OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
You should pay special attention to road condi-
tions when temperatures are around freezing
point.
Bear in mind that the outside temperature
display indicates the measured air temperature
and not the road surface temperature
Depending on the vehicle specification, the
outside temperature display is in either the
upper display or the main screen of the vehicle
information display. SeeVehicle information
displayin the2. Instruments and controls
section.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).Do not rev the
engine in the red zone.
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.

gine is overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the engine. For
additional information, refer toIf your vehicle
overheatsin the6. In case of emergency
section for immediate action required.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, accelerating, or going up and down
hills due to movement of fuel in the tank.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
The low fuel warning
appears on the
vehicle information display when the fuel level
in the tank is getting low.Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers 0
(Empty).

tance (seeBrake systemin the5. Starting and
drivingsection).
BRAKE warning light (red)
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly if the warning light is on. Driving could be
dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive
carefully to the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed be-
cause driving it could be dangerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the ignition
switch is not in the ON position and/or when
the brake fluid level is low may increase the
stopping distance and braking will require
greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
•If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light remains illuminated and turns
off when the engine is started. If the light illumi-
nates at any other time, it may indicate that the
brake system is not functioning properly. If the
BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle
immediately and contact an INFINITI retailer.
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Low tire pressure warning
light (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the
tire pressure of all its tires.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Low tire pressure warming light illuminates
to indicate that the system is operational. The
light then tuns off within a few seconds after
the engine is started.
Low tire pressure warning
:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the warning light will illuminate. A tire
pressure warning message also appears in the
vehicle information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pressure
of all 4 tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening, seeTire and
loading information labelin the9. Maintenance
and Schedulessection. The low tire pressure warn-
ing light does not automatically turn off when the
tire pressure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to
Instruments and controls2-9

the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to acti-
vate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure
warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure.
The low tire pressure warning message appears
each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure warn-
ing light remains illuminated.
For additional information, seeVehicle infor-
mation displaylater in this section andTire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)in the5.

tion.
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
placed in the ON position. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. The low tire pressure warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, seeTire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)in the5. Starting
and drivingsection.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
•If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•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 increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury or death. Check
the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the tire placard, located
in the driver’s door opening, to turn the low
tire pressure warning light off. If the light
still illuminates while driving after adjust-
ing the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a replacement
tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced without a TPMS sensor tire pres-
sure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have
your vehicle’s tires replaced and/or TPMS
system reset as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
these services.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
•The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular
tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire
pressure regularly.
•If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS may
not operate correctly.
•Be sure to install the specified size of tires
to all four wheels correctly.
