Foreword
Your INFINITI represents a new way of think-
ing about vehicle design. It integrates ad-
vanced engineering and superior craftsman-
ship with a simple, refined aesthetic sensitivity
associated with traditional 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.

fullest, we encourage you to read this Owner’s
Manual immediately. It explains all of the
features, controls and performance character-
istics of your INFINITI; it also provides impor-

portfolio. Always carry it with you when
you take your INFINITI to an authorized
retailer. The portfolio contents provide
complete information about all warranties
covering this vehicle, the periodic mainte-
nance required 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 satisfying
ownership experience for as long as you own
your car. Should you have any questions

tailer, please contact our Consumer Affairs
