When you buy your new INFINITI, you not only receive a stylish, luxury vehicle, but you also get one of the best new car warranties on the market to protect it. As your INFINITI dealership, we'd like to guide you through your 2024 car warranty so you can learn more about your coverage. Basic Coverage This warranty covers most of the systems and components in your INFINITI against the possibility of any factory-related situation involving your car's materials or workmanship. Unlike many other vehicle warranties that apply for only three years or 36,000 miles, your basic coverage protects your car for four years or 48,000 miles, whichever occurs first. more Any necessary repairs under this warranty will be performed at no charge. Certain types of damage are not covered. Examples of these exclusions are damage due to environmental conditions, damage from improper maintenance repairs, and fire damage. All the exclusions are listed in your warranty information booklet. Powertrain Coverage The powertrain covers four of your car's most important systems, namely the engine, the transmission and transaxle, the drivetrain, and the restraint system. Components in these systems are protected against any defect for six years or 72,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The full list of components covered by this warranty can be found in your warranty booklet. Corrosion Coverage This warranty protects all the sheet metal in your car against perforation damage. Perforation is corrosion that penetrates the metal from one side to the other. Your INFINITI is protected against perforation or rust-through, so you don't need to apply any other rust-proofing. If perforation damage occurs, the affected panel or panels will be replaced free of charge. This coverage applies for the first seven years regardless of mileage. Federal Emissions Control Warranties The emissions system is responsible for converting dangerous chemicals produced by the engine into harmless ones to reduce pollution. This system is covered by two warranties. Emission Defects Warranty All but three components in the emissions system are protected against any defect for four years or 60,000 miles. The onboard diagnostic device, catalytic converter, and engine control module are covered for eight years or 80,000 miles. Emissions Performance Warranty The performance warranty applies if your car fails an emissions test and this failure would require you to pay a fine. If this happens, any repairs necessary to ensure your INFINITI passes the test will be performed free of charge. It applies for the first two years or 24,000 miles.

When it comes to ensuring the longevity and performance of your INFINITI, the significance of maintaining optimal tire condition cannot be overstated. Tires are the only point of contact between your car and the road, playing a major role in safety, fuel efficiency, and your overall driving experience. Here are some of the key signs that will let you know when it's time to visit your INFINITI dealer for new tires. Visible Tread Wear Look for bald spots, uneven wear patterns, or the tread wear indicator bars becoming flush with the tire's surface. more Sidewall Damage Regularly inspect the sidewalls of your tires for cracks, cuts, or bulges. These can indicate internal damage and are a sign that your tires are at risk of failure. Vibrations and Noise Unusual vibrations or increased road noise while driving can be symptoms of tire issues. These can be a result of uneven tire wear or internal damage to the tire. Reduced Traction Noticeable loss of traction, especially in wet conditions, is a clear sign that your tires may no longer be safe. If you notice that your vehicle no longer has the traction it used to, the tires will need to be replaced. Handling Issues If your vehicle isn't handling as well as it used to, particularly during turns or braking, worn tires could be the culprit. Tire Age Tires typically need to be replaced every six years or so, regardless of their outward appearance. The rubber compounds in the tires deteriorate over time, compromising the tire's integrity and performance. Mileage Check Depending on your driving habits and conditions, tires may need replacement sooner than normal. High mileage, frequent short trips, or driving on rough roads can accelerate tire wear.

Is the battery warning light on your dashboard on? Are the electronic accessories malfunctioning, or is it hard to start your car? If you answered yes to any of these questions, your INFINITI needs a new car battery from your INFINITI dealer. The Check Engine and Battery Light Is On If your car battery is weak and failing, it can cause the check engine and battery lights to turn on. The lights go on when the voltage fluctuates. Ask your INFINITI technician to perform a battery test to check if your battery is still holding a proper charge and if you need to replace it. more You Have Problems With the Electronic Accessories A weak battery will cause your electronic accessories to start acting up. Suddenly, you'll have issues with the power locks, the headlights will be dimmer than usual, and even your windshield wipers will move slower. It's Hard To Start Your Car If your car takes longer than usual to start or you hear a clicking sound when turning the key in the ignition, it could mean your vehicle's battery is failing - a clear warning sign. Ignoring this could end up with your car not starting at all. If you have to use jumper cables more than once in a short time, it's best to get a new battery as soon as possible. You Notice Corrosion Around the Terminals If you notice a white substance around the terminals, that's corrosion, which can cause voltage issues, making it difficult to start your car. Fortunately, if the corrosion isn't too severe, you can remove it using baking soda, water, and a brush. However, replacing your battery is best if the corrosion has already started gnawing away at the metal. The Battery Case Is Damaged Exposure to extreme hot and cold temperatures could cause damage to the battery case. If the battery case is swollen or has visible cracks, replacing the battery is the only thing you can do. Your Battery Is Older Than Three Years A good-quality battery is expected to last for three to five years. However, once it's three years old, get it tested regularly. Regular battery tests will help you decide whether to replace it with a new one to avoid unexpected breakdowns. If you have battery problems or your battery is three years old, visit J.B.A. INFINITI of Ellicott City today. Our certified INFINITI technicians will perform a battery test to determine the condition of your car battery, and if you need a new one, install a reliable quality battery that offers dependable, long-lasting power.

