Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
   A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE 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.
   After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
mph (25 km/h).   
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and low tire pressure warning light 
2   
will extinguish.
   When the low tire pressure warning light  2 flashes for 1 minute and then remains 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 temperatu\
re of the air 
inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This m\
ay cause the low tire 
pressure warning light  
2 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 the 
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of 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.
