CAUTION
•Do not use leaded gasoline. (SeeRecom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacitiesin
the9. Maintenance and Schedulessec-
tion.) Deposits from leaded gasoline seri-
ously reduce the ability of the three-way
catalyst to help reduce exhaust pollutants
and/or damage the three-way catalyst.
•Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-
tems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of performance or
other unusual operating conditions are de-
tected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
•Do not race the engine while warming it up.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if present),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys-
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from working properly. Always check
the TPMS telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
The vehicle’s wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tire pressures in all four tires The
tire pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tires The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is shown in the
vehicle information display. After a few minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each tire
is shown in the [Serv.] menu of the vehicle
information display.

WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electri-
cal medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemake should contact their electrical
medical equipment manufacturer for the
pssible influences before use.
•If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates or a tire pressure-related warning is
displayed by the vehicle information dis-
play while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce ve-
hicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible. Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to an ac-cident and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
tire and loading information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a replace-
ment tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement wheel is fitted without an
INFINITI TPMS Sensor, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute. It is
recommended you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
•For models with run-flat tires, although you
can continue driving with a punctured run-flat
tire, remember that vehicle handling stability
is reduced, which could lead to an accident
and personal injury. Also, driving a long dis-
tance at high speeds may damage the tires.
–Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH (80
km/h) and do not drive more than approxi-
mately 93 miles (150 km) with a punctured
run-flat tire. The actual distance the ve-
hicle can be driven on a flat tire depends
on outside temperature, vehicle load, road
conditions and other factors.
–If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punctured
run-flat tire, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. The tire may be seriously dam-
aged and need to be replaced.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
•If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to repair
a minor tire puncture, the TPMS sensor
should be checked when repairing or re-
placing the tire (for models equipped with
the emergency tire puncture repair kit). It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
•INFINITI recommends using only INFINITI
Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tire sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can
cause the tire to lose air pressure (for mod-
els equipped with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit).

5-6Starting and driving

CAUTION
•The TPMS may not function properly when
the wheels are equipped with snow chains
or the wheels are buried in snow.
•Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows. This
may cause poor reception of the signals
from the tire pressure sensors, and the
TPMS will not function properly.
It is the driver’s responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure
suitable for the operating situation (see
Wheels and tiresin the8. Do-it-yourself
section). Note that the correct tire pressure for
the current operating situation must first be
taught-in to the tire pressure monitor (see
Restarting TPMSlater in this section).
If there is a substantial loss of pressure, the
warning threshold for the warning message is
aligned to the reference values taught-in. Re-
start the tire pressure monitor after adjusting to
the cold tire pressure. The current pressures are
saved as new reference values. This will ensure
that a warning message will only appear if the
tire pressure drops significantly.
The tire pressure monitor does not warn you of
an incorrectly set tire pressure.TPMS is not able to warn you of a sudden loss
of pressure, e. g. if the tire is penetrated by a
foreign object. In the event of a sudden loss of
pressure, bring the vehicle to a halt by braking
carefully. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
TPMS has a yellow warning lamp in the combi-
nation meter for indicating a pressure loss or
malfunction. Depending on how the warning
lamp flashes or lights up, a tire pressure that is
too low or a malfunction in TPMS is indicated:
•If the warning lamp is lit continuously, the
tire pressure on one or more tires is signifi-
cantly too low. TPMS is not malfunctioning.
•If the warning lamp flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the
TPMS is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a message
appears in the vehicle information display. Ob-
serve the information on display messages (see
Safety systemsin the2. Instruments and
controlssection
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunction
of the tire pressure monitor to be indicated. A
malfunction will be indicated by the tire pres-
sure warning lamp flashing for approximately
one minute and then remaining lit. When the
fault has been rectified, the tire pressure warn-
ing lamp goes out after you have driven for a
few minutes.The tire pressure values indicated by the ve-
hicle information display may differ from those
measured at a filling station using a pressure
gauge. The tire pressures shown by the vehicle
information display are those measured at sea
level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure values
indicated by a pressure gauge are higher than
those shown by the vehicle information display.
In this case, do not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radio transmit-
ting equipment (e.g. radio head phones, two-
way radios) that may be being operated in or
near the vehicle.Checking the tire pressure
electronically
1. Make sure that the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [Serv.] menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select
[Tire Pressure].
4. Press to confirm.
The current tire pressure for each wheel will
be displayed in the vehicle information dis-
play.
Starting and driving5-7

