NOTE:
If the extended storage switch malfunctions, or
if the fuse is open, it is not necessary to replace
the switch. In this case, remove the extended
storage switch and replace it with a new fuse of
the same rating.
How to remove the extended storage switch:
1. To remove the extended storage switch,be sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF”
or “LOCK” position.
2. Be sure the headlight switch is in the “OFF” position.
3. Remove the fuse box cover.
4. Pinch the locking tabs
1found on each
side of the storage switch.
5. Pull the storage switch straight out from the fuse box
2.
Replace the battery as follows:1. Release the lock knob at the back of theIntelligent Key and remove the mechanical
key.
2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver
A
wrapped with a cloth into the slitBof
the corner and twist it to separate the
upper part from the lower part. 3. Replace the battery with a new one.
Recommended battery: CR2032 or equiva-
lent.
● Do not touch the internal circuit and electric
terminals as it could cause a malfunction.
● Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the
battery across the contact points will seri-
ously deplete the storage capacity.
● Make sure that the + side faces the bottom
of the case.

HEADLIGHTS
Replacing
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is
not a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, contact an INFINITI retailer.
Xenon headlight bulb (if so equipped) :
If replacement is required, see an INFINITI re-
tailer.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they produce a
high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced at
an INFINITI retailer. For additional information,
see “HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section.Halogen headlight bulb (if so equipped) :
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type which
uses a replaceable headlight (halogen) bulb. If
replacement is required, see an INFINITI retailer
for servicing.
CAUTION
●
High pressure halogen gas is sealed inside
the bulb. The bulb may break if the glass
envelope is scratched or the bulb is dropped.
● Only touch the plastic base when handling
the bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Touching the glass could significantly affect
bulb life and/or headlight performance.
● Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for a long period of time as dust,
moisture, and smoke may enter the head-
light body and affect the performance of the
headlight.
● Aiming is not necessary after replacing the
bulb. When aiming adjustment is necessary,
contact an INFINITI retailer.

If you have a flat tire, see “FLAT TIRE” in the “6. In
case of emergency” section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire
pressure of all tires except the spare. When the
low tire pressure warning light is lit and the
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning appears on the
dot matrix liquid crystal display, one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while driving).
For more details, see “Low tire pressure warn-
ing light” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section, “TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section
and “TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)” in the “6. In case of emergency” sec-
tion.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure of the tires (includ-
ing the spare) often and always prior tolong distance trips. The recommended
tire pressure specifications are shown
on the Tire and Loading Information
label under the “Cold Tire Pressure”
heading. The Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label is affixed to the driver side
center pillar. Tire pressures should be
checked regularly because:
●Most tires naturally lose air over time.
●Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other objects
or if the vehicle strikes a curb while
parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at mod-
erate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including under
inflation, may adversely affect tire life
and vehicle handling.
WARNING
●Improperly inflated tires can fail sud-
denly and cause an accident.
●The Gross Vehicle Weight rating
(GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label. The ve-
hicle weight capacity is indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information label. Do
not load your vehicle beyond this capac-
ity. Overloading your vehicle may result
in reduced tire life, unsafe operating
conditions due to premature tire failure,
or unfavorable handling characteristics
and could also lead to a serious acci-
dent. Loading beyond the specified ca-
pacity may also result in failure of other
vehicle components.
●Before taking a long trip, or whenever
you heavily load your vehicle, use a tire
pressure gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified level.
