warning message will appear in

matrix liquid crystal display
01 when the

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A
Ch
EC k t I r E P r ESSU r E warning message will



ap
pear in the dot matrix liquid crystal display
01
and the lo
w tire pressure warning light 02 will

i
lluminate when one or more tires are low on



pr

essure and air is needed.
• The

tire

pressures


should

be

checked

when the




tir

es are cold. The tires are considered cold after



the

vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or



driv

en less than 1 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.
Af ter tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle



at
speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h). The C h EC k



t I r E P r ESSU r E warning message and low tire



pr
essure warning light will disappear.
When the lo w tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and then remains on, the TPMS



i
s not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
Tir e pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the



outs
ide temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the



tir
e, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure



w
arning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check



the tir
e pressure in your tires.
• Check


the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always

prior to long distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section 9,



“T
echnical and consumer information”, in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire and



L
oading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
