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 help 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 hybrid sy\
stem.
3. Add air to the under-inflated tire, and within a few seconds, the hazard\
warning lights will
start flashing.
Direct Response Hybrid™ Warning Light and Hybrid Awareness
DIRECT RESPONSE HYBRID WARNING LIGHT
This light will illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ON positio\
n
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.
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, informin\
g 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 \
unwanted
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)” and the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your
Owner’s Manual.

essential information
Loose Fuel Cap and Fuel-filler Door
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 on the steering wheel is pressed for about 1 second.
If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction Indicator Light may illuminate.
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 “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments

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
2
will extinguish.
When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for approximately 1 minute and
then remains on, the TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system c\
hecked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
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 temperatu\
re of the air
inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This m\
ay cause the low tire
pressure warning light
2 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 the
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of 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.
