[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]ZONE VARIATION CHANGE PROCE-
DURE GUID-E09E8E8D-3C27-49AC-9DF4-41F27EDC4D72
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance.
In some areas, this difference can some-
times be great enough to cause false
compass readings. Follow these instruc-
tions to set the variance for your particular
location if this happens:
1. Push the
switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance
number on the zone map.
3. Push the
switch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After
you release the switch, the display will
show a compass direction within a few
seconds. .
If the compass deviates from the
correct indication soon after re-
peated adjustment, have the com-
pass checked at an INFINITI retailer. .
The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct compass point when the vehicle
moves to an area where the geo-
magnetism is stabilized.)
CAUTION . Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the
operation of the compass.
. When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened with
glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner
directly on the mirror as it may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror hous-
ing.

carefully to the nearest INFINITI retailer.
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system warning light (orange; if so
equipped) GUID-FF29B1E7-F6C4-403D-8621-C6A7F86246EF
This light comes on if there is a malfunc-
tion in the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system.
If the warning light comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine, resume driving and set
the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the
vehicle is still driveable under normal
conditions, have the vehicle checked at
an INFINITI retailer.
Intelligent Key warning light GUID-7E046839-8973-408F-BF89-AB2223E4A062
After the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, this light comes on for about
2 seconds and then turns off.
This light warns of a malfunction with the
Intelligent Key system.
If the light comes on while the engine is
stopped, it may be impossible to start the
engine. If the light comes on while the engine is running, you can drive the
vehicle. However in these cases, contact
an INFINITI retailer for repair as soon as
possible.
Low tire pressure warning
light GUID-4B828BB9-9D9C-4BA9-B41A-9EF6D3CB156D
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
monitors 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 pushed ON, this
light illuminates for about 1 second and
turns off.
Low tire pressure warning: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning also
appears on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display.
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. The low tire pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure 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.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning is
active as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see “ Dot matrix
liquid crystal display ” (P.2-20), “ Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.5-4)
and “ Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) ” (P.6-2).
TPMS malfunction: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is pushed ON. The light will remain
on after the 1 minute. Have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning does not appear if
the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “ Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.5-4).

[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]2-16 Instruments and controlsWARNING. If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch pushed ON, have the
vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible.
. 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.
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 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 illuminates while driving
after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire
may be flat. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible. . When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after the 1
minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION . The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Master warning light GUID-BFD238A1-B056-42EA-B9A0-FCCF2B17501F

Preview Function warning light
(orange; if so equipped) GUID-B4E486C7-1748-4EBD-A37A-79C9F389E7E0
The light comes on if there is a malfunction
in the Brake Assist (with Preview Function)
system.
If the warning light comes on, park the
vehicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine, resume driving and set
the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the

The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first occur
only when the brake pedal is depressed.
After more wear of the brake pad, the
sound will always be heard even if the
brake pedal is not depressed. Have the
brakes checked as soon as possible if the
warning sound is heard. GUID-A0B240BC-9033-4FA8-8F5D-92CD638E559B

and tires ” (P.8-40). Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and

Black plate (103,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to a collision,
which could result in serious personal injury
or death.
