essential information
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Inflation Indicator
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE 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 ti\
re
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 speeds above 16 \
mph (25 km/h).
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE 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 checke\
d 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 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\
ea se 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.
