● Make sure the lid of the rear seat cup holders
is closed before folding the rear seatback.
WARNING
● Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo area
or on the rear seat when it is in the fold-down
position. Use of these areas by passengers
without proper restraints could result in se-
rious injury in an accident or sudden stop.
● When returning the seatbacks to the upright
position, be certain they are completely se-
cured in the latched position. If they are not
completely secured, passengers may be in-
jured in an accident or sudden stop.
● Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.

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

Automatic transmission
check warning light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds. If
the light comes on at any other time, it may
indicate the transmission is not functioning
properly. Have your INFINITI retailer check and
repair the transmission.
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 “BRAKE FLUID” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
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
“Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
earlier in this section.)
WARNING
●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.
● 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. ●
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.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
system warning light
(orange; if so equipped)
If the light comes on in orange and remains on,
it may indicate that the BSW system is not
functioning properly. Although the vehicle is
still driveable, have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer. See “BLIND SPOT WARNING
(BSW) SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.
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.

light will illuminate. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds
if the supplemental front air bag and supple-
mental side air bag, curtain side-impact air bag
systems and/or pretensioner seat belt are op-
erational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and
pretensioner systems needs servicing and your
vehicle must be taken to your nearest INFINITI
retailer.
●The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
● The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
● The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Unless checked and repaired, the supplemental
restraint systems and/or the pretensioners seat
belt (air bag system) may not function properly.
For additional information, see “SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM” in the “1. Safety — Seats,
seat belts and supplemental restraint system”
section.WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on,
it could mean that the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag systems and/or preten-
sioner systems will not operate in an accident.
To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have
your vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible.
Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light
The light will blink when the VDC system or the
traction control system is operating, thus alert-
ing the driver that the vehicle is nearing its
traction limits. The road surface may be slip-
pery.
When the vehicle dynamic control warning light
illuminates when the vehicle dynamic control
system is turned on, this light alerts the driver
to the fact that the vehicle dynamic control
system’s fail-safe mode is operating, for ex-
ample the vehicle dynamic control system may
not be functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer. If a malfunction
occurs in the system, the vehicle dynamic con-
trol system function will be canceled but the
vehicle is still driveable. For additional informa- tion, see “VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Adaptive Front lighting
System (AFS) indicator light
(if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the Adaptive Front lighting System
(AFS) indicator light will illuminate. The light
will turn off in about 1 second if the AFS is
operational.
If the AFS indicator light blinks, it may indicate
the AFS is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
See “Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)” later
in this section.
Automatic transmission
position indicator light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the indicator shows the automatic
selector shift position. (See “AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and steering column will automatically move
when the automatic transmission selector lever
is in the P (Park) position. This allows the driver
to get into and out of the driver’s seat more
easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up when the driver’s
door is opened with the ignition switch in the
OFF position.
The driver’s seat and steering wheel will return
to the previous positions when one of the
following is operated:
●When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ACC position after the driver’s door is
closed.
● When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position.
● When the Intelligent Key is inserted into the
port after the driver’s door is closed.
