O Immediately after tire rotation is per-
formed, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated on the display and the TPMS 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 per-
forming the resetting procedure above,
contact an INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible.
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash. Contact your INFINITI dealer as
soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O Do not install a deformed wheel or tire
even if it has been repaired. Such wheels
or tires could have structural damage
and could fail without warning.
O The use of retread tire is not recom-
mended.
O For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-

CAUTION
Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or ra-
dial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a circumfer-
ence difference between tires on the front
and rear axles which will cause excessive
tire wear and may damage the transmission,
transfer case and differential gears (AWD
models).
Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular
use, wheels can get out of balance. There-
fore, they should be balanced as re-
quired.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to transmission damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information”
(Canada) in the INFINITI Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.
Care of wheels
O Wash the wheels when washing the
vehicle to maintain their appearance.
O Clean the inner side of the wheels
when the wheel is changed or the un-
derside of the vehicle is washed.
O Do not use abrasive cleaners when
washing the wheels.
O Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents
