Blind Spot Warning (BSW) System (if so equipped)
The control switch is located on the left side of the
instrument panel.

The system automatically turns on when the engine
is started and the indicator light on the switch

01
illuminates.


The BS w indicator lights
02 , located next to the
outside mirrors, will activate when the BS w system
detects a vehicle in the detection zone.

detected vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the BS w
indicator light will flash.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and

Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in
the dot matrix liquid crystal display

01 when the
fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly.

To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click
is heard.

The warning message will disappear when the vehicle
detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the
reset button

02 is pressed.

If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction
Indicator Light
may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and
the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

A ChECk tIrE PrESSUrE warning message will
appear in the dot matrix liquid crystal 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 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at
speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h). The ChECk tIrE
PrESSUrE warning message and the low tire pressure
warning light will disappear.

when the low tire pressure warning light 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 vehicle’s operation and the
outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the
tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature,
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. Please refer to section 9,
“Technical and consumer information”, in 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.
