WARNING
. Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver ’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.

Fuel Economy information
The approximate distance to empty, aver-
age fuel economy and current fuel econo-
my will be displayed for reference.
To reset the average fuel economy (Avg
Fuel Econ), select the“Reset Fuel Eco ”or
“ Reset ”key.
If the “Fuel Eco History” or“View ”key is
selected, the average fuel consumption
history will be displayed in graph form
along with the average for the previous
Reset-to-Reset period.
The unit can be converted between “US ”
and “Metric ”. (See “How to use SETTING
button ”later in this section.)
The fuel economy information may differ
from the information displayed on the
vehicle information display. This is due to
the timing difference in updating the
information and does not indicate a mal-
function.
For models without the navigation system,
the information can be displayed by
pushing the
ECON button on the
control panel.

TIRE PRESSURE information
WARNING
. 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 approximately 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.
. Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
The tire pressure will be displayed for
reference.
The pressure indication “** kPa” or“**
psi ”on the screen means that the pressure
is being measured. After a few driving
trips, the pressure for each tire will be
displayed.
For models with navigation system, to
change the measurement units, select the
“ Select Units ”key with the INFINITI con-
troller and push the ENTER button.

The unit can be converted in the LANGUAGE
& UNITS settings display. (See“How to use
SETTING button ”later in this section for
details.)
In case of low tire pressure, LOW PRES-
SURE information will be displayed on the
screen. Check the pressure of all tires.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle ’s traveling
condition and the temperature.
After tire rotation is performed, tire pres-
sure will not be displayed in the actual tire
position. Drive the vehicle at over 25 MPH
(40 km/h) for approximately 10 minutes to
reset the display.
For more details about the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS), see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) ”in the “5.
Starting and driving ”section.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC
position, the “Tire Pressure” key is not
displayed.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms:
. MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is
the most well known compressed
digital audio file format. This format
allows for near “CD quality ”sound, but
at a fraction of the size of normal audio
files. MP3 conversion of an audio track
can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually
no perceptible loss in quality. The compression reduces certain parts of
sound that seem inaudible to most
people.
. WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality.
. AAC/M4A —Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smaller
in size and deliver a higher quality of
sound than MP3.
. Bit rate —Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency —Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second. .
Multisession —Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag —The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.
