Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add
Air warning message will appear in the vehicle
information 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 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above
16 MPH (25 km/h). The Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add Air warning message
and low tire pressure warning light will disappear.
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 reta\
iler.
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 temperature o\
f the air inside
the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may caus\
e the low tire pressure
warning light 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
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)”, “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Hybrid Awareness
Your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your \
vehicle while it is ON, but the
engine is not running, the engine will automatically start, informing yo\
u that the car is still ON.
Do not store your INFINITI Intelligent Key within detection range of the\
vehicle. This may
cause welcome lights and other functions to activate creating unwanted b\
attery drain.
The hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. Ac\
tivation of the
electric mode may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full \
battery display does
not indicate the vehicle should be in the electric mode.
The READY to drive indicator light illuminates when the hybrid system is powered and the
vehicle may be driven.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and Driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Active Lane Control (if so equipped)
Active lane control assists in stable driving. The system corrects front\
tire angles and
steering wheel torque allowing the driver to make fewer steering wheel c\
orrections. These
corrections may cause slight steering wheel vibrations.
Active lane control is active when:



•

The vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 45 MPH and above.



•

When the lane departure prevention and active lane control systems are e\
nabled in the
Settings menu.
