Maintenance
The maintenance menu allows the user to set reminders for various vehicle maintenance items.
Some menu items shown below may not be equipped on your vehicle.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks. For additional information, see
“Changing wheels and tires” (P. 8-39). Many factors including tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and road conditions affect tire wear
and when tires should be replaced. Setting the tire replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not mean your tires will last that
long. Use the tire replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in
serious personal injury or death.
Menu item Explanation
Service Allows user to reset the current interval. This should only be done after completing oil change maintenance.
Air Filter Allows user to set a reminder at a specific interval or reset the current one.
Tire This indicator appears when the customer set distance is reached for replacing tires. You can set or reset the distance
for replacing tires.
Other This indicator appears when the customer set distance is reached for checking or replacing maintenance items other
than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. Other maintenance items can include such things as air filter or tire rotation. The
distance for checking or replacing the items can be set or reset.

mation, see “Chassis Control” (P. 5-170).
Check Back Seat For All Articles
When the system is enabled, this message ap-
pears when the vehicle comes to a complete
stop, the vehicle is transitioned from the D (Drive)
position to P (Park) position, and the driver exits
the vehicle. This message alerts the driver, after a
period of time, to check for items in the rear seat
after the audible alert has been provided.
NOTE:
This system is disabled until a driver enables
it using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, see “How to use the
vehicle information display” (P. 2-44).For additional information, see “Rear Door
Alert” (P. 2-92).

appears when the Rear Door Alert system is
active and can remind the driver to check the
back seat.
• Using the steering wheel switch, a driver
can select “Dismiss Message” to clear the
display for a period of time. If no selection is
made, this message automatically turns off
after a period of time.
• Using the steering wheel switch, a driver can select “Disable Alert” to disable the
horn alert for the remainder of the current
trip.
WARNING

•When using a wheel without the TPMS
such as the spare tire, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure indica-
tor will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The indicator will remain on after 1 min-
ute. 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 the
regular 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.
Malfunction Indicator (MIL)
If this indicator appears steady or blinks while
the engine is running, it may indicate a poten-
tial emission control malfunction. The MIL may also come on steady if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
that the vehicle has at least 3 gallons (11.4
liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
indicator
should turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator appears steady for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the en-
gine is not running, it indicates that the vehicle
is not ready for an emission control system
inspection/maintenance test. For additional
information, see “Readiness for Inspection/
Maintenance (I/M) test” (P. 10-34).
Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
• MIL on steady — An emission control sys- tem malfunction has been detected. Have
the vehicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. You do not need to have your ve-
hicle towed to the retailer.
• MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emission
control system. To reduce or avoid emis-
sion control system damage:– do not drive at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h). – avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
– avoid steep uphill grades.
– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The MIL may stop blinking and come on
steady. Have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the retailer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without hav-
ing the emission control system checked
and repaired as necessary could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy,
and possible damage to the emission con-
trol system.
Master warning indicator
When the ignition is in the ON position, the
master warning indicator appears with vari-
ous other warning messages.
For additional information, see “Vehicle in-
formation display–7 inch (18 cm) Type A”
(P. 2-22) or “Vehicle information display—
12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B” (P. 2-44).

This warning appears when the low tire pres-
sure warning light in the meter illuminates
and low tire pressure is detected. The
warning appears each time the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position as long as
the low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated. If this warning appears, stop the
vehicle and adjust the tire pressures of all four
tires to the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label. For additional information, see
“Low tire pressure warning light” (P. 2-18)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P. 5-5).

that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.

AWD Error: See Owner’s Manual
This warning appears when the Intelligent
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system is not func-
tioning properly while the engine is running.
Reduce vehicle speed and have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible. For additional information, see “In-
telligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD)” (P. 5-161).
AWD High Temp. Stop Vehicle
This warning appears when the oil tempera-
ture of the powertrain parts will increase due
to the difference in rotation between the
front and rear wheels is large (wheel slip),such as when driving the vehicle on rough
roads, through sand or mud, or freeing a
stuck vehicle. If this warning is displayed, stop
the vehicle with the engine idling, as soon as it
is safe to do so. In these cases, the AWD
changes to 2WD to protect the powertrain
parts. Then if the warning turns off, you can
continue AWD driving.
Tire Size Incorrect: See Owner’s Manual
This warning may appear if there is a large
difference between the diameters of the
front and rear wheels. Pull off the road in a
safe area, with the engine idling. Check that
all the tire sizes, brand, construction and
tread patterns are the same, that the tire
pressure is correct and that the tires are not
excessively worn. If you have any problems,
please change tires or adjust to the correct
tire pressure. Do not select the SNOW mode
with the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector and
do not drive fast. For additional information,
see “Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD)”
(P. 5-161).