If you want your INFINITI to stay reliable, get a regular oil change from your INFINITI dealer. Fresh engine oil lubricates the moving components and protects your engine from the harmful effects of friction, heat, and wear, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and remains in good condition, ultimately extending its lifespan. Oil and Filter Change Intervals If you want to prolong the lifespan of your INFINITI engine, it's crucial to schedule oil and filter changes twice a year. Changing the engine oil and filter every six months can significantly decrease wear and tear by creating a lubricating shield between the moving engine components. The oil and filter change intervals for your specific INFINITI model are in your owner's manual. You can also speak to your INFINITI technician for more information. more Premium Engine Oil Premium engine oil does more than lubricate the engine. The oil also helps remove harmful engine deposits and impurities and prevents corrosion, ensuring your engine stays cleaner for longer.

Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil reduces stress under harsh conditions while safeguarding your engine against extreme temperatures. Genuine INFINITI Oil Filters Failing to replace the filter regularly can cause dirt and debris to circulate, leading to increased wear, poor performance, and, ultimately, shortening the life of your engine. We highly recommend using genuine INFINITI oil filters to keep your engine free of contaminants and ensure optimal engine performance. INFINITI Express Service Oil and Filter Changes You can easily replace your oil and filter through INFINITI Express Service - quickly, conveniently, and reliably.

Broken wiring connections and burned-out bulbs can prevent you from driving your vehicle safely. You should visit your INFINITI dealership at the first sign that you need new headlights so you can stay safe on the road. Flickering, dimness, and haziness are all signs that you need to replace the headlights on your vehicle. Certain types of headlights, such as halogen lights, can lose up to 20% of their illumination before the bulb burns out. LED headlights also show visible signs of dimness before the bulbs are blown. more Another sign that you may need to replace your headlights may be part of your headlights not working. If your daytime headlights work fine, but your high beams are busted, then you need to replace your headlight unit altogether. You should always replace both headlights at once. Should You Also Replace Your Taillights? If the bulbs of your taillights are the same as those of your headlights, then it might be a good idea to have these lights replaced simultaneously. Replacing all the lights on your vehicle at once, including your brake lights, can save you time. During your headlight replacement, your INFINITI mechanic will examine other lights on your vehicle to assess wiring connections and ensure all of your lights are in good operational condition. How Long Do Vehicle Lights Last? The headlights, taillights, and brake lights on your vehicle can last anywhere from 500 hours to 30,000 hours, depending on the type of bulb you have. The cheapest bulbs are halogen bulbs, which will last between 500 and 1,000 hours. Usually, you will have to replace halogen bulbs once or twice a year. HID bulbs should last for 2,000 hours, and xenon bulbs tend to last for 10,000 hours. Many modern vehicles use LED bulbs for all lighting fixtures on the vehicle, which is ideal since these bulbs can last for 30,000 hours or up to 12 years. If you want to have longer-lasting bulbs on your vehicle, you can ask your mechanic about upgrading your lights with bulbs that are compatible with your vehicle. How Soon Should You Replace Your Headlights? When it comes to headlights, it's better to avoid procrastination. As soon as you notice dim or hazy headlights, you should schedule an appointment at your dealership's service center, since the last thing you want is to be driving without headlights. You need both your daytime running lights and your high beam headlamps to safely operate your vehicle with proper visibility of the road. The easiest way to replace the headlights on your vehicle is to visit your local dealership. If you are noticing issues with your headlights or other lights on your vehicle, book your service appointment at J.B.A. INFINITI of Ellicott City today.
