essential information
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE 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.

After the tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning message and the low tire pressure
warning light will extinguish.

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 reta\
iler.

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 illuminates, \
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
“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.

Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display
1 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 extinguish when the vehicle
detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the
reset button
2 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.
