Owner’s Manual Supplement
The information contained within this supplement revises or adds to the “Tire Pressure” section of the “WHEELS AND TIRES” section in the “Do-it­yourself” section in the 2019 INFINITI QX50 and 2020 INFINITI QX50 Owner’s Manual.
Read carefully and keep in vehicle.

WHEELS AND TIRES
If you have a flat tire, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of emergency” section of this manual.
TIRE PRESSURE Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influ­ences before use.
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit and the “Tire Pressure Low – Add Air” warning appears in the vehicle information dis­play, one or more of your tires is sig­nificantly under-inflated. If equipped, the system also displays pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the dis-
play screen by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving).
For additional information, refer to “Low tire pressure warning light” in the “Instruments and controls” section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” section and “Flat tire” in the “In case of emergency” section of this manual.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the spare) often and always prior to long distance trips. The recommended tire pressure specifications are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica­tion label or the Tire and Loading In­formation label under the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire and Load­ing Information label is affixed to the
driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should be checked regularly because:
∙ Most tires naturally lose air over
time.
∙ Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other ob­jects or if the vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at mod­erate speeds.
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual and audible signals outside the vehicle for inflating the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure. For additional information, refer to “TPMS with tire inflation indi­cator” in the “Starting and driving” sec­tion of this manual.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un­der inflation, may adversely affect tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
∙ Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident.
∙ The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica­tion label. The vehicle weight ca­pacity is indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label. Do not load your vehicle beyond this ca­pacity. Overloading your vehicle may result in reduced tire life, un­safe operating conditions due to premature tire failure, or unfavor­able handling characteristics and could also lead to a serious acci­dent. Loading beyond the speci­fied capacity may also result in failure of other vehicle components.
∙ Before taking a long trip, or when-
ever you heavily load your vehicle, use a tire pressure gauge to ensure that the tire pressures are at the specified level.
∙ For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Infor­mation Booklet.
Tire and Loading Information label
1
Seating capacity: The maximum
number of occupants that can be seated in the vehicle.
2
Original tire size: The size of the
tires originally installed on the ve­hicle at the factory.
3
Cold tire pressure: Inflate the tires
to this pressure when the tires are cold. Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. The recommended cold tire inflation is set by the manu­facturer to provide the best bal­ance of tire wear, vehicle handling, driveability, tire noise, etc., up to the vehicle’s GVWR.

Checking tire pressure
WARNING
∙ Driving at high speeds, 100 mph
(160 km/h) or higher sustained where it is legal to do so, can cause tires to have excessive heat build up, which may result in a tire fail­ure causing loss of control, crash, injuries or even death.
∙ Some high-speed rated tires re-
quire inflation pressure adjust­ment for high-speed operation. When speed limits and road condi­tions allow vehicle driving at high speeds, make sure tires are rated to support high speed operation, tires are in optimal conditions and pressure is adjusted to correct cold inflation pressure for high speed operation.
∙ If your vehicle is equipped with
P235/55RF19 or P255/45RF20 tire sizes, tires require adjustment to the inflation pressure when driving the vehicle at speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) or higher where it is legal to do so. Set the cold inflation pressure to 36 psi (250 kPa).
∙ After vehicle high speed operation
has ended, readjust the tire pres­sure to the recommended cold in­flation pressure, For additional in­formation refer to the "Checking tire pressure" section of this manual.
1. Remove the valve stem cap from the tire.
2. Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too hard or force the valve stem sideways, or air will escape. If the hissing sound of air escaping from the tire is heard while checking the pressure, re­position the gauge to eliminate this leakage.
3. Remove the gauge.
4. Read the tire pressure on the
gauge stem and compare to the specification shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
5. Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the core of the valve stem briefly with the tip of the gauge stem to re­lease pressure. Recheck the pres­sure and add or release air as needed.
6. Install the valve stem cap.
7. Check the pressure of all other tires, including the spare.
8. Check the pressure when driving the vehicle at speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) or higher where it is legal to do so.

∙ For the most effective protection when
thevehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. For additional information, refer to “Precautions on seat belt usage” in this section.
∙ After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
∙ Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly acti­vate switches or controls or make the ve­hicle move. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve­hicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assis­tance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera­ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
∙ Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driv-
ing so full attention may be given to ve­hicle operation. The seat may move sud­denly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
∙ The seatback should not be reclined any
more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of slid­ing under the lap belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure not to contact any moving parts to avoid possible injuries and/or damage.

FRONT POWER SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Operating tips
∙ The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor stops during operation, wait 30 seconds then reactivate the switch.
∙ Do not operate the power seat switch for
a long period of time when the engine is off. This will discharge the battery.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the seatback for occupants of different sizes for added comfort and to help obtain proper seat belt fit. For additional information, refer to “Precautions on seat belt usage” in this section. Also, the seatback can be reclined to allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the shift lever is in P (Park).
