mended COLD tire pressure show on the
Tire and Loading Information label lo-
cated in the driver’s door opening to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while driving af-
ter adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may
be flat or the TPMS may be malfunction-
ing. 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 the TPMS
such as the spare tire, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on

WARNING
• Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
• The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience feature and is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in particu-
lar, are areas where objects do not al-
ways appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or
rear views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always op-
erate the vehicle slowly.
• The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when clean-
ing dirt or snow from the front of the
camera. The Around View® Monitor system is de-
signed as an aid to the driver in situations
such as slot parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen format.
Not all views are available at all times.
Available views:
• Front View
An approximately 150–degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
• Rear View An approximately 150–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
• Bird's-Eye View The surrounding views of the vehicle from
above.
• Front-Side View The view around and ahead of the front
passenger's side wheel.
• Front-Wide View An approximately 180–degree view of the
front the vehicle.
• Rear-Wide View An approximately 180–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle. To display the multiple views, the Around
View® Monitor system uses cameras located
in the front grille, on the vehicle’s outside
mirrors and one located in back door finisher
O1.
AROUND VIEW® MONITOR
SYSTEM OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ON position,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) posi-
tion or press the CAMERA button to operate

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-11
Additional information:
• When using a wheel without the TPMSsuch as the spare tire, the TPMS does not
monitor the tire pressure of the spare tire.
• The TPMS will activate only when the ve- hicle 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).
• The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is in-
flated 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 in the vehicle information display
when the low tire pressure warning light is
illuminated and low tire pressure is de-
tected. The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”
warning turns off when the low tire pres-
sure warning light turns off.
• The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warning appears each time the ignition switch is in
the ON position as long as the low tire
pressure warning light remains illuminated. • The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction.
• Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Do not re-
duce the tire pressure after driving because
the tire pressure rises after driving. Low
outside temperature can lower the tem-
perature of the air inside the tire which can
cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This
may cause the low tire pressure warning
light to illuminate. If the warning light illu-
minates, check the tire pressure for all four
tires.
• The Tire and Loading Information label is located in the driver's door opening.
• You can also check the pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the vehicle infor-
mation display screen. The order of the tire
pressure figures displayed on the screen
corresponds with the actual order of the
tire position.
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P. 2-18),“Tire Pres-
sure Low — Add Air” (P. 2-67) and “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P. 6-3).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 you have a flat tire, replace it with
a spare tire as soon as possible. For addi-
tional information, see “Flat tire”
(P. 6-3) for changing a flat tire.
5-6Starting and driving
•When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively.
• Accelerating quickly, sharp steering ma-
neuvers or sudden braking may cause
loss of control.
• If at all possible, avoid sharp turning ma-
neuvers, particularly at high speeds.
Your INFINITI vehicle has a higher center
of gravity than a passenger car. The ve-
hicle is not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as passenger cars. Failure
to operate this vehicle correctly could re-
sult in loss of control and/or a rollover
accident.
• Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted, or
radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the front
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully.
• Be sure to check the brakes immediately
after driving in mud or water. For addi-
tional information, see “Brake precau-
tions” (P. 5-165).
• Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills.
If you get out of the vehicle and it rolls
forward, backward or sideways, you
could be injured. •
Whenever you drive off-road through
sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel
hub, more frequent maintenance may be
required. For additional information, see
“Maintenance under severe operating
conditions” (P. 9-7).
INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL
DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS (if so equipped)
WARNING
• Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
• Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or
radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the front
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully.
• This vehicle is not designed for off-road
(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy
or muddy roads that tires may get stuck
in. •
For AWD equipped vehicles, do not at-
tempt to raise two wheels off the ground
and shift the transmission to any D
(Drive) or R (Reverse) position with the
engine running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
• Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions test-
ing), or similar equipment even if the
other two wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with AWD before it is placed
on a dynamometer. Using the wrong test
equipment may result in drivetrain dam-
age or unexpected vehicle movement
which could result in serious vehicle dam-
age or personal injury.
• When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively.
