LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-9

∙ 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 perma-
nently damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure show on the Tire and Loading
Information label 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 or the
TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a replace-
ment tire as soon as possible. If no tire is
flat and all tires are properly inflated,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service. ∙ When replacing a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, 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 tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that 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 theregular 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 the four wheels correctly.

tion, the master warning light illuminates if

For additional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display” in this section.
Engine oil pressure warninglight
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If
the light flickers or comes on during normal
driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop
the engine immediately and call an INFINITI
retailer or other authorized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate a low oil level. Use the
dipstick to check the oil level. For additional
information, refer to “Engine oil” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause seri-
ous damage to the engine almost immedi-
ately. Such damage is not covered by war-
ranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Power steering warning
light
WARNING
∙ If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the
steering will not work. Steering will be
harder to operate.
∙ When the power steering warning light illuminates with the engine running,
there will be no power assist for the
steering. You will still have control of the
vehicle, but the steering will be harder to
operate. Have the power steering system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Models with Direct Adaptive Steering®:
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the power steering warning light illuminates.
After starting the engine, the power steering
warning light stays on for a few seconds and
turns off. This indicates that Direct Adaptive
Steering is operational. Drive the vehicle after
the power steering warning light turns off.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while driving, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle. If the power steering warning light turns off, you can drive
again. If the power steering warning light
continues to illuminate, have the Direct
Adaptive Steering checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. For additional information, refer
to “Power Steering” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
Models with electric power steering:
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the power steering warning light illumi-
nates. After starting the engine, the power
steering warning light turns off. This indicates
the electric power steering is operational.
If the power steering warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
electric power steering is not functioning prop-
erly and may need servicing. It is recommended
that you have the electric power steering
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, the power
assist to the steering will cease operation but
you will still have control of the vehicle. At this
time, greater steering efforts are required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds. For additional
information, refer to “Power Steering” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this manual.
