2010 INFINITI M charging

orBrake warning
light
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator :
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light comes on when the parking brake is
applied.
Low brake fluid warning light :
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the
light comes on while the engine is running with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle
and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brakefluid as necessary. (See ªBRAKE FLUIDº in
the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-yourselfº
section.)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning indica-
tor :
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate
the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the
brake system checked, and if necessary re-
paired, by an INFINITI retailer promptly. (See
ªAnti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning lightº
earlier in this section.)
WARNING
c
Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly if the warning light is on. Driving could
be dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive
carefully to the nearest service station for
repairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dangerous.
c Pressing the brake pedal with the engine
stopped and/or low brake fluid level may
increase your stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.
c If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked at an INFINITI retailer.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is run-
ning, it may indicate the charging system is not functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, see
an INFINITI retailer immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.
Door open warning light
This light comes on when any of the doors are
not closed securely while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If
the light flickers or comes on during normal
driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop the
engine
immediately and call an INFINITI retailer
or other authorized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is not de-
signed to indicate a low oil level. Use the dip-
stick to check the oil level. (See ªENGINE OILº in
the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-yourselfº sec-
tion.)

REAR SWITCHES FOR CLIMATE
CONTROL (if so equipped)
The rear seat passengers can adjust the climate
control system using the climate controls in the
rear armrest panel.
ªAUTOº button: automatic climate control
mode on
ª
º button: Fan speed control up (Max fan
speed !return to Low fan speed)
ª
º button: Temperature control up/down
OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the air flow from
the foot outlets may not operate for a maximum
of 150 seconds. This is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air will flow
normally from the foot outlets. The sunload sensor
sAon the instrument panel
helps maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around this sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner
heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide. To replace the filter, contact an
INFINITI retailer. The filter should be replaced if air flow is ex-
tremely decreased or when windows fog up eas-
ily when operating heater or air conditioning
system.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your INFINITI is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not
harm the earth's ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are required
when servicing your INFINITI air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage to your climate control
system. (See ªCAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FUEL/LUBRICANTSº in the ª9. Technical and
consumer informationº section for climate con-
trol system refrigerant and lubricant recommen-
dations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly climate control sys-
tem.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air con-
ditioner service should be done only by an ex-
perienced technician with the proper
equipment.
