The hazard warning flasher switch1oper-
ates regardless of the ignition switch position
except when the battery is discharged.
The hazard warning flasher is used to warn
other drivers when you have to stop or park
under emergency conditions.
When the hazard warning flasher switch is
pushed, all turn signal lights will flash. To turn
off the hazard warning flasher, push the haz-
ard warning switch again.
WARNING
•If stopping for an emergency, be sure to
move the vehicle well off the road.
•Do not use the hazard warning flashers
while moving on the highway unless un-
usual circumstances force you to drive so slowly that your vehicle might be-
come a hazard to other traffic.
•Turn signals do not work when the haz-
ard warning flasher lights are on.
Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use of
the hazard warning flasher switch while
driving. If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
in this section.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
WARNING
•If the low tire pressure warning light il-
luminates or a tire pressure-related
warning is displayed by the vehicle in-
formation display 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 likeli-
hood of tire failure. Serious vehicle dam-
age could occur and may lead to an acci-
dent and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the tire and loading informa-
tion label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a replacement tire as
soon as possible.
•When a replacement tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not

function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on after 1
minute. It is recommended you Contact
an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible
for tire replacement and/or system re-
setting.
•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 repair-
ing or replacing the tire. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the
low tire pressure warning light is lit, and a tire
pressure-related warning (if equipped) ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, one
or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. If the vehicle is being driven with low
tire pressure, the TPMS will activate and
warn you of it by the low tire pressure warn-
ing light (in the meter panel). This system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). For more details about the TPMS, see "Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)" in the
"5. Starting and driving" section.

RUN-FLAT TIRES
With special run-flat tires, you can continue
to drive your vehicle even if there is a total
loss of pressure in one or more tires. The
affected tire must not show any clearly visible
damage.
You can recognize run-flat tires by the mark-
ing which appears on the tire side wall. You
will find this marking next to the tire size
designation, the load-bearing capacity and
the speed index.
Run-flat tires may only be used in conjunction
with an activated tire pressure loss warning
system or tire pressure monitor.
Pressure loss warning message
If a pressure loss warning message appears
in the vehicle information display:
•Observe the instructions in the display
messages.
•Check the tire for damage.
•If driving on, observe the following notes.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
is approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the
vehicle is partially laden and approximately
20 miles (30 km) when the vehicle is fully
laden.NIC2686
6-4In case of emergency

In addition to the vehicle load, the driving
distance possible depends upon:
•Vehicle speed.
•Road condition.
•Outside temperature.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving
conditions/maneuvers, or it can be increased
through a moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
is counted from the moment the tire pressure
loss warning appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of 50
MPH (80 km/h).
When replacing one or all tires, observe the
following specifications for your vehicle's
tires:
•Size
•Type
•Run-flat mark
If a tire has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with a run flat tire, a standard tire may be
used as a temporary measure. Make sure that
you use the proper size and type (summer or
winter tire).
WARNING
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneu-
vers, and driving over obstacles (curbs, pot
holes, off road). This applies in particular to
a laden vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
•You hear banging noises.
•The vehicle starts to shake.
•You see smoke and smell rubber.
•VDC is intervening constantly.
•There are tears in the sidewalls of the
tire.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked with regard to their
further use. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. The faulty
tire must be replaced.
