ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE The gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature will vary with
the outside air temperature and driving condi-
tions. CAUTION If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature over the normal range, stop
the vehicle as soon as safely possible. If
the engine is overheated, continued op-
eration of the vehicle may seriously
damage the engine. See ªIf your vehicle
overheatsº in the ª6. In case of emer-
gencyº section for immediate action re-
quired.
FUEL GAUGE The gauge indicates the approximate fuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hill.
The gauge needle is designed to move to the
E (Empty) position when the ignition key is
turned to the OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters Empty.SIC1829 SIC1830

The low fuel warning light comes on when
the fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon
as it is convenient, preferably before the
gauge reaches E. There will be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel
gauge needle reaches E.
The indicates that the fuel filler lid is
located on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
CAUTIONO If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) may come on. Refuel as soon as
possible. After a few driving trips, the
lamp should turn off. If the lamp
remains on after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an au-
thorized INFINITI retailer.
O For additional information, see the
ªMalfunction indicator lamp (MIL)º
later in this section.
Push COMP switch to turn the display on or off
when the ignition key is in the ON position. The

on, the cruise control system is operational.
Cruise set switch indicator
lightThe light comes on while the vehicle speed is
controlled by the cruise control system. If the
light blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate the cruise control system is not func-
tioning properly. Have the system checked by
your INFINITI retailer.
High beam indicator light
(Blue)This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL)If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator lamp 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 ve- hicle has at least three gallons (14 liters) of fuel
in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the lamp should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on in
one of two ways:
O Malfunction indicator lamp on steady Ð An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel filler cap. If
the fuel filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The lamp should turn off after
a few driving trips. If the lamp does
not turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
INFINITI retailer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the retailer.
O Malfunction indicator lamp blinking Ð An
engine misfire has been detected which
may damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades. d) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator lamp may stop
blinking and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized 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.
Slip indicator light This indicator will blink when the VDC system
or the traction control system is operating, thus
alerting the driver to the fact that the road
surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing
its traction limits.

WARNINGO Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
O Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
O Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH KEY (Driver's side)
Power The power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors, trunk lid and fuel filler lid
simultaneously.
O Turning the driver's door key to the front of
the vehicle will lock all doors, trunk lid and
fuel filler lid.
O Turning the driver's door key one time to
the rear of the vehicle will unlock the driv-
er's door. From that position, returning the
key to neutral (where the key can only be
removed and inserted) and turning it to the rear again within 5 seconds will unlock all
doors, fuel filler lid and trunk lid.
WINDOWS OPEN/CLOSE WITH
KEY Turn the driver's door key to the unlock posi-
tion and hold for about 1 second, all door
windows will begin to lower.
To stop opening, turn the key to the neutral
position.
To close all door windows, turn the key to the
lock position and hold for about 1 second.
To stop closing, turn the key to the neutral
position.
The rear door windows will operate 0.5 sec-
onds after the front windows' operation (if so
equipped).
In the event of a hand in the way, or other
obstruction, the auto reverse function will acti-
vate. SPA1421

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK Child safety locking helps prevent doors from
being opened accidentally, especially when
small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the LOCK position, the
rear door can be opened only from the
outside. It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, trunk lid
and fuel filler lid and activate the panic alarm
by using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob can operate at a distance of ap-
proximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the condi-
tions around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional keyfob, contact
your INFINITI retailer.
The keyfob will not function when:
O the battery is dead,
O the distance between the vehicle and the
keyfob is over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm and the trunk lid release
will not activate when the key is in the
ignition switch.
CAUTION The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the keyfob. O Do not allow the keyfob to become
wet.
O Do not drop the keyfob.
O Do not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.
O Do not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that
keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob from
unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing
procedure, please contact an authorized
INFINITI retailer.
