Foreword
Your INFINITI represents a new way of
thinking about vehicle design. It inte-
grates advanced engineering and supe-
rior craftsmanship with a simple, refined
aesthetic sensitivity associated with tra-
ditional Japanese culture.
The result is a different notion of luxury
and beauty. The car itself is important,
but so is the sense of harmony that the
vehicle
evokes
in
its
driver,
and
the
sense of satisfaction you feel with the
INFINITI — from the way it looks and
drives to the high level of retailer service.
To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to
the fullest, we encourage you to read this
Owner’s Manual immediately. It explains
all of the features, controls and perfor-
mance characteristics of your INFINITI; it
also provides important instructions and
safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet
can be found in your Owner’s literature
portfolio. The INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide explains details about main-
taining and servicing your vehicle. Always
carry it with you when you take your
INFINITI to an authorized retailer. The
portfolio contents provide complete infor-
mation about all warranties covering this
vehicle,
the
periodic
maintenance
re-
quired to keep the warranties in effect as
well as the INFINITI Roadside Assistance
program.
Additionally, a separate Customer Care
and Lemon Law Information Booklet will
explain how to resolve any concerns you
may have with your vehicle, as well as
clarify
your
rights
under
your
state’s
lemon law.
INFINITI is dedicated to providing a satis-
fying ownership experience for as long as
you own your car. Should you have any
questions regarding your INFINITI or an
INFINITI dealer, please contact our Con-
sumer Affairs department at:
In U.S. 1-800-662-6200.
In Canada 1-800-361-4792.
READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE
SAFELY

tenance requirements, assisting you in
