Infiniti Q60 Coupe (2021 year). Manual in english

Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe
the vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution,
then wipe clean with a dry soft cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in order
to maintain the appearance of the leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Some
fabric protectors contain chemicals that
may stain or bleach the seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to
clean the meter and gauge lens.

WARNING

Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot
steam cleaners) on the seat. This can
damage the seat or occupant classifica-
tion sensors. This can also affect the
operation of the air bag system and
result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION

Never use benzine, thinner, or any
similar material.

For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dam-
pened with water. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or any
kind of solvent or paper towel with a
chemical cleaning agent. They will
scratch or cause discoloration to the
lens.

Do not spray any liquid such as water
on the meter lens. Spraying liquid
may cause the system to malfunction.

Small dirt particles can be abrasive
and damaging to the leather surfaces
and should be removed promptly. Do
not use saddle soap, car waxes,
polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, sol-
vents, detergents or ammonia-based
cleaners as they may damage the
leather’s natural finish.

Only use fabric protectors approved
by INFINITI.

Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may
damage the lens cover.

LEATHER CLEANING KIT (if so
equipped)

Spray onto the leather cleaning cloth, then
gently wipe the surface of leather. Use a dry
towel to absorb any excess moisture.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently
because soiling on such surfaces is much
more visible.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions supplied with the leather cleaning kit.
You can obtain the leather cleaning kit from
an INFINITI retailer or other authorized
repair shop.

CAUTION

Do not leave the leather cleaning kit
inside the vehicle. The leather cleaning
kit left in a closed vehicle can become
very hot.

AIR FRESHENERS

Most air fresheners use a solvent that could
affect the vehicle interior. If you use an air
freshener, take the following precautions:

Hanging-type air fresheners can cause

permanent discoloration when they con-
tact vehicle interior surfaces. Place the

air freshener in a location that allows it
to hang free and not contact an interior
surface.

Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip

on the vents. These products can cause
immediate damage and discoloration
when spilled on interior surfaces.

Carefully read and follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions before using air fresh-
eners.

FLOOR MATS

WARNING

To avoid potential pedal interference
that may result in a collision, injury or
death:

NEVER place a floor mat on top of
another floor mat in the driver front
position or install them upside down
or backwards.

Use only genuine INFINITI floor mats
or equivalent floor mats that are
specifically designed for use in your
vehicle model and model year.

Properly position the mats in the
floorwell using the floor mat posi-
tioning hook. See “Floor mat installa-
tion” (P.7-6).

Make sure the floor mat does not
interfere with pedal operation.

Periodically check the floor mats to
make sure they are properly installed.

After cleaning the vehicle interior,
check the floor mats to make sure
they are properly installed.

The use of genuine INFINITI floor mats can
extend the life of your vehicle carpet and
make it easier to clean the interior. Mats
should be maintained with regular cleaning
and replaced if they become excessively
worn.

Floor mat installation

Your vehicle is equipped with floor mat
positioning hook(s). The number and shape
of the floor mat positioning hook(s) for each
seating position varies depending on the
vehicle.
When installing genuine INFINITI floor mats,
follow the installation instructions provided
with the floor mat and the following:
1. Position the floor mat in the floorwell so

that the mat grommet holes are aligned
with the hook(s).

2. Secure the grommet holes into the hook

(s) and ensure that the floor mat is
properly positioned.

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

3. Make sure the floor mat does not

interfere with pedal operation. With the
ignition in the OFF position and the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, fully apply
and release all pedals. The floor mat
must not interfere with pedal operation
or prevent the pedal from returning to its
normal position. It is recommended you
see an INFINITI retailer for details about
installing the floor mats in your vehicle.

MOST COMMON FACTORS
CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE
CORROSION

The accumulation of moisture-retaining

dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.

Damage to paint and other protective

coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor traffic accidents.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN-
FLUENCE THE RATE OF COR-
ROSION

Moisture

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on the
vehicle body underside can accelerate corro-
sion. Wet floor coverings will not dry
completely inside the vehicle, and should be
removed for drying to avoid floor panel
corrosion.

Relative humidity

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of high
relative humidity, especially those areas
where the temperatures stay above freezing
where atmospheric pollution exists, or where
road salt is used.

Temperature

A temperature increase will accelerate the
rate of corrosion to those parts which are
not well ventilated.

Air pollution

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in
the air in coastal areas, or heavy road salt
use will accelerate the corrosion process.
Road salt will also accelerate the disintegra-
tion of paint surfaces.

TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE
FROM CORROSION

Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep

the vehicle clean.

Always check for minor damage to the

paint and repair it as soon as possible.

Keep drain holes at the bottom of the

doors open to avoid water accumulation.

Check the underbody for accumulation of

sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with
water as soon as possible.

CAUTION

NEVER remove dirt, sand or other
debris from the passenger compart-
ment by washing it out with a hose.
Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner.

Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electronic com-
ponents inside the vehicle as this may
damage them.

Chemicals used for road surface deicing are
extremely corrosive. They accelerate corro-
sion and deterioration of underbody compo-
nents such as the exhaust system, fuel and
brake lines, brake cables, floor pan and
fenders.

In winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically.

For additional protection against rust and
corrosion, which may be required in some
areas, it is recommended you consult an
INFINITI retailer.

CORROSION PROTECTION

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

8-2

Do-it-yourself

When performing any inspection or main-
tenance work on your vehicle, always take
care to prevent serious accidental injury to
yourself or damage to the vehicle. The
following are general precautions which
should be closely observed.

WARNING

Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the
vehicle from moving. Move the shift
lever to P (Park).

Be sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF or LOCK position when per-
forming any parts replacement or
repairs.

Never connect or disconnect the
battery or any transistorized compo-
nent while the ignition switch is in the
ON position.

Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.

If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving

parts.

It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.

Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.

If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.

Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.

Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel tank and the
battery.

Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warn-
ing, even if the ignition key is in the
OFF position and the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always dis-
connect the negative battery cable
before working near the fan.

Because the fuel lines are under high
pressure even when the engine is off,
it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for service of the

fuel filter or fuel lines.

CAUTION

Do not work under the hood while the
engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down.

Avoid direct contact with used en-
gine oil and coolant. Improperly dis-
posed engine oil, coolant, and/or
other vehicle fluids can damage the
environment. Always conform to lo-
cal regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluid.

This “8. Do-it-yourself” section gives in-
structions regarding only those items which
are relatively easy for an owner to perform.
A genuine INFINITI Service Manual is also
available. (See “Owner’s Manual/Service
Manual order information” (P.10-24).)
You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in operating
difficulties or excessive emissions, and could
affect your warranty coverage.

If in doubt

about any servicing, it is recommended you
have it done by an INFINITI retailer.
