To shut off the engine in an emergency situ-
ation while driving, perform the following
procedure:
– Rapidly push the push-button ignitionswitch three consecutive times in less than
1.5 seconds, or
– Push and hold the push-button ignition switch for more than 2 seconds.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with 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 display,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. If equipped, the system also
displays pressure of all tires (except the spare
tire) on the display screen by sending a signal
from a sensor that is installed in each wheel. If
the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the TPMS will activate and warn you of
it by the low tire pressure warning light. This
system will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h).
For additional information, see “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
(P. 2-12) and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” (P. 5-5).
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 low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates 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 likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on
the Tire and Loading Information label to
turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates 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 vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

•When using a wheel without TPMS such
as the spare tire, the TPMS will not func-
tion and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 min-
ute. The light 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.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire
sealant into the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below:
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the park- ing brake. Push the park button to shift to
the P (Park) position.
4. Turn off the engine. 5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and
to signal professional road assistance
personnel that you need assistance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place, away from traf-
fic and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
• Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the shift position is placed in
the P (Park) position.
• Never change tires when the vehicle is on
a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
• Never change tires if oncoming traffic is
close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.
Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocks at both the front and
back of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat
tire to prevent the vehicle from moving when
it is jacked up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle
may move and result in personal injury.

4. Remove the jack.
• The jack is secured by a fastener
OC.To
release the fastener, assemble the jacking
rod
ODinto the wheel nut wrenchOEand
rotate counterclockwise to release.
• Insert the flat end of the wheel nut wrench
OEinto the slot of the fastenerOC, and
rotate counterclockwise to release the jack.
5. The lowering mechanism for the spare tire is located on the passenger side of the
cargo area. Remove the cover
OFto ac-
cess the lowering mechanism. 6. Attach the spare tire winch socket
OGto
the lowering mechanism nut.
7. To lower the spare tire, insert the wheel nut wrench
OEinto the jacking rodODand
insert the T-shaped end of the jacking rod
into the winch socket
OGand rotate
counterclockwise.
8. Once the spare tire is lowered, release it from the vehicle by guiding the lowering
cable and winch through the center of the
tire.
NOTE:Fully lower the spare tire below the vehicle
before attempting to remove the winch from
the spare tire.
9. After removing the spare tire from underthe vehicle, be sure to crank the cable up
by rotating the winch socket clockwise to
stow it.

CAUTION
• Make sure safety cable is coiled above
spare tire when reinstalling spare
tire/wheel.
• When re-installing the spare tire under
the vehicle after use, be sure to secure it
with the tire stem facing down toward
the ground. If the spare tire is improperly
secured with the stem facing up towards
the bottom of the vehicle, there is an in-
creased risk of separating from the ve-
hicle in the event of a crash which may
pose a hazard in traffic or risk of injury to
others.

Jacking up vehicle and removing
the damaged tire
WARNING
• Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by the jack. If it is neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
• Use only the jack provided with your ve-
hicle to lift the vehicle. Do not use the
jack provided with your vehicle on other
vehicles. The jack is designed for lifting
only your vehicle during a tire change.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use
any other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
• If your vehicle is equipped with Running
Boards use the Jack Point located on the
front or rear mounting brackets.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than
necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack. •
Do not start or run the engine while ve-
hicle is on the jack. It may cause the ve-
hicle to move. This is especially true for
vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off
the ground. It may cause the vehicle to
move.
Always refer to the illustration for the correct
placement and jack-up points for your spe-
cific vehicle model and jack type.
Carefully read the caution label attached to
the jack body and the following instructions.

WARNING
• If your vehicle is equipped with Running
Boards use the Jack Point located on the
front or rear mounting brackets.
• The Jack Point is located directly behind
the triangle shaped protrusion near the
front and rear of the Running Board
stepping surface.
1. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by turning counterclockwise with the
wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the
wheel nuts until the tire is off the ground.
2. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so the top of the jack
contacts the vehicle at the jack-up point.
The jack-up points are indicated by the
notches under the frame.
If the vehicle is equipped with INFINITI
Running Boards, the jack-up points are
indicated on the running board stepping
surface and the running board mounting
brackets.
The jack should be used on firm and level
ground.
