Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display
01 when the fuel-filler
cap is not tightened correctly.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click
is heard.
The warning message will disappear when the veh icle

or button 02 is pressed. If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction

Indicator Light
may illuminate.For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and
the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A
Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add
Air warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display
01 and the low tire pressure
warning light 02 will illuminate when one or more
tires are low on pressure and air is needed.



•


The tire pressures should be checked when

the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold
after the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours
or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The Flat Tire
Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add Air warning
message and low tire pressure warning light will disappear.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and then r\
emains on, the
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an INFINITI\
retailer.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicl\
e’s operation and
the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperatu\
re of the air
inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This m\
ay cause the low
tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illumina\
tes, check the tire
pressure in your tires.

•

Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always pr\
ior to long

distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ease refer to
section 9, “Technical and consumer information”, in your Owner’\
s Manual for the location
of the Tire and Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
