(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.

CAUTIONDo not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows. This
may cause poor reception of the signals from
the tire pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
FCC Notice:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance 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, in-
cluding interference that may cause un-
desired 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 exces-
sive speed, high speed cornering, or sud-
den steering maneuvers. These driving
practices could cause you to lose control
of your vehicle. As with any vehicle, a loss
of control could result in a collision with
other vehicles or objects, or cause the ve-
hicle to rollover, particularly if the loss of
control causes the vehicle to slide side-
ways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid
driving when tired. Never drive under the
influence of alcohol or drugs (including
prescription or over-the-counter drugs
which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in the ª1.
Safety Ð Seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint systemº section 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 in-
jured 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 im-
pairs judgement. Driving after drinking alco-
hol increases the likelihood of being in-
volved 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 al-
cohol. Every year thousands of people are
injured or killed in alcohol related acci-
dents. Although the local laws vary on
what is considered to be legally intoxi-
cated, the fact is that alcohol affects all
people differently and most people under-
estimate the effects of alcohol.

Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using
a vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush.
Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces with a
clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft
bristled cloth.
Regular care and cleaning is required in
order to maintain the appearance of the
leather.
Before using any fabric protector, read
the manufacturer's recommendations.
Some fabric protectors contain chemicals
that may stain or bleach the seat mate-
rial.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to
clean the meter and gauge lens.
CAUTIONO Never use gasoline, thinner, or any simi-
lar material. O Small dirt particles can be abrasive and
damaging to leather surfaces and should
be removed promptly. Do not use saddle
soap, car waxes, polishes, oils, cleaning
fluids, solvents, detergents or ammonia-
based cleaners as they may damage the
leather's natural finish.
O Never use fabric protectors unless rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
O Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may
damage the lens cover.
FLOOR MATS The use of genuine INFINITI floor mats can
extend the life of your vehicle carpet and
make it easier to clean the interior. No
matter what mats are used, be sure they
are fitted for your vehicle and are properly
positioned in the footwell to prevent inter-
ference with pedal operation. Mats should
be maintained with regular cleaning and
replaced if they become excessively worn. Floor mat positioning aid
(driver's side only) This model includes a front floor mat
bracket
q A
to act as a floor mat posi-
tioning aid. INFINITI floor mats have been
specially designed for your vehicle model.
The driver's side floor mat has a grommet
hole incorporated in it. Simply position
the mat by placing the floor mat bracket
through the floor mat grommet hole while
centering the mat in the floorpan contour.
Periodically check to make certain that
the mats are properly positioned. SAI0012A

SEAT BELTS The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping
them with a sponge dampened in a mild
soap solution. Allow the belts to dry com-
pletely before using them. See ªSeat belt
maintenanceº in the ª1. Safety Ð Seats,
seat belts and supplemental restraint sys-
temº section.
WARNINGDo not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the
retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye, or
chemical solvents to clean the seat belts,
since these materials may severely weaken
the seat belt webbing. MOST COMMON FACTORS
CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE
CORROSION O The accumulation of moisture-
retaining dirt and debris in body panel
sections, cavities, and other areas.
O Damage to paint and other protective
coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor traffic accidents.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
INFLUENCE THE RATE OF
CORROSION
Moisture Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on
the vehicle body underside can accelerate
corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry
completely inside the vehicle, and should
be removed for drying to avoid floor panel
corrosion.
Relative humidity Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of
high relative humidity, especially those
areas where the temperatures stay above
freezing and where atmospheric pollution
exists and road salt is used. Temperature A temperature increase will accelerate the
rate of corrosion to those parts which are
not well ventilated.
Air pollution Industrial pollution, the presence of salt
in the air in coastal areas, or heavy road
salt use will accelerate the corrosion pro-
cess. Road salt will also accelerate the
disintegration of paint surfaces.
TO PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION O Wash and wax your vehicle often to
keep it clean.
O Always check for minor damage to the
paint and repair it as soon as pos-
sible.
O Keep drain holes at the bottom of the
doors open to avoid water accumula-
tion.
O Check the underbody for accumulation
of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash
with water as soon as possible.CORROSION PROTECTION
