SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in
miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour
(km/h).
Odometer/twin trip odometer
The odometers1and twin trip odometers2are
displayed when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The odometer records the total distance the
vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the distance of
individual trips. Changing the display :
Pushing the TRIP/RESET knob
s3at the bottom
right of the combination meter panel changes
the display as follows:
TRIP A !TRIP B !TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer :
Pushing the TRIP/RESET switch
s3for more
than 1 second resets the trip odometer to zero.
Average fuel economy and distance to empty
information is also available. (See ªHOW TO
USE STATUS BUTTONº in the ª4. Monitor, cli-
mate, audio, phone and voice recognition sys-
temsº section.)
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (RPM). Do not rev the engine
into the red zone
s1.
The scale length and the red zone vary with the
engine model.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red zone,
shift to a higher gear or reduce engine speed.
Operating the engine in the red zone may cause
serious engine damage.

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the compass display
sBwill indicate
the direction of the vehicle's heading.
If the display reads ªCº, calibrate the compass
by driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at
less than 5 MPH (8 km/h). You can also cali-
brate the compass by driving your vehicle on
your everyday route. The compass will be cali-
brated once it has tracked 3 complete circles.
To turn on and off the compass manually, push
the
switchsAwhile the ignition switch is
in the ON position.

ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass readings.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for
your particular location if this happens:
1. Push theswitch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance number on the zone map.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
3. Push theswitch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After you
release the switch, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
c If the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an INFINITI
retailer.
c The compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up

After the ignition switch is pushed ON, this light
illuminates for about 1 second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning :
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate. If
you select the tire pressure information in the
display, the LOW PRESSURE information will be
displayed. The tire pressure for each tire will
also be displayed.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading Information
label. The low tire pressure warning light does
not automatically turn off when the tire pres-
sure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended 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.
For additional information, see ªTIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)º in the ª5. Start-
ing and drivingº section and ªTIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)º in the ª6. In case
of emergencyº section. For the tire pressure
information display, see ªHOW TO USE INFO
BUTTONº in the ª4. Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systemsº 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
pushed ON. The light will remain on after 1
minute. Have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
For additional information, see ªTIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)º in the ª5. Start-
ing and drivingº section.
WARNING
c
If the light does not illuminate with the igni-
tion switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible. c
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 in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may lead to
an accident and could result in serious per-
sonal injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the rec-
ommended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the
light stays on after adjusting the tire pres-
sure and driving over 16 MPH (25 km/h), have
the system checked by an INFINITI retailer. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare
tire as soon as possible.
c When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer
as soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
