CAUTIONRunning the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light on could cause serious
damage to the engine almost immediately.
Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do
so.
Intelligent Key warning light
(for Intelligent Key system)This light comes on in green when it is
possible to turn the ignition switch.
When the light comes on in red, it is not
possible to turn the switch.
O The warning light blinks in red when
the Intelligent Key is outside the ve-
hicle with the ignition switch in the
ACC or ON position. Confirm the loca-
tion of the key as soon as possible
when the warning light blinks in red.
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you while driving the vehicle.
O The warning light goes off about 10
seconds after the Intelligent Key is
brought inside the vehicle. Low fuel warning light This light comes on when the fuel in the
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the fuel
gauge reaches the E (Empty) position.
There will be a small reserve of fuel re-
maining in the fuel tank when the fuel
gauge needle reaches the E (Empty) posi-
tion.
Low tire pressure warning
light Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that moni-
tors the tire pressure of all tires except
the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is turned ON, this
light illuminates for about 1 second and
turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn the light
OFF.
For additional information, see ªTire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS)º in the ª5.
Starting and drivingº section and in the
ª6. In case of emergencyº section.
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly,
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute when the
ignition switch is turned ON. The light will
remain on after the 1 minute. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
For additional information, see ªTire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS)º in the ª5.
Starting and drivingº section.
WARNING O If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch turned ON, have the ve-
hicle checked by an INFINITI dealer as
soon as possible.

To lock, close the fuel-filler door and lock
the doors.
FUEL-FILLER CAP The fuel-filler cap is a ratcheting type.
Tighten the cap clockwise until ratcheting
clicks are heard.

while refueling.
WARNING O Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seriously injured if it is misused or mishandled. Al-
ways stop the engine and do not smoke
or allow open flames or sparks near the
vehicle when refueling.
O Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap
a third of a turn, and wait for any
ªhissingº sound to stop to prevent fuel
from spraying out and possibly causing
personal injury.
O Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank af-
ter the fuel pump nozzle shuts off auto-
matically. Continued refueling maySPA1562A

The air conditioning system in your
INFINITI vehicle is charged with a refriger-
ant designed with the environment in
mind. This refrigerant will not harm the
earth's ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioning system. See ªCa-
pacities and recommended fuel/
lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical and con-
sumer informationº section for air condi-
tioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
An INFINITI dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioning system.
WARNINGThe air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
proper equipment. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the POWER or RADIO
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
key should be turned to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-
of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are de-
signed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general charac-
teristics of FM, AM and satellite radio sig-
nals that can affect radio reception
quality in a moving vehicle, even when
the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a
given reception area, and do not indicate
any malfunction in your radio system. Remember that a moving vehicle is not
the ideal place to listen to a radio. Be-
cause of the movement, reception condi-
tions will constantly change. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against
ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.

THREE WAY CATALYST The three way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gas in the converter is
burned at high temperatures to help re-
duce pollutants.
WARNINGO The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
O Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
CAUTIONO Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline will seriously re- duce the three-way catalyst's ability to
help reduce exhaust pollutants.
O Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if no-
ticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected.
Have the vehicle inspected promptly by
an INFINITI dealer.
O Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
O Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
O Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver's responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale.
