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 pushed ON, 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 CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning also
appears in the dot matrix liquid crystal
display. If you select the tire pressure
information in the display, the LOW PRES-
SURE information will be displayed. The
tire pressure for each tire will also be
displayed.

When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended 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
pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.

The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning is
active as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated.

WARNING

. If the light does not illuminate with the

ignition switch pushed ON, have the
vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible.

. If the light illuminates or LOW PRESSURE

information is displayed on the monitor
screen 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 increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information
label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If the light still
illuminates while driving after adjusting
the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.

. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel

is replaced, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.

. 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.

Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL)

If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control malfunction.

The malfunction indicator light may also
come on steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure the fuel-filler cap is
installed and closed tightly, and that the
vehicle has at least 3 US gallons (14 liters)
of fuel in the fuel tank.

After a few driving trips, the

light

should turn off if no other potential
emission control system malfunction ex-
ists.

If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/main-
tenance test. (See

“Readiness for Inspec-

tion/Maintenance (I/M) test

” in the “9.

Technical and consumer information

” sec-

tion.)

Operation:

The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady —

An emission control system malfunc-
tion has been detected. Check the fuel-
filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP
warning appears in the dot matrix
liquid crystal display. If the fuel-filler
cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The

light should turn off

after a few driving trips. If the

light

does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI retailer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the retailer.

. Malfunction indicator light blinking —

An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission con-
trol system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45

MPH (72 km/h).

2) Avoid hard acceleration or decelera-

tion.

3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of

cargo being hauled or towed.

The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI retailer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the retailer.

CAUTION

Continued vehicle operation without having
the emission control system checked and
repaired as necessary could lead to poor
driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
possible damage to the emission control
system.

Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
. Vehicle security system
. INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, hood, or lift gate when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a
motion detection type system that acti-
vates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.

The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your Intelligent Key(s) in the
vehicle, and always lock it when unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings,
and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever
possible.

Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and speci-
alty shops. Your INFINITI retailer may also
offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be
eligible for discounts for various theft
protection features.

How to arm the vehicle security
system

1. Close all windows.

The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.

2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF

position.

3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the

vehicle.

4. Close all doors, hood and lift gate. Lock

all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, power door lock switch or
mechanical key.

5. Confirm that the security indicator light

comes on. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. After about 30 seconds the
vehicle security system automatically
shifts into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every
approximately 3 seconds. If, during this
30-second pre-arm time period, the
door is unlocked, or the ignition switch
is pushed to ACC or ON, the system will
not arm.

Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood, and lift gate locked
with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position. When pushing the ignition switch
to the ACC or ON position, the system will
be released.

Vehicle security system activation

The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn

sounds intermittently.

. The alarm automatically turns off after

approximately 50 seconds. However,
the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is

tampered with again.

The alarm is activated by:
. Unlocking the door or opening the lift

gate without using the button on the
Intelligent Key, the door handle request
switch or the mechanical key. (Even if
the door is opened by releasing the
door inside lock knob, the alarm will
activate.)

. Opening the hood.

How to stop an activated alarm

The alarm will stop when a door is
unlocked by pushing the unlock button
on the Intelligent Key, the door handle
request switch or using the mechanical
key, or when the ignition switch is pushed
to the ACC or ON position.

If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
