Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display

1 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 extinguish when the
vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly
tightened and the reset button
2 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 ap-
pear 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 will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and then r\
emains 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 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, \
check the tire pres-
sure 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)” 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.
