mation label located in the driver’s door open-
ing, seeTire and loading information label in
the 9. Maintenance and Schedules section.
The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom-
mended 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 low tire pressure warning message appears
each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure warn-
ing light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see Vehicle infor-
mation display later in this section and Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the
5. Starting and driving section.
TPMS malfunction
:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. The low tire pressure warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunc-
tion.
For additional information, see
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) in the5. Starting
and driving section.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
•If the light does not illuminate with the ig-
nition switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•If the light illuminates while driving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt brak-
ing, 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 fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
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 recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the tire placard, located
in the driver’s door opening, to turn the low
tire pressure warning light off. If the light
still illuminates while driving after adjust-
ing the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a replacement
tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced without a TPMS sensor tire pres-
sure will not be indicated, 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. Have
your vehicle’s tires replaced and/or TPMS
system reset as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended 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.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal in-
jury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
the proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See Air conditioner sys-tem refrigerant and oil recommendations
in the
9. Maintenance and Schedules section.)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioner system is equipped with an
air conditioner filter. To make sure the air
conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter in accordance with the
specified maintenance intervals listed in the
separate maintenance booklet. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.

•Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste-
paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a
fire.
CAUTION
•Do not use leaded gasoline. (SeeRecom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities in
the 9. Maintenance and Schedules sec-
tion.) Deposits from leaded gasoline seri-
ously reduce the ability of the three-way
catalyst to help reduce exhaust pollutants
and/or damage the three-way catalyst.
•Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-
tems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of performance or
other unusual operating conditions are de-
tected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
•Do not race the engine while warming it up.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if present),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead totire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects
a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from working
properly. Always check the TPMS telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly.
Starting and driving5-5

•Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If
you get out of the vehicle and it rolls for-
ward, backward or sideways, you could be
injured.
•Whenever you drive off-road through sand,
mud or water as deep as the wheel hub,
more frequent maintenance may be re-
quired. For additional information, refer to
Maintenance schedulesin the
9. Maintenance and Schedules section.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
•Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or ra-
dial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Install tire chains on the front wheels when
driving on slippery roads and drive care-
fully.
•This vehicle is not designed for offroad
(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy or
muddy roads that tires may get stuck in.
•For AWD equipped vehicles, do not attempt
to raise two wheels off the ground and shift
the transmission to any D (Drive) or R (Re-
verse) position with the engine running. Do-
ing so may result in drivetrain damage or
unexpected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury
•Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped
vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer, (such
as the dynamometers used by some states
for emissions testing), or similar equipment
even if the other two wheels are raised off
the ground. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is equipped
with AWD before it is placed on a dynamom-
eter. Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury.
•When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively. The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring. Restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI
recommends placing the registered key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.
