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.

Removing the wheel
WARNING
•The jack must be placed on firm level
ground. Failure to observe this instruc-
tion could result in vehicle damage, or
serious injury or death.
•Make sure to read the caution label at-
tached to the jack body before use.

WARNING
•Do not continue to drive if your vehicle
overheats. Doing so could cause engine
damage or a vehicle fire.
•To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never remove the radiator or coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is hot.
When the radiator or coolant reservoir
cap is removed, pressurized hot water
will spurt out, possibly causing serious
injury.
•Do not open the hood if steam is coming
out.
If the engine of your vehicle is overheating
(indicated by the engine coolant temperature
gauge) or if you feel a lack of engine power,
detect unusual noise, etc., proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Move and park the vehicle safely off the road and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flasher lights.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Press the P (Park) button. DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE.
5. Open all windows. 6. Switch off the air conditioner system (if
equipped).
7. Set the heater or air conditioner tempera- ture control to maximum “HOT” and fan
speed control to maximum speed.
8. Exit the vehicle.
9. Visually inspect and listen for steam or coolant escaping from the radiator before
opening the hood.
WARNING
If steam or water is coming from the en-
gine, stand clear to prevent getting
burned.
10. Open the hood. For details, see "Hood" in the "3. Pre-driving checks and adjust-
ments" section.
11. Visually check if the cooling fan is run- ning.
12. Visually check the radiator and radiator hoses for leakage.
WARNING
Be careful not to allow your hands, hair,
jewelry or clothing to come into contact
with, or get caught in, engine belts or the
engine cooling fan. The engine cooling fan
can start at any time.
13. After the engine cools down, check the coolant level in the engine coolant reser-
voir with the engine running. Do not
open the radiator cap (if equipped).
14. If the level is low, remove the engine coolant reservoir cap and add coolant
slowly into the reservoir. After refilling
the reservoir to the MAX level, install the
reservoir cap.
15. Close the hood.
Have your vehicle inspected or repaired. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer.

Two-Wheel Drive (FWD) models
CAUTION
NEVER tow automatic transmission (DCT)
models with the front wheels on the
ground or with all four wheels on the
ground (forwards or backwards), as this
may cause serious and expensive damage
to the transmission. If it is necessary to tow
the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, al-
ways use towing dollies under the front
wheels.
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) models
INFINITI recommends that towing dollies be
used under the front or rear wheels when
towing your vehicle or the vehicle be placed
on a flatbed tow truck as illustrated.
CAUTION
Never tow 4WD models with any of the
wheels on the ground. Doing so will cause
serious and expensive damage to the
drivetrain.

recover the vehicle if you have any ques-
tions regarding the recovery procedure.
•Tow chains or cables must be attached
only to main structural members of the
vehicle.
•Do not use the vehicle tie downs to tow
or free a stuck vehicle.
•Only use devices specifically designed
for vehicle recovery and follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
•Always pull the recovery device straight
out from the front of the vehicle. Never
pull at an angle.
•Route recovery devices so they do not
touch any part of the vehicle except the
attachment point.
•On vehicles with a push button ignition
switch: you must remove the start/stop
