WARNING
Always make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly se-
cured after use.Such items can become

To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be fol-
lowed.
If the battery of a vehicle equipped with
INFINITI Intelligent Key™ is discharged, the
ignition switch cannot be moved from the
LOCK position, even using the mechanical
key or the valet key. Connect the jumper
cables to another vehicle, as in the case of
a discharged battery, and then the ignition
switch can be moved from the LOCK posi-
tion. Then, jump start the vehicle.
WARNING
If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
Explosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
the battery.
Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a cor-
rosive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.
Keep battery out of the reach of
children.
The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use ofan improperly rated battery
can damage your vehicle.
Whenever working on or near a battery,
always wear suitableeye protectors (for
example, goggles or industrial safety
spectacles) and remove rings, metal
bands, or any other jewelry. Do not lean
over the battery when jump starting.
Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause se-
rious injury.

cooling fan. It could come on at any
time. Keep hands and other objects
