after the 1 minute. Have the system checked.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service. THE CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning does not appear if the
low tire pressure warning light illuminates to
indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.5-5).
WARNING
.If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed ON, have
the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service as soon as possible.
. If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location
and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. 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
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the
low tire pressure warning light OFF.
If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS
may be malfunctioning. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. If no tire is flat and
all tires are properly inflated, have
the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
. Since the spare tire is not equipped
with the TPMS, when a spare tire is
mounted or a wheel is replaced, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for these services.
. Replacing tires with those not origin-
ally specified by INFINITI could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the
TPMS may not operate correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.

ture Warning (LDW) indicator light (or-
ange). (See “Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) indicator light” (P.2-15).)
For more details, see “Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)/Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP)” (P.5-21).
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, it may indicate a potential
emission control malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
come on steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure the fuel-filler cap is
installed and closed tightly, and that the
vehicle has at least 3 US gallons (14 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance test.
(See “Readiness for Inspection/Mainte-
nance (I/M) test (US only)” (P.10-19).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on
in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady —
An emission control system malfunction
has been detected. Check the fuel-filler
cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play. If the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few driving
trips. If thelight does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. You do
not need to have your vehicle towed to
the retailer.
