•When using 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 approxi-
mately 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 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 the four wheels correctly.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate a potential emission control
malfunction.
The MIL may also come on steady if the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds when
the engine is not running, it indicates that the
vehicle is not ready for an emission control
system inspection/maintenance test. For ad-
ditional information, see “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test”
(P. 10-32).

Your vehicle has two types of security
systems:
• Vehicle security system
• INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, liftgate or hood when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs.The system helps deter vehicle theft but can-
not prevent it nor can it prevent the theft of
interior or exterior vehicle components in all
situations. Always secure your vehicle even if
parking for a brief period. Never leave your
Intelligent Key in the vehicle, and always lock
the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of
your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit
areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification
markers, and tracking systems, are available
at auto supply stores and specialty shops. An
INFINITI retailer may also offer such equip-
ment. Check with your insurance company to
see if you may be eligible for discounts for
various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof (if so
equipped). (The system can be armed even
if the windows and moonroof are open.)
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, or power door lock switch.

SECURITY SYSTEMS
Instruments and controls2-29

4. Confirm that thesecurity indicator
light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-armed.
The vehicle security system will automati-
cally shift into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every
three seconds. If during the pre-armed
phase one of the following occurs, the
system will not arm:
• Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent Key or door request switch.
• Ignition switch is placed in AUTO ACC or ON position.
• Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all the doors, hood and liftgate locked
with the ignition switch placed in the
LOCK position. When placing the ignition
switch in the AUTO ACC or ON position,
the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the fol-
lowing alarm:
• The turn signals blink and the horn sounds intermittently. • The alarm automatically turns off after a
period of time. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm can be shut off by pressing the
button on the Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
• Opening the door or liftgate without using the Intelligent Key (even if the door is un-
locked by releasing the door inside lock
switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s
door or the liftgate by pressing the
button on the Intelligent Key or pushing the
request switch on the driver's or passenger's
door with the Intelligent Key in range of the
door handle.
INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will
not allow the engine to start without the use
of a registered INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System key. If the engine fails to start using a registered
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key (for
example, when interference is caused by an-
other INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
key, an automated toll road device or auto-
matic payment device on the key ring), restart
the engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de- vice (which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI
recommends placing the registered INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a separate
key ring to avoid interference from other
devices.
