Infiniti G35 Factory Jack Instructions

I will show you how and where to jack your Infiniti G35 using the factory jack and tools. Always ensure the vehicle is properly secured to prevent the vehicle from falling off the jack.
The infiniti G35 jack will life the car to allow you to remove the wheels and other basic functions.

Note: It is not possible to rotate the tires on an Infiniti G35 Coupe, the tires are different size and the tires installed are required to rotate in a specific direction.

To extend the life of the tires on your Infiniti G35 Coupe I recommend maintaining proper tire pressure and following up with tire balancing and alignment. The proper tire pressure can be found on the placard on the drivers side door panel, this is the optimum tire pressure for the vehicle since it takes into account the vehicle's suspension geometry and weight. Proper tire pressure enhances braking and handling performance. Proper tire inflation also helps with fuel efficiency. A tire that is low on air requires more power to rotate. (If you want to experiment for yourself, try pushing a heavy cart with a flat or low pressure tire then try it with it inflated to the proper pressure.)

If you own a sedan you can rotate the tires and this is recommended to extend the life of the tires.
