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
NSD660
5-6Starting and driving

can be driven on a flat tire depends on
outside temperature, vehicle load,
road conditions and other factors.
– If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. The tire may be se-
riously damaged and need to be re-
placed.
•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 (for models
equipped with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit). It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
•INFINITI recommends using only
INFINITI Genuine Emergency Tire Seal-
ant provided with your vehicle. Other
tire sealants may damage the valve stem
seal which can cause the tire to lose air
pressure (for models equipped with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit).
CAUTION
•The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
snow chains or the wheels are buried in
snow.
•Do not place metallized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function
properly.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommended cold tire pres-
sure suitable for the operating situation (see
"Wheels and tires" in the "8. Do-it-yourself"
section). Note that the correct tire pressure
for the current operating situation must first
be taught-in to the tire pressure monitor (see
"Restarting TPMS" later in this section).
If there is a substantial loss of pressure, the
warning threshold for the warning message
is aligned to the reference values taught-in.
Restart the tire pressure monitor after ad-
justing to the cold tire pressure. The current
pressures are saved as new reference values.
This will ensure that a warning message will
only appear if the tire pressure drops signifi-
cantly. The tire pressure monitor does not warn you
of an incorrectly set tire pressure.
TPMS is not able to warn you of a sudden
loss of pressure, e. g. if the tire is penetrated
by a foreign object. In the event of a sudden
loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a halt by
braking carefully. Avoid abrupt steering ma-
neuvers.
TPMS has a yellow warning light in the com-
bination meter for indicating a pressure loss
or malfunction. Depending on how the warn-
ing light flashes or lights up, a tire pressure
that is too low or a malfunction in TPMS is
indicated:
•If the warning light is lit continuously, the
tire pressure on one or more tires is signifi-
cantly too low. TPMS is not malfunction-
ing.
•If the warning light flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the
TPMS is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning light, a message
appears in the vehicle information display.
Observe the information on display mes-
sages (see "Safety systems" in the "2. Instru-
ments and controls" section
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunc-
tion of the tire pressure monitor to be indi-
cated. A malfunction will be indicated by the
Starting and driving5-7

tire pressure warning light flashing for ap-
proximately one minute and then remaining
lit. When the fault has been rectified, the tire
pressure warning light goes out after you
have driven for a few minutes.
The tire pressure values indicated by the ve-
hicle information display may differ from
those measured at a filling station using a
pressure gauge. The tire pressures shown by
the vehicle information display are those
measured at sea level. At high altitudes, the
tire pressure values indicated by a pressure
gauge are higher than those shown by the
vehicle information display. In this case, do
not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor
can be affected by interference from radio
transmitting equipment (e.g. radio head
phones, two-way radios) that may be being
operated in or near the vehicle.
Checking the tire pressure
electronically
1. Make sure that the ignition switch is in theON position.
2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [Serv.] menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select
[Tire Pressure]. 4. Press to confirm.
The current tire pressure for each wheel
will be displayed in the vehicle information
display.
If the vehicle was parked for longer than 20
minutes, the [Tire pressures will be displayed
after driving a few minutes] message is
shown.
After a teach-in period, the tire pressure
monitor automatically detects new wheels or
new sensors. If a clear allocation of tire pres-
sure to individual wheels is not possible, the
Tire pressure monitor active message is
shown instead of the tire pressure display.
The tire pressures are already being moni-
tored.
If a replacement wheel is fitted, for a few
minutes the system may continue to show
the tire pressure of the wheel that has been
removed. If this occurs, note that the value
displayed for the position where the replace-
ment wheel is fitted is not the same as the
current tire pressure of the replacement
wheel.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
warning messages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a pressure
loss in one or more tires, a warning message
is shown in the vehicle information display
and the yellow tire pressure monitor warning
light comes on.
•If the [Please Correct Tire Pressure] (yel-
low) message appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display, the tire pressure in at least
one tire is too low and must be corrected
at the next opportunity. If the system de-
tects that new sensors have been fitted
(IDs do not match those stored, and the
pressure is not feasible, or is less than 14%
under the norm then the [Please Correct
Tire Pressure] message will be displayed in
white.
•If the [Check Tires] (red) message appears
in the vehicle information display, the tire
pressure in one or more tires has dropped
significantly and the tires must be checked.
•If the [Warning Tire Malfunction] (red)
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display, the tire pressure in one or
more tires has dropped suddenly and the
tires must be checked.
•If the [Tire Press. Sensor(s) Missing] mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information display, one or more sensors are missing or
cannot be detected. This could be the re-
sult of fitting a replacement wheel/tire.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the display messages in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are inter-
changed, the tire pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for a short time. After
a few minutes of driving, this is rectified and
the tire pressures are displayed for the cor-
rect positions.
Restarting TPMS
To keep the TPMS functioning properly, the
restart operation must be performed in the
following cases:
•When the tire pressure is adjusted
•When a tire or a wheel is replaced
•When the tires are rotated
When you restart the tire pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted
and the warning lights go out. The monitor
uses the currently set tire pressures as the
reference values for monitoring. In most
cases, the tire pressure monitor will auto-
matically detect the new reference values af-
ter you have changed the tire pressure. How-
ever, you can also define reference values manually as described here. The tire pressure
monitor then monitors the new tire pressure
values.
Perform the following procedures to restart
the TPMS.
NOTE
Before restarting, make sure that the tire
pressures are set properly on all four tires for
the respective operating conditions. The
recommended tire pressures can be found in
the tire pressure placard on the driver' door
pillar.
1. Make sure that the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
2. Press the
orbutton on the
steering wheel to select the [Serv.] menu.
3. Press the
orbutton to select
[Tire Pressure].
4. Press to confirm. The vehicle information display shows the
current tire pressure for each tire or the
[Tire pressures will be displayed after
driving a few minutes] message.
If you wish to confirm the restart:
5. Press to confirm.

The BSW system uses radar sensorsAin-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent
lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated. This detection
zone starts from the outside mirror of your
vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3 m)
behind the rear bumper, and approximately
10 ft (3 m) sideways.

AMENU barThe BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (30 km/h). When the BSW is
activated, the side indicator light illuminates
in yellow up to a speed of 20 MPH (30
km/h). At speeds above 20 MPH (30 km/h),
the indicator light goes out and the BSW
system is operational. Illustration 1:

Illustration 2:If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. The BSW indica-
tor light continues to flash until the detected
vehicles leave the detection zone.
NOTE
•The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
•The brightness of the BSW indicator lights
is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
•If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal,
then only the BSW indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See "Another ve-
hicle approaching from behind" later in this
section.)
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver ac-
tivates the turn signal.
WARNING
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example audio sys-
tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
•The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as: – Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
– Several types of vehicles such as mo-
torcycles
– Oncoming vehicles
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop. –
A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
•Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operating
condition.
