SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
Both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats
are equipped with a seat belt warning light.
The warning light, located on the instrument
panel, will show the status of the driver and
passenger seat belt.
NOTE:
The front passenger seat belt warning light
will not light up if the seat is not occupied.
For additional information, refer to “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.
PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women
use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn
snug and always position the lap belt as low
as possible around the hips, not the waist.
Place the shoulder belt over your shoulder
and across your chest. Never run the
lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area.
Contact your doctor for specific recommen-
dations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons
use seat belts. Check with your doctor for
specific recommendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH
COMFORT FUNCTION
(front seats) (if so equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt
with a motor to help restrain front seat occu-
pants. This helps reduce the risk of injury in a
collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the
following emergency conditions:∙ During emergency braking.
∙ During sudden steering maneuvers. ∙ Activation of the Forward Emergency
Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian Detection
system (if so equipped). For additional
information, refer to “Forward Emer-
gency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian De-
tection system” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
∙ In the event of certain types of rollover collisions.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when: ∙ The seat belt is not fastened.
∙ The vehicle speed is under 10 mph (15 km/h) during emergency braking.
∙ The vehicle speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h) during sudden steering ma-
neuvers.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when the brake pedal is not depressed except
when sudden steering maneuvers occur and
the Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with
Pedestrian Detection system (if so equipped)
activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened. When
the seat belt is fastened, the motor tightens
the seat belt for a snug fit. When the seat belt

WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-8Instruments and controls
Forward EmergencyBraking (FEB) with
Pedestrian Detection
system warning light
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position. It turns off after
the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the FEB with Pe-
destrian Detection system or the Predictive
Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) system is
set to OFF in the vehicle information display.
If the light illuminates when the FEB with
Pedestrian Detection system is on, it may
indicate that the system is unavailable. For
additional information, refer to “Forward
Emergency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian
Detection system” and “Predictive Forward
Collision Warning (PFCW)” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.
Low tire pressure warninglight
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of
low tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS
is not functioning properly. After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about 1 sec-
ond and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate. A
“Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning also
appears in the vehicle information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light il-
luminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all four tires to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label located in
the driver’s door opening. The low tire pres-
sure warning light does not automatically
turn off when the tire pressure is adjusted.
After the tire is inflated to the recommended
pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to activate
the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure
warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to
check the tire pressure.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
appears each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position as long as the low
tire pressure warning light remains illumi-
nated.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in the “Instruments and
controls” section and “Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section and in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.
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 1 minute. Have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service. The "Tire
Pressure Low — Add Air" warning does not
appear if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, refer to “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section and “Tire pres-
sure” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
