essential information
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
A 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.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS
with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual and
audible signals to help you inflate the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the tire inflation indicator:
1.
Move the shift lever to the
P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
2.
Place the ignition switch in the
ON position. Do not start the engine.
3.
Add air to the under-inflated tire and within a few seconds, the hazard \
warning lights will
start flashing.
4.
When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once an\
d the hazard
warning flashers will stop flashing.
5.
Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
MPH (25 km/h).
The Tire Pressure Low – Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning light
will disappear.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 min\
ute and then
remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checke\
d 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 prior to long
distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ea se 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)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
