2019 INFINITI QX50 warning

WARNING
∙ Failure to properly adjust the brightness
and position of the displayed image may
interfere with the drivers ability to see
through the windshield which could
cause an accident leading to severe injury
or death.

tended periods of time as that can cause
you to not see other vehicles, pedestrians
or objects, which could cause an accident
leading to severe injury or death.The Head Up Display (HUD) can display one
or more of the following features (if so
equipped):
1Vehicle speed display
2Driving Aids
3Navigation/Warning
NOTE:
∙Do not place any type of liquid on or near
the projector. Doing so may cause mal-
function of the equipment.
∙Do not touch any internal parts of the
projector. Doing so may cause malfunc-
tion of the equipment.
∙To prevent scratches to the projector
glass, do not place any sharp objects on
or near the projector opening.
∙Do not place any objects on the instru-
ment panel which may obstruct the dis-
play of the HUD.

If you have a flat tire, refer to “Flat tire” in
the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
It monitors tire pressure of all tires
except the spare. When the low tire
pressure warning light is lit and the
“Tire Pressure Low – Add Air” warning
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated. If equipped,
the system also displays pressure of all
tires (except the spare tire) on the dis- play screen by sending a signal from a
sensor that is installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system
may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).
For additional information, refer to
“Low tire pressure warning light” in the
“Instruments and controls” section,
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving”
section and “Flat tire” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) often and always prior to long
distance trips. The recommended tire
pressure specifications are shown on
the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label or the Tire and Loading In-
formation label under the “Cold Tire
Pressure” heading. The Tire and Load-
ing Information label is affixed to thedriver side center pillar. Tire pressures
should be checked regularly because:
∙ Most tires naturally lose air over time.
∙ Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a curb
while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at mod-
erate speeds.
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
provides visual and audible signals
outside the vehicle for inflating the
tires to the recommended COLD tire
pressure. For additional information,
refer to “TPMS with tire inflation indi-
cator” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
WHEELS AND TIRES

WARNING
∙ Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly and cause an accident.
∙ The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label. The vehicle weight ca-
pacity is indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do not
load your vehicle beyond this ca-
pacity. Overloading your vehicle
may result in reduced tire life, un-
safe operating conditions due to
premature tire failure, or unfavor-
able handling characteristics and
could also lead to a serious acci-
dent. Loading beyond the speci-
fied capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle
components.
∙ Before taking a long trip, or when- ever you heavily load your vehicle,
use a tire pressure gauge to ensure
that the tire pressures are at the
specified level. ∙ For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the Warranty Infor-
mation Booklet.

Checking tire pressure
WARNING
∙ Driving at high speeds, 100 mph (160 km/h) or higher sustained
where it is legal to do so, can cause
tires to have excessive heat build
up, which may result in a tire fail-
ure causing loss of control, crash,
injuries or even death. ∙ Some high-speed rated tires re-
quire inflation pressure adjust-
ment for high-speed operation.
When speed limits and road condi-
tions allow vehicle driving at high
speeds, make sure tires are rated
to support high speed operation,
tires are in optimal conditions and
pressure is adjusted to correct cold
inflation pressure for high speed
operation.
∙ If your vehicle is equipped with P235/55RF19 or P255/45RF20
tire sizes, tires require adjustment
to the inflation pressure when
driving the vehicle at speeds of
100 mph (160 km/h) or higher
where it is legal to do so. Set the
cold inflation pressure to 36 psi
(250 kPa).
∙ After vehicle high speed operation has ended, readjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended cold in-
flation pressure, For additional in-
formation refer to the "Checking
tire pressure" section of this
manual. 1. Remove the valve stem cap from
the tire.
2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do
not press too hard or force the
valve stem sideways, or air will
escape. If the hissing sound of air
escaping from the tire is heard
while checking the pressure, re-
position the gauge to eliminate
this leakage.
3. Remove the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the gauge stem and compare to the
specification shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the
core of the valve stem briefly with
the tip of the gauge stem to re-
lease pressure. Recheck the pres-
sure and add or release air as
needed.
6. Install the valve stem cap.

FOREWORD READ FIRST—THEN DRIVE SAFELY

For descriptions specified for all-wheel drive
models, anAWDmark is placed at the begin-
ning of the applicable sections/items.
As with other vehicles with features for off-
road use, failure to operate all-wheel drive
models correctly may result in loss of control
or an accident. For additional information,
refer to “Driving safety precautions” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver dif-
ferently from an ordinary passenger car
because it has a higher center of gravity
for off-road use. As with other vehicles
with features of this type, failure to op-
erate this vehicle correctly may result in
loss of control or an accident.
For additional information, refer to “On-
pavement and off-road driving
precautions”, “Avoiding collision and roll-
over” and “Driving safety precautions” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.

fication could affect its performance,
safety, emissions or durability and may
even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance prob-
lems resulting from modifications may not
be covered under INFINITI warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diag-
nostic (OBD) plug-in device that uses the
port during normal driving, for example re-
mote insurance company monitoring, re-
mote vehicle diagnostics, telematics or en-
gine reprogramming, may cause