If the vehicle was parked for longer than 20
minutes, the [Tire pressures will be displayed
after driving a few minutes] message is shown.
After a teach-in period, the tire pressure moni-
tor automatically detects new wheels or new
sensors. If a clear allocation of tire pressure to
individual wheels is not possible, the Tire pres-
sure monitor active message is shown instead
of the tire pressure display. The tire pressures
are already being monitored.
If a replacement wheel is fitted, for a few
minutes the system may continue to show the
tire pressure of the wheel that has been re-
moved. If this occurs, note that the value dis-
played for the position where the replacement
wheel is fitted is not the same as the current tire
pressure of the replacement wheel.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
warning messages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a pressure loss
in one or more tires, a warning message is shown
in the vehicle information display and the yellow
tire pressure monitor warning lamp comes on.
•If the [Please Correct Tire Pressure] (yellow)
message appears in the vehicle information
display, the tire pressure in at least one tire
is too low and must be corrected at the next
opportunity. If the system detects that new
sensors have been fitted (IDs do not match
those stored, and the pressure is not fea-
sible, or is less than 14% under the norm
then the [Please Correct Tire Pressure] mes-
sage will be displayed in white.
•If the [Check Tires] (red) message appears in
the vehicle information display, the tire pres-
sure in one or more tires has dropped sig-
nificantly and the tires must be checked.
•If the [Warning Tire Malfunction] (red) message
appears in the vehicle information display, the
tire pressure in one or more tires has dropped
suddenly and the tires must be checked.
•If the [Tire Press. Sensor(s) Missing] mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, one or more sensors are missing or
cannot be detected. This could be the result
of fitting a replacement wheel/tire.Observe the instructions and safety notes in the
display messages in the vehicle information
display.
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are inter-
changed, the tire pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for a short time. After a
few minutes of driving, this is rectified and the
tire pressures are displayed for the correct
positions.
Restarting TPMS
To keep the TPMS functioning properly, the
restart operation must be performed in the
following cases:
•When the tire pressure is adjusted
•When a tire or a wheel is replaced
•When the tires are rotated
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamps go out. The monitor uses the
currently set tire pressures as the reference
values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire
pressure monitor will automatically detect the
new reference values after you have changed
the tire pressure. However, you can also define
reference values manually as described here.
The tire pressure monitor then monitors the
new tire pressure values.

ON PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than pas-
senger cars to make them capable of perform-
ing in a variety of on-pavement and off-road
applications. This gives them a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An advantage of
higher ground clearance is a better view of the
road, allowing you to anticipate problems. How-
ever, they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive
vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily under
off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns at high speeds. As with other
vehicles of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
For additional information, refer toDriving
safety precautionslater in this section.
Starting and driving5-9

•The vehicle generally moves or pulls in the
direction of the flat tire.
•Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
•Do not rapidly release the accelerator
pedal.
•Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel
with both hands and try to hold a straight
course.
3. When appropriate, slowly release the accel-
erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location
off the road and away from traffic if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradually
stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
contact a roadside emergency service to
change the tire. For additional information,
refer toFlat tirein the6. In case of
emergencysection.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces co-
ordination, delays reaction time and impairs
judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol in-
creases the likelihood of being involved in an
accident injuring yourself and others. Addi-
tionally, if you are injured in an accident, alco-
hol can increase the severity of the injury.
INFINITI is committed to safe driving. However,
you must choose not to drive under the influ-
ence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people
are injured or killed in alcohol-related acci-
dents. Although the local laws vary on what is
considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is
that alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of alco-
hol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix! And
that is true for drugs, too (over-the-counter,
prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t drive if
your ability to operate your vehicle is impaired
by alcohol, drugs, or some other physical con-
dition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your INFINITI is designed for both normal and
off-road use. However, avoid driving in deep
water or mud as your INFINITI is mainly de-
signed for leisure use, unlike a conventional
off-road vehicle.
Remember that 2–wheel drive vehicles are less
capable than all-wheel drive (AWD) models for
rough road driving and extrication when stuck
in deep snow or mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
•Spinning the front wheels on slippery sur-
faces may cause the AWD warning message
to display and the AWD system to automati-
cally switch from the AWD to 2WD mode.
This could reduce the traction. Be especially
careful when towing a trailer. (AWD models)
•Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas. Every person who drives
or rides in this vehicle should be seated
with their seat belt fastened. This will keep
you and your passengers in position when
driving over rough terrain.
