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 (MIL)
comes on steady or blinks while the en-
gine is running, it may indicate a poten-
tial emission control malfunction.
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 vehicle 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 emis-
sion control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator lamp comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 sec-
onds when the engine is not running, it
indicates that the vehicle is not ready for
an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. See ªReadiness for
inspection/maintenance (I/M) testº in the
ª9. Technical and consumer informationº
section of this manual.
Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on in one of two ways:
O Malfunction indicator lamp on steady
Ð An emission control system mal-
function 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
INFINITI dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the re-
tailer.
O Malfunction indicator lamp blinking Ð
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission con-
trol system. To reduce or avoid emis-
sion control system damage:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or decel-
eration.
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.

indicator light come on with the VDC sys-
tem turned on, this light alerts the driver
to the fact that the VDC system fail-safe
mode is operating and the system may
not be functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked by an INFINITI dealer. If a
malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled but the
vehicle is still driveable. For additional in- formation, see ªVehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) systemº in the ª5. Starting and
