CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire 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 recep-
tion of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some examples
are:
.Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
.If a transmitter set to similar frequencies
is being used in or near the vehicle.
.If a computer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
Low tire pressure warning light may illumi-
nate in the following cases.
.If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel
and tire without TPMS..If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID
has not been registered.
.If the wheel is not originally specified by
INFINITI.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
When adding air to an under-inflated tire,
the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
provides visual and audible signals outside
the vehicle to help you inflate the tires to the
recommended COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the
shift lever in the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON
position. Do not start the engine.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indica-
tors will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is
reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
.If the tire is over-inflated more than
approximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash 3
times. To correct the pressure, push the
core of the valve stem on the tire briefly
to release pressure. When the pressure
reaches the designated pressure, the
horn beeps once.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BCI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BCI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedure, is not
designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects and does not
provide full brake power. When back-
ing out of parking spaces, always use
the inside and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the BCI
system.
.There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Using the BCI system under some
road, ground, traffic or weather con-
ditions could lead to improper system
operation. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BCI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind the
vehicle when the driver is backing out of a
parking space.
JVS0866X
The BCI system uses radar sensorsinstalled on both sides near the rear bumper
to detect an approaching vehicle and sonar
sensors
to detect objects in the rear.

BCI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BCI system. Failure to operatethe vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you
before backing up..The radar sensors detect approach-
ing (moving) vehicles. The radar sen-
sors cannot detect every object such
as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals or
child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that is passing at speeds
greater than approximately 15
MPH (24 km/h)
.The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain situa-
tions:
— Illustration a. When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs the
beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration b. When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.
— Illustration c. When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
— Illustration d. When an approach-
ing vehicle turns into your vehi-
cle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle
formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small.
.The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles:
