ignition INFINITI QX60-HYBRID 2016 Owner's Manual

Low tire pressure warning light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire
pressure of all tires except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about 1 second
and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
A “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
also appears in the vehicle information dis-
play.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all four tires to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label located
in the driver’s door opening. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is ad-
justed. After the tire is inflated to the rec-
ommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h )to activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pres-
sure gauge to check the tire pressure.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning is
active as long as the low tire pressure warning
light remains illuminated.
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle infor-
mation display” in the “Instruments and controls”
section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” section and
the “In case of emergency” section of this manual.
TPMS malfunction
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. The light will remain on
after the 1 minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”
warning does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS mal-
function.
For additional information, refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and
driving” section and “Tire pressure” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
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 placed in the ON posi-
tion, have the vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
2-10Instruments and controls

●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. Se-
rious 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 recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on
the tire placard label located in the driv-
er’s door opening to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the light
still illuminates while driving after ad-
justing the tire pressure, a tire may be
flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with
a spare tire as soon as possible. ●
Since the spare tire is not equipped with
the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted
or a wheel is replaced tire pressure will
not be indicated, 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. 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.
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the master warning light illuminates if any of the
following are displayed on the vehicle information
display:
● No key warning
● Low fuel warning
● Low washer fluid warning
● Parking brake release warning
● Door open warning
● Loose fuel cap warning (if so equipped)
● Check tire pressure warning
For additional information, refer to “Vehicle infor-
mation display” in this section.
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.
Instruments and controls2-11

●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 recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the power steering warning light illumi-
nates. After starting the engine, the power steer-
ing warning light turns off. This indicates that the
electric power steering system is operational.
If the power steering warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, it may indicate the power
steering system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing. Have the hydraulic pump electric
power steering system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the power steering warning light illuminates
with the engine running, there will be no power
assist for the steering but you will still have control
of the vehicle. At this time, greater steering effort is
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.
Seat belt warning light and chime
The light and chime remind you to fasten your
seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the
ignition switch is placed in the ON or START
position and remains illuminated until the driver’s
seat belt is fastened. At the same time, the chime
sounds for about 6 seconds unless the driver’s
seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also illuminate if
the front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened
when the front passenger’s seat is occupied . For
7 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the system does not activate the
warning light for the front passenger.
For additional information, refer to “Seat belts” in
the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section for precautions on seat
belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warninglight
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning light
illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off. This means the system is operational. If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact air bag,
roof-mounted curtain air bag and pretensioner
systems need servicing:
● The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
● The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
● The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
these services. Unless checked and repaired, the
supplemental restraint system (air bag system)
and/or the pretensioner systems may not func-
tion properly. For additional information, refer to
“Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)” in the
“Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental re-
straint system” section of this manual.
