Operator's Manual]ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), BAS (Brake Assist System), VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control), and hill start assist are temporarily
unavailable.
Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) may also have failed.
In addition, the,andwarning lights may light up in the combination meter.
Possible causes:
•Self-diagnosis is not yet complete.•The on-board voltage may be insufficient.
WARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you
brake hard, for example.
The steering and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The braking distance may increase in an emergency braking
situation.
If VDC is not operational, VDC is unable to stabilize the vehicle. There is an increased danger of skidding and risk of an accident.
Carefully drive on a suitable stretch of road, making slight steering movements, at a speed above 12 MPH (20 km/h). If the display
message disappears, the functions mentioned above are available again.
If the display message continues to be displayed, drive on carefully and have the system checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.

Message Possible causes/consequences and solutions
[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 tires")
2. If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
3. Restart the tire pressure monitoring system (see "Restarting TPMS")
[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 tire").
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.
