Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
A Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low —
Add Air warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display
1 and the low tire pressure
warning light 2 will illuminate when one or more
tires are low in 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 tire 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 and 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
Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add Air warning message and low tire pressure
warning light will extinguish.

When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and then remains 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 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, 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. Please refer to the
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” 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.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (if so equipped)
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can learn and consolidate the functions of up to three
different hand-held transmitters, operating items such as garage doors, property gates,
outdoor and indoor lights or alarm systems.

To program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Position the handheld transceiver 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away from the HomeLink surface,
keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
• Press and hold the desired HomeLink button and the handheld transmitter button
simultaneously until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.
• Both buttons may be released when the indicator light flashes rapidly.

To verify the programing is complete, press and hold the HomeLink button and observe the
indicator light:
• A solid, continuous light indicates the programing is complete and the HomeLink button
will activate your device.
• A blinking light that turns to a solid, continuous light after 2 seconds indicates additional
steps are required to complete the programing.

An additional person may make the remaining steps easier. To complete the
programing process:
• At the receiver of the device that you are programing to the HomeLink button, press and
release the learn or smart button (the name may vary by manufacturer, but it is usually
located near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). You have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate the following step.
• Press and hold the programed HomeLink button for 2 seconds and release.

You may have to repeat the previous two steps up to 3 times to complete the programing
process. HomeLink should now activate your device.
