The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air con-
ditioner.AUDIO OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
•The driver must not attempt to operate
the audio system while the vehicle is in
motion, so that full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
•Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before operat-
ing the audio system and playing movies
(if equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods of
time with the engine turned off can dis-
charge the vehicle battery.
•Do not allow the system to get wet. Ex-
cessive moisture such as spilled liquids
may cause the system to malfunction.
Radio
Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio when the engine is not
running, the ignition switch should be pushed
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in re-
ception quality are normally caused by these
external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to ex-
tend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving
vehicle, even when the best quality equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are com-
pletely normal in a given reception area, and
do not indicate any malfunction in your radio
system.

Compressed audio files
(MP3/WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms:
•MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well known compressed digital audio
file format. This format allows for near
“CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the
size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion
of an audio track can reduce the file size by
approximately a 10:1 ratio (sampling: 44.1
kHz, bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no
perceptible loss in quality. The compres-
sion reduces certain parts of sound that
seem inaudible to most people.
•WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling stor-
age of more digital audio tracks in the
same amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality.
•Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music file.
The size and quality of a compressed digi-
tal audio file is determined by the bit rate
used when encoding the file.
•Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
is the rate at which the samples of a signal
are converted from analog to digital (A/D
conversion) per second.
•Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods for writing data to media. Writing
data once to the media is called a single
session, and writing more than once is
called a multisession.
•ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the digital
music file such as song title, artist, album
title, encoding bit rate, and track time du-
ration, etc. ID3 tag information is dis-
played on the Album/Artist/Track title line
on the display.

WARNING
•Never leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or controls
and inadvertently become involved in a
serious accident and injure themselves.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal
illness to people or animals.
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent
it from sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
•To avoid raising the center of gravity
excessively, do not exceed the rated ca-
pacity of the roof rack (if so equipped)
and evenly distribute the load.
EXHAUST GAS (CARBON
MONOXIDE)
WARNING
•Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can
cause unconsciousness or death.
•If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows fully open, and have the vehicle
inspected immediately.
•Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
•Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for an extended period of time.
•Keep the lift gate closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gas could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the lift gate open, fol-
low these precautions: – Open all the windows.
– Turn the air recirculation switch off
and set the fan control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
•If electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal ion the lift gate or body, follow the manufacturer's recommendations
to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
•The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever: – You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
– You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
– You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST (IF
EQUIPPED)
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Ex-
haust gas in the three-way catalyst is burned
at high temperatures to help reduce pollut-
ants.
WARNING
•The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals and
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
5-4Starting 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
