Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) System  
(if so equipped)
    This system will help you return the vehicle to the  
center direction of the traveling lane by applying 
brake control to the left or right wheels individually 
(for a short period of time).
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your 
Owner’s Manual.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI)  
(if so equipped)
    The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system alerts the  
driver when another vehicle moves into the vehicle’s 
blind spot area. 
    An indicator light near the outside mirror will  
illuminate if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the 
detection zone.
    The Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI) system can assist 
the driver in returning the vehicle to the center of the 
traveling lane by applying individual brake pressure 
to the left or right wheels for a short period of time. 
    The indicator light will first illuminate in orange and  
then turn green before turning off. This indicates 
that the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot 
Intervention (BSI) systems are operational. 
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
    A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE  warning message will appear 
in the vehicle information display  
01 and the low tire 
pressure warning light  02 will illuminate when one or 
more tires are low on 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 tires 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.
 
 
5.
  
Repeat this procedure for any additional under-inflated tires.
    After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at s peeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). The 
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and low tire pressure warning light will disappear.
    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 of the ai\
r 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 section 9,  
“Technical and consumer information” 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)” , “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the “Maintenance and 
do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
