TPMS malfunction
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. The
“Tyre Pressure Low - Add Air” warning does
not appear if the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunc-
tion.
For additional information, refer to “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section and “Tire pres-
sure” in the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affect elec-tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
∙ If the light does not illuminate with the ignition switch placed in the ON position,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer as soon as possible for this service.
∙ 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 perma-
nently 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 per-
sonal injury or death. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the tire placard label
located in the driver’s door opening to
turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If you have a flat tire, re-
place it with a spare tire as soon as pos-
sible. If no tire is flat and all tires are
properly inflated, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for these services.
∙ Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
∙ The TPMS is not a substitute for theregular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
∙ If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 25 km/h (16 mph), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.

CARGO LIGHT
The cargo light on the overhead trim has a
three-position switch. To operate, push the
switch to the desired position.
1ON: The light is illuminated.
2DOOR: The light illuminates when the
liftgate is opened. The light turns off
when the liftgate is closed.
3OFF: The light does not illuminate re-
gardless of liftgate position or lock sta-
tus.
CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could result in
a discharged battery. The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
∙ Will operate most radio frequency de- vices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
∙ Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the ve-
hicle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” in this section.

WARNING
∙ Do not use the HomeLink® UniversalTransceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became effec-
tive for opener models manufactured
after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in
the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
∙ During the programming procedure your garage door or security gate will open
and close (if the transmitter is within
range). Make sure that people or objects
are clear of the garage door, gate, etc.
that you are programming.
∙ Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Uni-
versal Transceiver. Do not breathe ex-
haust gases; they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-
oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®

WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible
influences before use.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Intelligent Key sys-
tem operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
∙ Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when operating the vehicle.
∙ Never leave the Intelligent Key in the ve- hicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with the operation of the Intelligent
Key system under the following operating
conditions:
∙ When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.
∙ When in possession of wireless equip- ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.
∙ When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
∙ When any type of radio wave remote control is used nearby.
∙ When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal
computer.
∙ When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key function
or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the bat-
tery’s life is approximately two years. If the
battery is discharged, replace it with a new
one. When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an
indicator illuminates in the vehicle informa-
tion display. For additional information, refer
to “Vehicle information display” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
For additional information, refer to “Battery
replacement” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
For models with a steering wheel lock
mechanism: Because the steering wheel is
locked electrically, unlocking the steering
wheel with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position is impossible when the vehicle bat-
tery is completely discharged. Pay special at-
tention that the vehicle battery is not com-
pletely discharged.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. For infor-
mation about the purchase and use of addi-
tional Intelligent Keys, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.
INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-7
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower, and
the Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 80 cm (31.5 in)
from each request switch
1.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door
glass, handle or rear bumper, the request
switches may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even
someone who does not carry the Intelligent
Key, to push the request switch to
lock/unlock the doors.
DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS
PRECAUTION
∙ Do not push the door handle request switch with the Intelligent Key held in
your hand as illustrated. The close dis-
tance to the door handle will cause the

curely locked by testing them. ∙ To prevent the Intelligent Key from being
left inside the vehicle, make sure you
carry the Intelligent Key with you and
then lock the doors.
∙ Do not pull the door handle before push- ing the door handle request switch. The
door will be unlocked but will not open.
Release the door handle once and pull it
again to open the door.

3-20Pre-driving checks and adjustments
While positioned at the rear of the vehicle
(center) at arms’ length distance away, begin
making the forward kicking motion. Kick the
foot under the rear bumper then immediately
return the foot back to standing position. The
kicking motion should be straight, smooth
and consistent. Your leg does not need to
touch the bumper surface but be within
3/4 inch (2 cm) to 4 inches (10 cm) of the
bumper surface. After your kick motion is
completed step back to allow the liftgate to
open/close. The liftgate should begin moving
within 1–2 seconds after the kick. This time is
needed to verify the Intelligent Key and to
validate the kick motion. Kicking again withinthis time frame (1–2 seconds) could cause the
liftgate to reverse or stop.
WARNING
Prevent unintentional liftgate opening/
closing. There may be conditions when
opening/closing the liftgate is not desired.
Keep the Intelligent Key out of the range of
the liftgate (3 ft or 1 m), when washing or
working around the back of the vehicle.
