TPMS reset INFINITI QX30 2018 Owners Manual

low tire pressure warning light illuminates to
indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see "Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)" in the "5. Start-
ing and driving" section.
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 you
have 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.
Malfunction Indicator light
(MIL) (yellow)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, the yellow Malfunction Indicator
light illuminates. This means that the system
is operational.
If the yellow engine malfunction indicator
light lights up while the engine is running,
there may be a fault, for example:
•In the engine management
•In the fuel injection system
•In the exhaust system
•In the ignition system (for vehicles with
gasoline engines)
•In the fuel system
•In other monitored items, for example the
automatic transmission.
2-10Instruments and controls

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

tion on wheel offset dimensions, refer to
"Wheels and Tires" in the "9. Mainte-
nance and Schedules" section.
•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 In-
formation" (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.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle han-
dling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be performed
with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balanc-
ing the wheels on the vehicle could lead to
mechanical damage.

refer to "Important Tire Safety Information"
(US) or "Tire Safety Information" (Canada)
in the Warranty Information Booklet.
