essential information
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
A Tire Pressure Low - Add Air
warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display
1 and the
low tire pressure warning light 2 will illuminate when
one or more tires are low in pressure and air is needed.



•


The tire pressures should be checked when the

tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or
driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the TPMS
with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual and audible signals to hel\
p you
inflate the tire to the recommended COLD tire pressure.
To use the tire inflation indicator:
1.


Move the shift lever to the
P (PARK) position and apply the parking brake.
2.


Place the ignition switch in the
ON position. Do not start the engine.
3.


Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the hazard\
warning lights will
start flashing.
4.


When the designated tire pressure is reached, the horn will beep once an\
d the hazard
warning flashers will stop flashing.
5.


Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
mph (25 km/h). The
Tire Pressure Low - Add Air warning message and low tire pressure warning light
will extinguish.
Hybrid Awareness
Your vehicle is virtually silent in the electric mode. If you exit your \
vehicle while it is ON

but the engine is not running, the engine will automatically start, info\
rming you that the
car is still ON.
Do not store your INFINITI Intelligent Key within the detection range of\
the vehicle. This
may cause welcome lights and other functions to activate, creating unwan\
ted battery drain.
The hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. Ac\
tivation of the
electric mode may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full \
battery display does
not indicate the vehicle should be in the electric mode.
For more information, refer to the “HEV Overview (section HEV)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Direct Response Hybrid Warning Light
This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ON position
and will extinguish when the hybrid system is started.
The light will also illuminate when a malfunction occurs in the
electric motor or hybrid system.
When this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle \
in a safe location
and contact an INFINITI retailer.
If the hybrid system warning light blinks while driving, it may indicate\
that the Li-ion
battery charge is low and you cannot continue to drive.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

essential information
Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display
1 when the
fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single
click is heard.
The warning message will extinguish when the vehicle
detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the
reset button
2 is pressed for about 1 second. If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction Indicator Light
may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments
(section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.

When the low tire pressure warning light flashes for approximately 1 min\
ute and then remains

on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an \
INFINITI retailer.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicl\
e’s operation and the
outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature o\
f the air inside
the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may caus\
e the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the\
tire pressure in your tires.



•

Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always pr\
ior to long distance trips.
The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ease refer to
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” in your Owner’\
s Manual for the location
of the Tire and Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Fuel-filler Door
The fuel-filler door is located on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
The fuel-filler door automatically locks or unlocks
when the driver’s door is locked or unlocked.
To open the fuel-filler door, push the right side of
the fuel-filler door and release.
For more information, refer to the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Towing Your Vehicle
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Vehicle:



•

An all-wheel drive vehicle must be towed with all wheels off the ground,\
even if the
vehicle is placed in the 2WD mode.
For proper towing and to avoid accidental damage to your vehicle, NISSAN\
recommends
that a service operator tow your vehicle after carefully reading the Own\
er’s manual
precautions.
For more information, refer to the “In case of emergency (section 6)” of your Owner’s Manual.
