essential information
Loose Fuel Cap
  A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear
    in the vehicle information display
 
01 when the 
    fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly. 
 
  To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click 
    is heard.
 
  The warning message will disappear when the vehicle 
    detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the 
    reset button
 
02 is pressed for about 1 second.
 
  If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction 
    Indicator Light
 
 may illuminate.
f
or more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”  
and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your 
Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator 
   A Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning message will 
    appear in the vehicle information display
 
01 and the 
 
    low tire pressure warning light
 02 will illuminate when 
 
    one or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed.  
	 	 •	 	 The tire pressures should be checked when the 
      tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after 
      the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or 
      driven less than 1 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.
 
  When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS 
    with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual and 
    audible signals to help you inflate the tires to the 
    recommended COLD tire pressure.  
To use the tire inflation indicator:  
  1.   Move the shift lever to the P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.  
  2.   Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the engine.  
  3.   Add air to the under-inflated tire and within a few seconds, the hazard warning lights will start   
   flashing.  
  4.   When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once and the hazard warning   
    flashers will stop flashing.  
  5.   Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.  
 
  After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h). The   
   Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning light will disappear.  
 
  When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 minute and then remains   
    on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an INfINITI retailer.

essential information
   Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the   
    outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature 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 illuminates in low ambient temperature, check   
    the tire 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, “Technical and consumer information” in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire   
    and Loading Information label.
for more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the “Mainte-
nance  and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
