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 low tire pressure warning
light
2 will extinguish.

When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for 1 minute and then remains on, the
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is recomme\
nded you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.

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
2 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 the
“Technical and consumer information” (section 9) of 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.

Direct Response Hybrid™ System Warning Light
This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is
in the ON position and will extinguish when the
hybrid system is started.

The light will also illuminate when a malfunction
occurs in the electric motor or hybrid system.

When this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle \
in a safe location
and contact an INFINITI retailer.

If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate\
that the Li-ion
battery charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

INFINITI Drive Mode Selector
Turn the switch to one of the following positions to select the correspo\
nding drive mode:
1 • (Standard) - Used for standard or normal driving.
2 SPORT – The hybrid system and transmission will
adjust, resulting in higher hybrid system rpm and
a more aggressive shift pattern. In this mode, fuel
economy may be reduced.
3 SNOW – Used on snowy roads or slippery areas.
In this mode, hybrid system output is controlled to
avoid wheel spin.
4 ECO – Adjusts hybrid system and transmission points to enhance fuel econ\
omy.
ECO PEDAL SYSTEM (if so equipped)

With the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector switch in the ECO mode, the ECO pedal system
assists the driver in improving fuel economy.

The ECO pedal system applies force to make the accelerator pedal heavier\
, depending on
the accelerator pedal operation.

To change the ECO pedal reaction force:
1. Press the SETTING button on the control panel.
2. Touch the “ECO DRIVE” key.
3. Touch the “ECO pedal” key and select one of the options below:
• OFF – Turns the ECO pedal system off.
• Soft – Softens the reaction force.
• Standard – Reaction force is normal.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Hybrid Awareness
Your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your \
vehicle while it is ON but
the hybrid system is not running, the hybrid system will automatically s\
tart, informing you
that the vehicle is still ON.

Do not store your INFINITI Intelligent Key within the detection range of\
the vehicle.
This may cause welcome lights and other functions to activate, creating \
unwanted
battery drain.

The hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. Ac\
tivation of the
electric mode may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full \
battery display does
not indicate the vehicle should be in the electric mode.
For more information, refer to the “Hybrid System Overview (section Hybrid System)” of your Owner’s Manual.
