erwise the new equipment adversely affect
the electronic control modules and electronic
control system harness.
WARNING
•A cellular phone should not be used for
any purpose while driving so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
cellular phones while driving.
•If you must make a call while your vehicle
is in motion, the hands-free cellular
phone operational mode (if so equipped)
is highly recommended. Exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.

malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the ve-
hicle that prevent the TPMS from working
properly. Always check the TPMS telltale af-
ter replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
The vehicle's wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tire pressures in all four tires The
tire pressure monitor warns you if the pres-
sure drops in one or more of the tires The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is shown in the
vehicle information display. After a few min-
utes of driving, the current tire pressure of
each tire is shown in the [Serv.] menu of the
vehicle information display.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect
electrical medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact their
electrical medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
•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.
•If a replacement wheel is fitted without
an INFINITI TPMS Sensor, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 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 resetting.
•For models with run-flat tires, although
you can continue driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, remember that ve-
hicle handling stability is reduced, which
could lead to an accident and personal
injury. Also, driving a long distance at
high speeds may damage the tires.
–Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than approximately 93 miles
(150 km) with a punctured run-flat
tire. The actual distance the vehicle

pressure warning light goes out after you
have driven for a few minutes.
The tire pressure values indicated by the ve-
hicle information display may differ from
those measured at a filling station using a
pressure gauge. The tire pressures shown by
the vehicle information display are those
measured at sea level. At high altitudes, the
tire pressure values indicated by a pressure
gauge are higher than those shown by the
vehicle information display. In this case, do
not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor
can be affected by interference from radio
transmitting equipment (e.g. radio head
phones, two-way radios) that may be being
operated in or near the vehicle.Checking the tire pressure
electronically
1. Make sure that the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [Serv.] menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select

The current tire pressure for each wheel
will be displayed in the vehicle information
display.If the vehicle was parked for longer than
20 minutes, the [Tire pressures will be dis-
played after driving a few minutes] message
is shown.
After a teach-in period, the tire pressure moni-
tor automatically detects new wheels or new
sensors. If a clear allocation of tire pressure to
individual wheels is not possible, the Tire pres-
sure monitor active message is shown instead
of the tire pressure display. The tire pressures
are already being monitored.
Ifa replacement wheel is fitted, for a few
minutes the system may continue to show the
tire pressure of the wheel that has been re-
moved. If this occurs, note that the value dis-
played for the position where the replacement
wheel is fitted is not the same as the current
tire pressure of the replacement wheel.

5-6Starting and driving
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will
not allow the engine to start without the use
of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll
road device or automated payment device on
the key ring. Restart the engine using the
following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or
LOCK position and wait approximately
5 seconds.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de-
vice (which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI
recommends placing the registered key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.

NOTE
For vehicles fitted with Idle Stop/Start Sys-
tem:
When the engine is automatically stopped
by the Idle Stop/Start System the ignition
switch can still be operated as usual.
At the end of a journey turn the ignition OFF
to avoid a discharged battery. The Idle
Stop/Start System does not automatically
turn ignition off.
Vehicles with Intelligent Key are equipped with
keys featuring an integrated Intelligent Key
function and in some cases a detachable push-
button ignition switch (Start/Stop button).
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the ve-
hicle. This occurs, for example, when starting
the engine.
When you insert the push-button ignition
switch into the ignition lock, the system needs
approximately two seconds recognition time.
You can then use the push-button ignition
switch.
WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in
an emergency. (The engine will stop when
the ignition switch is pressed 3 consecutive
times in quick succession or the ignition
switch is pushed and held for more than 2
seconds.) If the engine stops while the ve-
hicle is being driven, this could lead to a
crash and serious injury.
Before operating the push-button ignition
switch:
•Select P (Park).Pressing the Start/Stop button several times
in succession corresponds to the different
key positions in the ignition lock. Prerequisite
for this is that:
•You do not depress the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
•The push-button ignition switch must be
inserted in the ignition lock.
•The key must be in the vehicle.
•The vehicle must not be locked with the
key or Intelligent Key (see "Keys").
Do not keep the Intelligent Key:
•With electronic devices, for example a mo-
bile phone or another key.
•With metallic objects, for example coins or
metal film.
•Inside metallic objects, for example a metal
case.
This can affect the functionality of the Intel-
ligent Key.
