Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
A Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add
Air warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display 1 and the low tire pressure
warning light 2 will illuminate when one or more
tires are low in 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 mi (1.6 km) 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 tire to the recommended COLD tir\
e 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 an\
d 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 (25 km/h). The
Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add Air warning message and low tire pressure
warning light will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and then r\
emains on, the
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an INFINITI\
retailer.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicl\
e’s operation and the
outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature o\
f the air inside
the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may caus\
e the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the\
tire pressure in your tires.
• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always pr\
ior to long
distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ease refer to
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” 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 “Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Hybrid Awareness
Your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your \
vehicle while it is ON but the
engine is not running, the engine will automatically start, informing yo\
u that the car is still ON.
Do not store your INFINITI Intelligent Key within the detection range of\
the vehicle. This may
cause welcome lights and other functions to activate, creating unwanted \
battery drain.
The hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. Ac\
tivation of the
electric mode may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full \
battery display does
not indicate the vehicle should be in the electric mode.
The ready to drive indicator light illuminates when the hybrid system is powered and the
vehicle may be driven.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Direct Response Hybrid™ System Warning Light
This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ON positio\
n
and will extinguish when the hybrid system is started.
The light will also illuminate when a malfunction occurs in the electric\
motor or hybrid system.
When this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle \
in a safe location and
contact an INFINITI retailer.
If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate\
that the Li-ion battery
charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display 1 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 extinguish when the
vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened
and the or button 2 is pressed.
If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction
Indicator Light may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
