the “MOD” key on the bottom of the control  
panel display.
    When  the CAMERA button is pressed and the vehicle

is moved to the R (REVERSE) position, the display 
screen will automatically change to view the area surrounding the vehicl\
e.
    With the Around View® Monitor displayed, the corner sonar system can detect objects   
near the vehicle and warn the driver by sounding a tone and showing an i\
ndicator on   
the display screen.
 For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (secti\
on 4)”  of your  
Owner’s Manual.

essential information
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
    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.
    When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS with Tire Inflation \
Indicator provides visual and audible signals to help you inflate the ti\
re 
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.
   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 CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and low tire pressure warning light  2  
will extinguish.
    When the low tire pressure warning light  2 flashes for approximately 1 minute 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 
 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\
ea se 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.

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.
