4WD warning light (
model)
The 4WD warning light comes on when the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON position. It turns
off soon after the engine is started. If the engine or vehicle is not functioning properly,
the warning light will either remain illuminated or
blink. See “4WD warning light” in the “Starting
and driving” section.

If the warning light comes on or blinks
during operation, have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI dealer as soon
as possible.

in the 4H or 4LO position. If the 4WD
warning light turns on when you are
driving on dry hard surface roads:

– in the 4LO position, stop the vehicle, move the automatic transmission
shift selector lever to the N position
and shift the 4WD shift switch to

as possible.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is conve-
nient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches E
(Empty) . There will be a small reserve of fuel
in the tank when the fuel gauge needle
reaches E (Empty) .
Low tire pressure warning light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire
pressure of all tires except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about 1 second
and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the warning light will illuminate. If you select
the tire pressure information in the display, the
LOW PRESSURE warning message will be dis-
played. The tire pressure for each tire will also be
displayed.
