essential information
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
   A Che
C k t I re pre SS ure 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 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
    After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at   
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The Che
C k t I re  
pre
SS ure warning message and the low tire pressure   
warning light will disappear.
    w hen the low tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and then re\
mains on, the TPMS 
is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an INFINITI reta\
iler.
   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 	 prior 	 to 	 long 	 distance 	 trips.
   The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ease refer to section 9,   
“Technical and consumer information”, in your Owner’s Manual fo\
r 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.
