The distance to empty, average fuel economy
and current fuel economy will be displayed for
reference.

Econ), select the “Reset Fuel Eco” key.
If the “Fuel Eco History” key is selected, the

“Metric”. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON”
later in this section.)
The fuel economy information may differ from
the information displayed on the vehicle infor-
mation display. This is due to the timing differ-
ence in updating the information and does not
indicate a malfunction.
TIRE PRESSURE information
WARNING
●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. ●
Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
The tire pressure will be displayed for refer-
ence.
The pressure indication “** kPa” or “** psi” on
the screen means that the pressure is being
measured. After a few driving trips, the pres-
sure for each tire will be displayed.
To change the measurement units, select the
“Select Units” key with the INFINITI controller
and push the ENTER button.
In case of low tire pressure, LOW PRESSURE
information will be displayed on the screen.
Check the pressure of all tires.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the
heat caused by the vehicle’s traveling condition
and the temperature.
After tire rotation is performed, tire pressure
will not be displayed in the actual tire position.
Drive the vehicle at over 25 MPH (40 km/h) for
approximately 10 minutes to reset the display.
