c. You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures
to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
O The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people, animals or flammable materials away from
the exhaust system components.
O Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.
CAUTION
O Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline seriously reduce
the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
O Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of performance or other
unusual operating conditions are detected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly by an INFINITI dealer.
O Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damaging
the three-way catalyst.
O Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING
SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with the low tire
pressure warning system. It monitors tire
pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light
is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. The system also displays pressure of all tires (except the
spare tire) on the display screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed
in each wheel.
The low tire pressure warning system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 20 MPH (32 km/h). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop
in tire pressure (for example, a flat tire
while driving).
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Low outside
temperature can lower the temperature of
the air inside the tire which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. This may
cause the low tire pressure warning light
to illuminate.
If the warning light illuminates in low outside temperatures as described above,
check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Starting and driving 5-3
Z 04.12.13/Y50-D X
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.
Frequently check the tire pressure information display on the monitor screen and adjust pressure of each tire properly. See
“Vehicle information and settings” in the
“4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems” section for tire
pressure monitor.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure (lower than 27 psi, 190 kPa), the
LOW PRESSURE information message will
be displayed on the monitor screen. The
low tire pressure warning light comes on,
and the chime sounds for about 10 seconds.
If you select the tire pressure information
in the display, the LOW PRESSURE information message will be displayed.
For additional information regarding the
above warning, see “Warning/indicator
lights and audible reminders” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.
WARNING
O If the low tire pressure warning light
flashes 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. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on
the Tire andLoading Information label to
turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it with
a spare tire as soon as possible. (See
“Flat tire” in the “6. In case of emergency” section for changing a flat tire.)
O If your vehicle is equipped with run-flat
tires, you can continue driving after you
have a flat tire. However, remember that
vehicle handling stability is reduced,
which could lead to an accident
and personal injury. See “Wheels and
tires” in the “8. Maintenance and do-ityourself” section for more details and
make sure to observe the cautions about
run-flat tires. Failure to do so may result
in a serious accident.
O Immediately after a spare tire is
mounted ora wheel isreplaced, tire pressure will not be indicated on the display
and the lowtire pressure warningsystem
will not function. Reset the system by
driving the vehicle at over 25 MPH (40
km/h) for approximately 10 minutes. If
tire pressure is not indicated after performing the resetting procedure above,
contact an INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the low tire pressure
warning system.
O Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.

CAUTION
The low tire pressure warning system may
not function properly when the wheels are
equipped with tire chains or the wheels are
buried in snow.
FCC Notice:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry
Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of control or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed, high speed cornering, or sudden steering maneuvers, because these
driving practices could cause you to lose
control of your vehicle. As with any ve-
hicle, a loss of control could result in a
collision with other vehicles or objects, or
cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly
if the loss of control causes the vehicle to
slide sideways. Be attentive at all times,
and avoid driving when tired. Never drive
when under the influence of alcohol or
drugs (including prescription or over-thecounter drugs which may cause drowsiness). Always wear your seat belt as outlined in the “Seat belts” section of this
manual, and also instruct your passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted or improperly belted
person is significantly more likely to be
injured or killed than a person properly
wearing a seat belt.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/
DRUGS AND DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces coordination, delays reaction time
and impairs judgement. Driving after drinking alcohol increases the likelihood of
being involved in an accident injuring yourself and others. Additionally, if you are injured in an accident, alcohol can increase
the severity of the injury.
INFINITI is committed to safe driving. You
must not drive under the influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of people are
injured or killed in alcohol related accidents. Although the local laws vary on
what is considered to be legally intoxicated, the fact is that alcohol affects all
people differently and most people underestimate the effects of alcohol.
