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.
The unit can be converted in the LANGUAGE
& UNITS settings display. (See “How to use
SETTING button” (P.4-15) for details.)
To change the measurement units, select

gation system) with the INFINITI controller
and push the ENTERbutton.
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.

HOW TO READ DISPLAYED LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with re-
ference to the bumper line
*Aare dis-
played on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
. Red line
*1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
*2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
*3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
*4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
*5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predictive course lines
*6:
Indicate the predictive course when back-
ing up. The predictive course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the
steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering wheel
is in the neutral position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width
of the predictive course lines are wider
than the actual width and course.
WARNING
. Always turn and check that it is safe to
park your car before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course line
may not be displayed correctly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line. .
The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide line should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
level paved surface. The distance viewed
on the monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed ob-
jects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When backing up the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. Use
the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.

HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved,
level surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
. Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the bird-eye view are greatly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course line
and the bird-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in
the monitor are closer than they appear.
Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.
. The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
. The distance between objects viewed in
the rearview differs from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the rearview will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in
the rearview and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line. .
The displayed lines on the rearview will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
5-4Starting and driving
cause a fire.
CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline seriously reduce
the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions
in the ignition, fuel injection, or elec-
trical systems can cause overrich fuel
flow into the three-way catalyst, causing
it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the
engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of
performance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the vehicle
inspected promptly by an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause
the engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’
s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information
.The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may
not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).
. The low tire pressure warning light does
not automatically 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 also
appears on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low
tire pressure is detected. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when
the low tire pressure warning light
turns off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
appears each time the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position as long as the low tire pressure warning light
remains illuminated.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending
on the heat caused by the vehicle’s
operation and the outside temperature.
Low outside temperature can lower the
temperature of the air inside the tire
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If
the warning light illuminates in low
ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.
. You can also check the pressure of all
tires (except the spare tire) on the
display screen. The order of the tire
pressure figures displayed on the
screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position. See
“Tire Pressure information” (P.4-11).
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-16) and“Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-
3).WARNING
. If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates or LOW PRESSURE informa-
tion is displayed on the monitor screen
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 increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. 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. (See “Flat tire” (P.6-3) for
changing a flat tire.)
. 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 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.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
. Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
.
Facilities or electric devices using simi-
lar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies is being used in or near the
vehicle.
. If a computer (or similar equipment) or
a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLL-
OVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of control
or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-
sive speed, high speed cornering, or
sudden steering maneuvers, because
these driving practices could cause you to
lose control of your vehicle.
As with any
vehicle, a loss of control could result in a
collision with other vehicles or objects, or
cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if
the loss of control causes the vehicle to
slide sideways. Be attentive at all times,
and avoid driving when tired. Never drive
when under the influence of alcohol or
drugs (including prescription or over-the-
counter drugs which may cause drowsi-
ness). Always wear your seat belt as
outlined in the“Seat belts”(P.1-11) of this
manual, and also instruct your passengers
to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted or improperly belted person is
significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than
passenger cars to make them capable of
performing in a variety of on-pavement and
off-road applications. This gives them a
higher center of gravity than ordinary cars.
An advantage of higher ground clearance is
a better view of the road, allowing you to
anticipate problems. However, they are not
designed for cornering at the same speeds
as conventional passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road con-
ditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns
or abrupt maneuvers, particularly at high
speeds. As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted or improperly belted person is
significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.
Be sure to read
“Driving safety precau-
tions” (P.5-9).
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
If the right side or left side wheels
unintentionally leave the road surface,
maintain control of the vehicle by following
the procedure below. Please note that this
procedure is only a general guide. The
vehicle must be driven as appropriate
based on the conditions of the vehicle,
road and traffic.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Do not apply the brakes.
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering
wheel with both hands and try to hold a straight course.
4. When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.
5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the vehicle to follow the road while the
vehicle speed is reduced. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle back onto
the road surface until vehicle speed is
reduced.
6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn the steering wheel until both tires
return to the road surface. When all
tires are on the road surface, steer the
vehicle to stay in the appropriate
driving lane..If you decide that it is not safe to
return the vehicle to the road surface
based on vehicle, road or traffic
conditions, gradually slow the vehi-
cle to a stop in a safe place off the
road.
