[Front Passenger Airbag
Disabled See Operator’s
Manual] The front-passenger front air bag is disabled during the journey although an adult or person of corresponding stature is on the front
passenger seat.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are properly seated and using the seat belt as outlined in this manual should not cause the
front passenger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF, however if the occupant takes his/her
weight off the seat cushion (for example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out of position),
this could cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly for the most effective
protection by the seat belt and supplemental air bag.
If additional forces are applied to the seat, the system may interpret the occupant’s weight as lower than it actually is.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Have the occupant on the front-passenger seat step out of the vehicle.
5. Make sure that the seat is unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
6. Observe the

- The
front-passenger front air bag deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front air bag (see Front passenger air bag and
status light in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system section)
- the [Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator’s Manual] or [Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator’s Manual] display
messages must not be shown in the vehicle information display.
7. Wait for a period of at least 60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been completed.
8. Make sure that the display messages do not appear in the vehicle information display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be occupied again. Whether the
light remains lit or goes out depends on how the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system classifies the occupant.
If the conditions are not met, the system is not operating correctly.
Have the system checked immediately. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

[Please Correct Tire Pressure] The tire pressure is too low in at least one of the tires, or the tire pressure difference between the wheels is too great. 1. Check the tire pressures at the next opportunity (see Wheels and tiresin the8. Do-it-yourself section)
2. If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
3. Restart the tire pressure monitoring system (see Restarting TPMSin the5. Starting and driving section)
[Check Tire(s)] The tire pressure in one or more tires has dropped significantly The wheel position is displayed in the vehicle information display
A warning tone also sounds.
WARNING
Underinflated tires pose the following risks:•The tires may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase.•The tires may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly impair tire traction.•The driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
1. Stop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Check the tires and, if necessary, follow the instructions for a flat tire (see Flat tirein the6. In case of emergency section).
4. Check the tire pressures and, if necessary, correct the tire pressure.
[Warning Tire Malfunction] The tire pressure in one or more tires has dropped suddenly. The wheel position is displayed in the vehicle information display.
WARNING
If you drive with a flat tire, there is a risk of the following hazards:•A flat tire affects the ability to steer or brake the vehicle.•You could lose control of the vehicle.•Continued driving with a flat tire will cause excessive heat buildup and possibly a fire.
There is a risk of an accident.
1. Stop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Check the tires and, if necessary, follow the instructions for a flat tire (see Flat tirein the6. In case of emergency section).

WARNING
•Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in
motion and before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
•To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and or
its systems, including entrapment in win-
dows or inadvertent door lock activation, do
not leave children, people who require the
assistance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature
inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to people and
pets.
The switches for all side windows are located on
the driver’s door. There is also a switch on each
door for the corresponding side window The
switches on the driver’s door take precedence.
Auto-reverse function
The auto-reverse function can be activated
when a window is closed by automatic opera-
tion. Depending on the environment or driving condi-
tions, the auto-reverse function may be acti-
vated if an impact or load similar to something
being caught in the window occurs.
WARNING
There are some small distances immediately
before the closed position which cannot be
detected. Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc., inside the vehicle before
closing the window.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, re-
placed, or jump started, the power window
auto-reverse function may not operate properly.
If this occurs, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer to re-initialize the power win-
dow auto-reverse system.
If the control unit detects something caught in a
window equipped with automatic operation as
it is closing, the window will be immediately
lowered.
