2006 INFINITI G35 TPMS reset

O If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Se-
rious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the light
still comes on while driving after ad-
justing the tire pressure, a tire may be
flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with
a spare tire as soon as possible.
O
When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash. Contact
your INFINITI dealer as soon as possible for
tire replacement and/or system resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS. CAUTION O The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
O If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
O Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Low washer fluid warning
light This light comes on when the washer tank
fluid is at a low level. Add washer fluid as
necessary. See ªWindow washer fluidº in
the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-yourselfº
section.
P position selecting warning
light (for Intelligent Key
system) The light blinks in red when the selector
lever is not in the P (Park) position and
you are outside the vehicle with the Intel-
ligent Key. When the warning light blinks, move the
selector lever to P position and return the
ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Rear Active Steer (RAS)
warning light (if so
equipped) If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate that there is a
malfunction with the Rear Active Steer
(RAS) portion of the steering system. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
For further information about the RAS sys-
tem, see ªRear Active Steer (RAS) systemº
in the ª5. Starting and drivingº section.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
RAS function will cease but driving can be
continued.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the in-
stallation of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
Additional information
O The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
O The TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not de- tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving).
O Tire pressure rises and falls de-
pending on the heat caused by the ve-
hicle's operation and the outside tem-
perature. Low outside temperature can
lower the temperature of the air inside
the tire which can cause a lower tire
inflation pressure. This may cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. If the warning light illuminates
in low ambient temperature, check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see ªLow tire
pressure warning lightº in the ª2. Instru-
ments and controlsº section and ªTire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)º in
the ª6. In case of emergencyº section.
WARNING O If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce ve-
hicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could re-
sult in serious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If you have
a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. (See ªFlat tireº in the ª6.
In case of emergencyº section for changing
a flat tire.)
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.

SYSTEM (TPMS) This vehicle is equipped with the tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, or flashing continuously one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn
you of it by the low tire pressure warning
light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). For more details, refer to
ªWarning/indicator lights and audible re-
mindersº in the ª2. Instruments and con-
trolsº section and ªTire pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS)º in the ª5. Starting
and drivingº section.
WARNING O If the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious per-
sonal injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
to turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O
Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire
sealant into the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.

tionsº in the ª9. Technical and consumer
informationº section for recommended
types and sizes of tires and wheels.
WARNINGO The use of tires other than those recom-
mended or the mixed use of tires of dif-
ferent brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted or radial), or tread patterns can ad-
versely affect the ride, braking, handling,
ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance,
tire chain clearance, speedometer calibra-
tion, headlight aim and bumper height.
Some of these effects may lead to accidents
and could result in serious personal injury.
O If the wheels are changed for any reason,
always replace with wheels which have
the same off-set dimension. Wheels of a
different off-set could cause premature
tire wear, degrade vehicle handling char-
acteristics and/or interference with the
brake discs. Such interference can lead
to decreased braking efficiency and/or
early brake pad wear.
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O Do not install a deformed wheel or tire
even if it has been repaired. Such wheels
or tires could have structural damage
and could malfunction without warning.
O The use of retread tires is not recom-
mended.
O For additional information regarding tires,
refer to ªImportant Tire Safety Informationº
(US) or ªTire Safety Informationº (Canada)
in the Warranty Information Booklet.
CAUTION Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or ra-
dial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tires on the front and
rear axles which will cause excessive tire
wear and may damage the transmission,
transfer case and differential gears (AWD
models).
Wheel balance Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle han-
dling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to transmission damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to ªImportant Tire Safety Informa-
tionº (US) or ªTire Safety Informationº
(Canada) in the INFINITI Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.
Care of wheels O Wash the wheels when washing the
vehicle to maintain their appearance.
O Clean the inner side of the wheels
when the wheel is changed or the un-
derside of the vehicle is washed.
