten and always prior to long distance trips. If
necessary, adjust the pressure in all tires, in-
cluding the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive
wear.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components: Replace the TPMS
transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap
when the tires are replaced due to wear or
age.

Tire, wheel alignment and balance: If the ve-
hicle should pull 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 alignment. If the steering
wheel or seat vibrates at normal highway
speeds, wheel balancing may be needed.

For additional information regarding tires, re-
fer to “Important Tire Safety Information”
(US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in
the INFINITI Warranty Information Booklet.

Windshield: Clean the windshield on a regu-
lar basis. Check the windshield at least every
six months for cracks or other damage. Have
a damaged windshield repaired by a qualified

(Park) position mechanism: On a fairly steep
hill check that the vehicle is held securely with
the shift lever in the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.

Parking brake: Check the parking brake op-
eration regularly. The vehicle should be se-
curely held on a fairly steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking brake
needs adjustment, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat
belt system (for example, buckles, anchors,
adjusters and retractors) operate properly
and smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts, fraying,
wear or damage.

that the wipers do not streak.

Under the hood and vehicle

The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).

Battery (except for maintenance free bat-
teries)*: Check the fluid level in each cell. The
fluid should be at the bottom of the filler

opening. Vehicles operated in high tempera-
tures or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.

Battery (for maintenance free batteries)*:
This vehicle is equipped with a sealed main-
tenance free battery. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI dealer for service

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery discharge
and potential no-start conditions such as:

1. Installation or extended use of elec-

tronic accessories that consume battery
power when the engine is not running
(Phone chargers, GPS, DVD players,
etc.).

2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or

only driven short distances.

In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.

Brake fluid level*: Make sure that the brake
fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines
on the reservoir.

Engine coolant level*: Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.

Engine drive belt*: Make sure the drive belt is
not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.

Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine. Wait more than 15 minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.

Exhaust system: Make sure there are no
loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound
of the exhaust seems unusual or there is a
smell of exhaust fumes, immediately have the
exhaust system inspected. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. For additional information, refer to
“Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this manual.

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 if fuel fumes
are evident, check for the cause and have it
corrected immediately.

Power steering fluid level* and lines: Check
the level when the fluid is cold, with the en-
gine off. Check the lines for proper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, etc.

Radiator and hoses: Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure
the hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or
loose connections.

Underbody: The underbody is frequently ex-
posed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very
important to remove these substances, oth-
erwise rust may 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 may accumulate. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the “Appearance and care” sec-
tion of this manual.
