®System. The
following lights will come on (if so
equipped):
,or,,,,,
The following lights come on briefly and
then go off (if so equipped):
,or,,,,
If any light does not come on, it may
indicate a burned-out bulb or an open
circuit in the electrical system. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed in the vehicle information dis-
play between the speedometer and tach-
ometer. (See “Vehicle information display”
(P.2-21).)
WARNING LIGHTS
12-volt battery charge warning
light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the 12-volt battery charge warn-
ing light illuminates. After starting the
hybrid system, the light turns off.
If the light continues to illuminate after
starting the hybrid system, it may indicate
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS

Forward emergency braking
system warning light (if so
equipped)
This light illuminates when the forward
emergency braking system is set to OFF on
the lower display.
If the light illuminates when the forward
emergency braking system is ON, it may
indicate that the system is unavailable.
See “Forward emergency braking system”
(P.5-89) for more details.
Low fuel warning light
This light illuminates when the fuel in the
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the fuel
gauge reaches the 0 (empty) position.
There will be a small reserve of fuel
remaining in the tank when the fuel gauge
reaches the 0 position.
Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
monitors the tire pressure of all tires.
The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure and flat tire, or indicates that the TPMS is not functioning
properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, 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.
The
“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
also appears in the vehicle information
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 “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
is active as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicleinformation display”
(P.2-21),“Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-4)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P.6-3).
Flat tire warning: The flat tire warning warns of a flat tire.
If the vehicle is being driven with one or
more flat tires, the low tire pressure
warning light will illuminate continuously
and a chime will sound for 10 seconds. A
“ Flat Tire - Visit dealer” warning also
appears in the vehicle information display.
The chime will only sound at the first
indication of a flat tire and the warning
light will illuminate continuously. When the
flat tire warning is activated, have the
system reset and the tire checked, and
replaced if necessary, by an INFINITI
retailer. Even if the tire is inflated to the
specified COLD tire pressure, the warning
light will continue to illuminate until the
system is reset by an INFINITI retailer.
Your vehicle can be driven for a limited
time on a flat tire. See “Run-flat tires”(P.6-
4) and “Run-flat tires” (P.8-36).
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
Instruments and controls2-15

2-16Instruments and controls
approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The
light will remain on after the 1 minute.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer. The“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”
warning does not appear if the low tire
pressure warning light illuminates to in-
dicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-4).
WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.
. 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.
. Although you can continue driving with a
punctured run-flat tire, remember that
vehicle handling stability is reduced,
which could lead to an accident and
personal injury. Also, driving a long
distance at high speeds may damage
the tires.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
approximately 93 miles (150 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual dis-
tance the vehicle can be driven on a flat
tire depends on outside temperature,
vehicle load, road conditions and other
factors. .
If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punctured
run-flat tire, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. The tire may be seriously
damaged and need to be replaced.
. When a wheel is replaced, 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 the 1 minute. Contact your
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible for
tire replacement and/or system reset-
ting.
. 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.
