After the ignition switch is pushed 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. If
you select the tire pressure information in the
display, the LOW PRESSURE information will be
displayed. The tire pressure for each tire will
also be displayed.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading Information
label. The low tire pressure warning light does
not automatically turn off when the tire pres-
sure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.
For additional information, see ªTIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)º in the ª5. Start-
ing and drivingº section and ªTIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)º in the ª6. In case
of emergencyº section. For the tire pressure
information display, see ªHOW TO USE INFO
BUTTONº in the ª4. Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systemsº section.TPMS malfunction :
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is
pushed ON. The light will remain on after 1
minute. Have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
For additional information, see ªTIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)º in the ª5. Start-
ing and drivingº section.
WARNING
c
If the light does not illuminate with the igni-
tion switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible. c
If the light illuminates while driving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt brak-
ing, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon
as possible. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure. 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 rec-
ommended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the
light stays on after adjusting the tire pres-
sure and driving over 16 MPH (25 km/h), have
the system checked by an INFINITI retailer. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare
tire as soon as possible.
c 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 for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer
as soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
