How to speak numbers
Voice Recognition requires the user speak num-
bers in a certain way when giving voice com-
mands.
General rule
:
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. (For
example, if speaking 500, “five zero zero” can
be used, but “five hundred” cannot.)Examples
:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero six six two six two zero
zero”
For the best recognition, speak “zero” for the
number “0” and “oh” for the letter “o”.

The vehicle’s wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tire pressures in all four tires The
tire pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tires The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is shown in the
vehicle information display. After a few minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each tire
is shown in the [Serv.] menu of the vehicle
information display.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electri-
cal medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemake should contact their electrical
medical equipment manufacturer for the
pssible influences before use.
•If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates or a tire pressure-related warning is
displayed by the vehicle information dis-
play while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce ve-
hicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible. 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 ac-cident 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 replace-
ment tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement wheel is fitted without an
INFINITI TPMS Sensor, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute. It is
recommended you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
•For models with run-flat tires, although you
can continue driving with a punctured run-
flat tire, remember that vehicle handling
stability is reduced, which could lead to an
accident and personal injury. Also, driving a
long distance at high speeds may damage
the tires.
– Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH (80
km/h) and do not drive more than ap-
proximately 93 miles (150 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual dis-
tance the vehicle can be driven on a flat

tire depends on outside temperature, ve-
hicle load, road conditions and other fac-
tors.
– If you detect any unusual sounds or vi-
brations while driving with a punctured
run-flat tire, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. The tire may be seriously dam-
aged and need to be replaced.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
•If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to repair
a minor tire puncture, the TPMS sensor
should be checked when repairing or re-
placing the tire (for models equipped with
the emergency tire puncture repair kit). It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
•INFINITI recommends using only INFINITI
Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tire sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can
cause the tire to lose air pressure (for mod-
els equipped with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit).
CAUTION
•The TPMS may not function properly when
the wheels are equipped with snow chains
or the wheels are buried in snow.
•Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows. This
may cause poor reception of the signals
from the tire pressure sensors, and the
TPMS will not function properly.
It is the driver’s responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure
suitable for the operating situation (see
Wheels and tires in the8. Do-it-yourself
section). Note that the correct tire pressure for
the current operating situation must first be
taught-in to the tire pressure monitor (see
Restarting TPMS later in this section).
If there is a substantial loss of pressure, the
warning threshold for the warning message is
aligned to the reference values taught-in. Re-
start the tire pressure monitor after adjusting to
the cold tire pressure. The current pressures are
saved as new reference values. This will ensure
that a warning message will only appear if the
tire pressure drops significantly. The tire pressure monitor does not warn you of
an incorrectly set tire pressure.
TPMS is not able to warn you of a sudden loss
of pressure, e. g. if the tire is penetrated by a
foreign object. In the event of a sudden loss of
pressure, bring the vehicle to a halt by braking
carefully. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
TPMS has a yellow warning lamp in the combi-
nation meter for indicating a pressure loss or
malfunction. Depending on how the warning
lamp flashes or lights up, a tire pressure that is
too low or a malfunction in TPMS is indicated:
•If the warning lamp is lit continuously, the
tire pressure on one or more tires is signifi-
cantly too low. TPMS is not malfunctioning.
•If the warning lamp flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the
TPMS is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a message
appears in the vehicle information display. Ob-
serve the information on display messages (see
Safety systems in the2. Instruments and
controls section
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunction
of the tire pressure monitor to be indicated. A
malfunction will be indicated by the tire pres-
sure warning lamp flashing for approximately
one minute and then remaining lit. When the
Starting and driving5-7

