•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 permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage could oc-
cur and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury or death.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
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
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 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 Light
(MIL) (if so equipped)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate a potential 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 gal (11.4 L) of
fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine 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).

Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning indicator will illumi-
nate. A “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”
warning also appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
When the low tire pressure warning indica-
tor appears, 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 indicator does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is ad-
justed. 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 indicator. Use a tire pres-
sure 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 indicator remains
illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle in-
formation display—12.3 inch (31 cm) Type B”
(P. 2-44), “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P. 5-5) or (P. 6-3).
TPMS malfunction
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning indicator will flash
for approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The indi-
cator will remain on after 1 minute. Have the
system 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
indicator appears to indicate a TPMS
malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P. 5-5) and “Tire
pressure” (P. 8-28).
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 indicator does not appear 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 indicator appears 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. Driv-
ing 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
pressure 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 pres-
sure indicator off. If the indicator still ap-
pears 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.

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

5-6Starting and driving
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).
