WARNING
•The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
•Use the displayed lines and the bird's-
eye view as a reference. The lines and the
bird's-eye view are greatly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road condition and road
grade.
•When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are farther
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
•Objects in the monitor will appear visu-
ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
•The distance between objects viewed in
the rear view differs from actual dis-
tance because a wide-angle lens is used.
•The displayed lines on the rear view will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.

WARNING
•If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may not be displayed correctly.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course.
•The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rear view
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
•If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If this
occurs, please perform the following
procedures: – Turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock while the engine is running.
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in ac-
cordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•Do not use the MOD system when tow-
ing a trailer (if available). The system
may not function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio sys-
tem volume or open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
•The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as: – When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
– When there is blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is pres-
ent.
– When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when mirror is
folded. –
When there is dirt, water drops or
snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving ob-
jects in the display is not changed.
•The MOD system might detect some-
thing like flowing water droplets on the
camera lens, white smoke from the muf-
fler, moving shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, distance or shape of the moving
objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered and the MOD sys-
tem may not detect objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not display ob-
jects clearly. This is not a malfunction.
MOD MALFUNCTION
If the orange MOD icon is displayed in the
view, the system is not functioning properly.
This will not hinder normal driving operation,
but the system should be inspected. It is rec-
ommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.

tion function is activated.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service should be done only by an experienced
technician with the proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See "Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations" in
the "9. Maintenance and Schedules" section.)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air conditioner
system.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioner system is equipped with
an air conditioner filter. To make sure the air
conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates ef-
ficiently, replace the filter in accordance with
the specified maintenance intervals listed in
the separate maintenance booklet. It is rec-
ommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.

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.

tion, refer to "Flat tire" in the "6. In case of
emergency" section.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS
AND DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream re-
duces coordination, delays reaction time
and impairs judgement. Driving after
drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of
being involved in an accident injuring your-
self and others. Additionally, if you are in-
jured in an accident, alcohol can increase
the severity of the injury.
INFINITI is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under the
influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of
people are injured or killed in alcohol-related
accidents. Although the local laws vary on
what is considered to be legally intoxicated,
the fact is that alcohol affects all people dif-
ferently and most people underestimate the
effects of alcohol. Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t
drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is
impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other
physical condition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your INFINITI is designed for both normal
and off-road use. However, avoid driving in
deep water or mud as your INFINITI is mainly
designed for leisure use, unlike a conventional
off-road vehicle.
Remember that 2–wheel drive vehicles are
less capable than all-wheel drive (AWD)
models for rough road driving and extrication
when stuck in deep snow or mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
•Spinning the front wheels on slippery
surfaces may cause the AWD warning
message to display and the AWD system
to automatically switch from the AWD
to 2WD mode. This could reduce the
traction. Be especially careful when
towing a trailer. (AWD models)
•Drive carefully when off the road and
avoid dangerous areas. Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should
be seated with their seat belt fastened.
This will keep you and your passengers
in position when driving over rough ter-
rain.
•Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead
drive either straight up or straight down
the slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip
over sideways much more easily than
they can forward or backward.
•Many hills are too steep for any vehicle.
If you drive up them, you may stall. If you
drive down them, you may not be able to
control your speed. If you drive across
them, you may roll over.
•Do not shift gears while driving on
downhill grades as this could cause loss
of control of the vehicle.
•Stay alert when driving to the top of a
hill. At the top there could be a drop-off
or other hazard that could cause an ac-
cident.
•If your engine stalls or you cannot make
it to the top of a steep hill, never at-
tempt to turn around. Your vehicle could
tip or roll over. Always back straight
down in R (Reverse) gear and apply
brakes to control your speed.