fault has been rectified, the tire pressure warn-
ing lamp goes out after you have driven for a
few minutes.
The tire pressure values indicated by the ve-
hicle information display may differ from those
measured at a filling station using a pressure
gauge. The tire pressures shown by the vehicle
information display are those measured at sea
level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure values
indicated by a pressure gauge are higher than
those shown by the vehicle information display.
In this case, do not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radio transmit-
ting equipment (e.g. radio head phones, two-
way radios) that may be being operated in or
near the vehicle.Checking the tire pressure
electronically
1. Make sure that the ignition switch is in theON position.
2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [Serv.] menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select
[Tire Pressure].
4. Press <OK> to confirm. The current tire pressure for each wheel will
be displayed in the vehicle information dis-
play. If the vehicle was parked for longer than 20
minutes, the [Tire pressures will be displayed
after driving a few minutes] message is shown.
After a teach-in period, the tire pressure moni-
tor automatically detects new wheels or new
sensors. If a clear allocation of tire pressure to
individual wheels is not possible, the Tire pres-
sure monitor active message is shown instead
of the tire pressure display. The tire pressures
are already being monitored.
If a replacement wheel is fitted, for a few
minutes the system may continue to show the
tire pressure of the wheel that has been re-
moved. If this occurs, note that the value dis-
played for the position where the replacement
wheel is fitted is not the same as the current tire
pressure of the replacement wheel.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
warning messages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a pressure
loss in one or more tires, a warning message is
shown in the vehicle information display and
the yellow tire pressure monitor warning lamp
comes on.
•If the [Please Correct Tire Pressure] (yellow)
message appears in the vehicle information
display, the tire pressure in at least one tire
is too low and must be corrected at the next
opportunity. If the system detects that new
sensors have been fitted (IDs do not match
those stored, and the pressure is not fea-
sible, or is less than 14% under the norm
then the [Please Correct Tire Pressure] mes-
sage will be displayed in white.
•If the [Check Tires] (red) message appears in
the vehicle information display, the tire pres-
sure in one or more tires has dropped sig-
nificantly and the tires must be checked.
•If the [Warning Tire Malfunction] (red) mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, the tire pressure in one or more tires
has dropped suddenly and the tires must be
checked.
•If the [Tire Press. Sensor(s) Missing] mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, one or more sensors are missing or
cannot be detected. This could be the result
of fitting a replacement wheel/tire.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the
display messages in the vehicle information
display.
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are inter-
changed, the tire pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for a short time. After a
few minutes of driving, this is rectified and the
tire pressures are displayed for the correct
positions.
Restarting TPMS
To keep the TPMS functioning properly, the
restart operation must be performed in the
following cases:
•When the tire pressure is adjusted
•When a tire or a wheel is replaced
•When the tires are rotated
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamps go out. The monitor uses the
currently set tire pressures as the reference
values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire
pressure monitor will automatically detect the new reference values after you have changed
the tire pressure. However, you can also define
reference values manually as described here.
The tire pressure monitor then monitors the
new tire pressure values.
Perform the following procedures to restart the
TPMS.
NOTE
Before restarting, make sure that the tire pres-
sures are set properly on all four tires for the
respective operating conditions. The recom-
mended tire pressures can be found in the tire
pressure placard on the driver’ door pillar.
1. Make sure that the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [Serv.] menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select
[Tire Pressure].
4. Press <OK> to confirm. The vehicle information display shows the
current tire pressure for each tire or the [Tire
pressures will be displayed after driving a
few minutes] message.

ON PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than pas-
senger cars to make them capable of perform-
ing in a variety of on-pavement and off-road
applications. This gives them a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An advantage of
higher ground clearance is a better view of the
road, allowing you to anticipate problems. How-
ever, they are not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive
vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns at high speeds. As with other
vehicles of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
For additional information, refer to
Driving
safety precautions later in this section.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of control or
an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey
all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed,
high speed cornering, or sudden steering ma-
neuvers, because these driving practices could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
As with any vehicle, loss of control could result
in a collision with other vehicles or objects or
cause the vehicle to roll over, particularly if the
loss of control causes the vehicle to slide side-
ways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid
driving when tired. Never drive when under the
