Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information
and system operation limitations.
•

A cellular telephone should not be used for any purpose while

driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation.
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Supplemental air bags do not replace proper seat belt usage.
•


Children 12 and under should always ride in the rear seat
properly secured in child restraints or seat belts according to their

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
A Flat Tire Visit Dealer or Tire Pressure Low — Add Air warning message will appear 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.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS
with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual and
audible signals to help you inflate the tire to the
recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the Tire Inflation Indicator:
1.


Move the shift lever to the
P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
2.


Place the ignition switch in the ON position. Do not start the hybrid sy\
stem.
3.


Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the hazard\
warning lights will
start flashing.
4.


When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once an\
d the hazard
warning flashers will stop flashing.
5.


Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
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
2 will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for 1 minute and then remains on, the
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is recomme\
nded that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
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
2 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
the “Technical and consumer information (section 10)” of your Ow\
ner’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.

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 you that the vehicle
is still on.
Do not store your Infiniti Intelligent Key within the detection range of\
the vehicle.
This may cause welcome lights and other functions to activate, creating \
unwanted
battery 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.
Direct Response Hybrid™ System Warning Light
This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ON positio\
n
and will extinguish when the hybrid system is started.
The light will also illuminate when a malfunction occurs in the electric\

motor or hybrid system.
When this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle \
in a safe location and contact an INFINITI retailer.
If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate\
that the Li-ion
battery charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.
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
or button 2 on the
steering wheel 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.

ability to connect to a wireless network, compatible wireless network av\
ailability, navigation map data, and GPS satellite
signal receptions, the absence of which can limit or prevent the ability\
to reach Customer Care or receive support. AT&T
