Infiniti Q50 Workshop Manuals and Repair Manuals

To change a flat tire on your Infiniti Q50, start by finding a safe location away from traffic and engaging the parking brake. Locate the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench in your vehicle's trunk or undercarriage. Loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire, raise the vehicle with the jack, remove the lug nuts and flat tire, then install the spare tire and tighten the lug nuts. Finally, lower the vehicle, securely tighten the lug nuts, and double-check their tightness before driving.

To check the transmission fluid level in your Infiniti Q50, ensure that the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is at operating temperature. Locate the transmission dipstick, usually labeled with a yellow handle, and remove it. Wipe the dipstick clean, reinsert it fully, and then remove it again. The fluid level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the dipstick. If it is low, add the recommended transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.

To jump-start your Infiniti Q50, you will need a set of jumper cables and a functioning vehicle with a charged battery. Park the vehicles close enough for the jumper cables to reach both batteries. Attach one end of the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then the other end to the positive terminal of the charged battery. Attach one end of the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal of the charged battery, then the other end to an unpainted metal surface on the dead vehicle's engine block. Start the working vehicle, let it run for a few minutes, then attempt to start the dead vehicle. Once started, carefully remove the jumper cables in reverse order.

To program a new key fob for your Infiniti Q50, start by entering your vehicle and closing all doors. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine. Within 10 seconds, press and hold the LOCK button on the new key fob for at least 5 seconds, then release it. Repeat this step for any additional key fobs. Turn off the ignition, remove the key, and test the newly programmed key fob functions.

To replace a burned-out headlight bulb on your Infiniti Q50, start by opening the hood and locating the back of the headlight assembly. Disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the bulb, then remove the retaining clip or dust cover. Gently pull out the old bulb, insert the new bulb, and secure it with the retaining clip or dust cover. Finally, reconnect the electrical connector and test the new headlight bulb before closing the hood.

To reset the maintenance reminder light on your Infiniti Q50, start by turning the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine. Then, press and hold the trip odometer reset button until the maintenance reminder light flashes and turns off. Release the button, and the maintenance reminder light should be reset. It is important to reset the light after each scheduled maintenance to ensure accurate reminders for future services.

The oil in your Infiniti Q50 should be changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes are essential to maintain optimal engine performance and prolong the life of your vehicle. Neglecting to change the oil at the recommended intervals can lead to engine damage and decreased fuel efficiency.

The air filter in your Infiniti Q50 should be replaced approximately every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or as recommended in your vehicle's maintenance schedule. A clean air filter is crucial for proper engine performance and fuel efficiency, as it prevents dust, dirt, and debris from entering the engine. Neglecting to replace a dirty air filter can lead to reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and potential damage to engine components.

The cabin air filter in your Infiniti Q50 should be replaced approximately every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or as recommended in your vehicle's maintenance schedule. A clean cabin air filter is essential for maintaining high-quality air inside the vehicle, as it filters out dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Neglecting to replace a dirty cabin air filter can lead to reduced air quality, unpleasant odors, and potential HVAC system issues.

The recommended interval for replacing the brake pads on your Infiniti Q50 may vary depending on driving conditions and personal driving habits. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to inspect the brake pads at least every 15,000 miles and replace them if they are worn down to approximately 3mm thickness. Regularly checking and replacing worn brake pads is crucial for maintaining optimal braking performance and ensuring your safety on the road.

The recommended interval for replacing the serpentine belt on your Infiniti Q50 may vary depending on the model year and engine type. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to inspect the serpentine belt every 60,000 miles and replace it if there are signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Regularly checking and replacing a worn serpentine belt is crucial to avoid sudden belt failure, which can lead to engine damage and loss of power steering or other vital components.

The recommended tire pressure for your Infiniti Q50 may vary depending on the specific model and tire size. However, as a general guideline, most Infiniti Q50 models have a recommended tire pressure of around 33 to 35 psi (pounds per square inch) for all four tires. It is crucial to maintain the correct tire pressure to ensure optimal handling, fuel efficiency, and tire lifespan.

It is recommended to use a genuine Infiniti coolant or an equivalent high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant for your Infiniti Q50. This type of coolant provides the necessary corrosion protection and heat transfer properties required for your vehicle's cooling system. Using the correct coolant will help prevent engine overheating, maintain proper engine temperature, and ensure optimal performance.

It is recommended to use a high-quality synthetic engine oil with the viscosity grade recommended by Infiniti for your specific Q50 model. Synthetic oils offer superior protection and performance, especially in extreme temperatures and under heavy loads. Always check your owner's manual or consult with a certified Infiniti technician to ensure you are using the correct grade and specification of engine oil for your vehicle.
