the driver's door opening, see "Tire and load-
ing information label". The low tire pressure
warning light does not automatically turn
off when the tire pressure is adjusted. After
the tire is inflated to the recommended pres-
sure, the vehicle must be driven at speeds
above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate 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 ap-
pears each time the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position as long as the low tire
pressure warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see "Vehicle in-
formation display" later in this section and
"Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)".
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The light
will remain on after 1 minute. Have the sys-
tem 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, see "Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)".WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
•If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch pushed ON, have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
•If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, 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 in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure. Seri-
ous 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 illumi-
nates while driving after adjusting the
tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If youhave a flat tire, replace it with a replace-
ment tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced without a TPMS sen-
sor tire pressure 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 ve-
hicle's tires replaced and/or TPMS sys-
tem 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.
2-10Instruments and controls

malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the ve-
hicle that prevent the TPMS from working
properly. Always check the TPMS telltale af-
ter replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
The vehicle's wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tire pressures in all four tires The
tire pressure monitor warns you if the pres-
sure drops in one or more of the tires The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is shown in the
vehicle information display. After a few min-
utes of driving, the current tire pressure of
each tire is shown in the [Serv.] menu of the
vehicle information display.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect
electrical medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact their
electrical medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
•If the low tire pressure warning light il-
luminates or a tire pressure-related
warning is displayed by the vehicle in-
formation display while driving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, 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 likeli-
hood of tire failure. Serious vehicle dam-age could occur and may lead to an acci-
dent and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the tire and loading informa-
tion label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a replacement tire as
soon as possible.
•If a replacement wheel is fitted without
an INFINITI TPMS Sensor, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire pres-
sure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. It is recommended you
contact an INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
•For models with run-flat tires, although
you can continue driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, remember that ve-
hicle handling stability is reduced, which
could lead to an accident and personal
injury. Also, driving a long distance at
high speeds may damage the tires.
–Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than approximately 93 miles
(150 km) with a punctured run-flat
tire. The actual distance the vehicle

•When a replacement tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately
1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. It is recommended you Con-
tact an INFINITI retailer as soon as pos-
sible for tire replacement and/or system
resetting.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
•If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to
repair a minor tire puncture, the TPMS
sensor should be checked when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
monitors tire pressure of all tires. When the
low tire pressure warning light is lit, and a tire
pressure-related warning (if equipped) ap-
pears in the vehicle information display, one
or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. If the vehicle is being driven with low
tire pressure, the TPMS will activate and
warn you of it by the low tire pressure warn-
ing light (in the meter panel). This system willactivate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h).
For more details about the TPMS, see "Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)".
STOPPING VEHICLE
WARNING
•Be sure to apply the parking brake
firmly.
•Be sure that P (Park) is engaged.
•Never change tires when the vehicle is
on a slope, ice or slippery area. This is
hazardous.
•Never change tires when the oncoming
traffic is close to your vehicle. Call for
professional road assistance.
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road away
from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard indicator flasher lights.
3. Park on a level surface.
4. Apply the parking brake.
5. Press the P (Park) button.
6. Turn off the engine.7. Open the hood and set up the triangle
reflector (if equipped):
•To warn other traffic.
•To signal professional road assistance
personnel that you need assistance.
8. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle
and stand in a safe place, away from
other traffic and clear of the vehicle.
In case of emergency6-3

adversely affect the ride, braking, han-
dling, VDC system, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clear-
ance, speedometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height. Some of
these effects may lead to accidents and
could result in serious personal injury.
•For 2WD models, if your vehicle was
originally equipped with 4 tires that
were the same size and you are only re-
placing 2 of the 4 tires, install the new
tires on the rear axle. Placing new tires
on the front axle may cause loss of ve-
hicle control in some driving conditions
and cause an accident and personal in-
jury.
•If the wheels are changed for any rea-
son, always replace with wheels which
have the same offset dimension. Wheels
of a different offset could cause prema-
ture tire wear, degrade vehicle handling
characteristics, affect the VDC system
and/or interference with the brake
discs. Such interference can lead to de-
creased braking efficiency and/or early
brake pad wear. For additional informa-
tion on wheel offset dimensions, refer to
"Wheels and Tires".
•When a replacement tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on after 1
minute. Contact an 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 TPMS sensor may be damaged if it
is not handled correctly. Be careful when
handling the TPMS sensor.
•When replacing the TPMS sensor, the ID
registration may be required. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for ID registration.
•Do not use a valve stem cap that is not
specified by INFINITI. The valve stem
cap may become stuck.
•Be sure that the valve stem caps are cor-
rectly fitted. Otherwise the valve may
be clogged up with dirt and cause a mal-
function or loss of pressure.
•Do not install a damaged or deformed
wheel or tire even if it has been repaired.
Such wheels or tires could have struc-
tural damage and could fail without
warning.
•The use of retread tires is not recom-
mended.
•For additional information regarding
tires, refer to "Important Tire Safety
Information" (US) or "Tire Safety Infor-
mation" (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.
Care of wheels
•Wash the wheels when washing the ve-
hicle to maintain their appearance.
•Clean the inner side of the wheels when
the wheel is changed or the underside of
the vehicle is washed.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners when wash-
ing the wheels.
•Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
•INFINITI recommends waxing the road
wheels to protect against road salt in ar-
eas where it is used during winter.
