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 as soon as pos-
sible. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer 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 show on the Tire and Loading
Information label located in the driver’s
door opening to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the light still illumi-
nates while driving after adjusting the
tire pressure, a tire may be flat or the
TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire
as soon as possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, have the ve-
hicle 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 16 mph (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
∙ Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the four wheels correctly.

Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems:
∙ Vehicle security system
∙ INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

the doors, liftgate or hood when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs.

SECURITY SYSTEMS
2-32Instruments and controls

The system helps deter vehicle theft but can-
not prevent it nor can it prevent the theft of
interior or exterior vehicle components in all
situations. Always secure your vehicle even if
parking for a brief period. Never leave your
Intelligent Key in the vehicle, and always lock
the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of
your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit
areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification
markers, and tracking systems, are available
at auto supply stores and specialty shops. An
INFINITI retailer may also offer such equip-
ment. Check with your insurance company to
see if you may be eligible for discounts for
various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof.(The system can be armed even if the
windows and moonroof are open.)
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the ve- hicle. 3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock
all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, or power door lock switch.
4. Confirm that the
security indicator
light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. The vehicle security system will
automatically shift into the armed phase.
The
security light begins to flash
once every three seconds. If during the
pre-armed phase one of the following
occurs, the system will not arm:
∙ Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent Key or door request switch.
∙ Ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON position.
∙ Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will acti-
vate with all the doors, hood and liftgate
locked with the ignition switch placed in
the LOCK position. When placing the ig-
nition switch in the ACC or ON position,
the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the fol-
lowing alarm:
∙ The turn signals blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
∙ The alarm automatically turns off after a period of time. However, the alarm reac-
tivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by press-
ing the
button on the Intelligent
Key.
The alarm is activated by:
∙ Opening the door or liftgate without us- ing the Intelligent Key (even if the door is
unlocked by releasing the door inside lock
switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s
door or the liftgate by pressing the
but-
ton on the Intelligent Key or pushing the re-
quest switch on the driver’s or passenger’s
door with the Intelligent Key in range of the
door handle.
