WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-11

CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.
Distance Control Assist (DCA)
system warning light
(orange; if so equipped)
This light comes on if there is a malfunction in
the Distance Control Assist (DCA) system.
If the warning light illuminates, park the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the
engine, resume driving and turn on the DCA
system again.
If it is not possible to turn on the system or the
warning light stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle
is still driveable under normal conditions, have
the vehicle checked at an INFINITI retailer.
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
engineimmediately 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 “ENGINE OIL” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.)
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light on could cause serious dam-
age to the engine almost immediately. Such
damage is not covered by warranty. Turn off the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so.
Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) system warning light
(orange; if so equipped)
This light comes on if there is a malfunction in
the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the
engine, resume driving and set the ICC system
again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the sys-
tem is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is
still driveable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked at an INFINITI retailer.
Intelligent Key warning
light
After the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, this light comes on for about 2 sec-
onds and then turns off.
This light warns of a malfunction with the
electrical steering lock system (if so equipped)
or the Intelligent Key system.
If the light comes on while the engine is
stopped, it may be impossible to free the
steering lock (if so equipped) or to start the
engine. If the light comes on while the engine is
running, you can drive the vehicle. However in
these cases, contact an INFINITI retailer for
repair as soon as possible.
Lane departure warning light
(orange; if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the light will come on in orange, turn
green, and then turn off. This indicates that the
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Depar-
ture Prevention (LDP) systems are operational.
While the LDW and/or LDP system is on, the
light will blink in orange and a warning chime
will sound if the vehicle is traveling close to
either the left or the right of a traveling lane
with detectable lane markers.

AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chime
A chime will sound if the driver side door is
opened while the ignition switch is pushed to
the ACC position or pushed to the OFF or LOCK
position with the Intelligent Key left in the
Intelligent Key port. Make sure the ignition
switch is pushed to the OFF position, and take
the Intelligent Key with you when leaving the
vehicle.
Light reminder chime
A chime will sound when the driver side door is
opened with the light switch in theorposition and the ignition switch in the
ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
Turn the light switch off when you leave the
vehicle.
Parking brake reminder chime
The parking brake reminder chime will sound if
the vehicle is driven at more than 4 MPH
(7 km/h) with the parking brake applied. Stop
the vehicle and release the parking brake.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-
ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it
will make a high pitched scraping sound when
the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound
will first occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake pad,
the sound will always be heard even if the brake
pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the warning
sound is heard.
Lane departure warning chime (if so
equipped)
When the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) or
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system is on,
the chime sounds if the vehicle is traveling
close to either the left or the right of a traveling
lane with detectable lane markers.
See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM/LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion for more details. The dot matrix liquid crystal display1is
located between the tachometer and the speed-
ometer, and it displays the automatic transmis-
sion position indicator, the Intelligent Cruise
Control (ICC) system (if so equipped), the Dis-
tance Control Assist (DCA) system (if so
equipped) information, the Intelligent Key op-
eration information and other warnings and
information.
