WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-10Instruments and controls

Automatic transmission
position indicator light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the indicator shows the automatic
selector position.
In the manual shift mode, when the transmis-
sion does not shift to the selected gear due to a
transmission protection mode, the AT position
indicator light will blink and a chime will sound.
See “AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section for further details.
Check suspension indicator
light
When the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds.
Cruise indicator light (if so
equipped)
Cruise main switch indicator :
This light illuminates when the cruise control
main switch is pushed. The light turns off when
the main switch is pushed again. When the
cruise main switch indicator light illuminates,
the cruise control system is operational. (See
“CRUISE CONTROL” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)Cruise malfunction :
If the cruise indicator light blinks while the
engine is running, it may indicate the cruise
control system is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked by an INFINITI retailer. (See
“CRUISE CONTROL” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
Front passenger air bag
status light
The front passenger air bag status light ()
located on the instrument panel will be lit and
the passenger front air bag will be OFF depend-
ing on how the front passenger seat is being
used.
For front passenger air bag status light opera-
tion, see “INFINITI ADVANCED AIR BAG SYSTEM
(front seats)” in the “1. Safety — Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system” sec-
tion of this manual.
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
off indicator light (if so
equipped)
The light illuminates when the Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA) off switch is pushed to OFF. This
indicates that the Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
system is not operating.
When the IBA off indicator light illuminates
while the system is turned on (without the
warning chime sound), this light indicates that
the system control is temporarily unavailable.
When the IBA off indicator light illuminates with
the warning chime sound while the IBA system
is turned on, this light indicates that the system
may not be functioning properly. Park the ve-
hicle in a safe place. Check to see if the laser
sensor is clean. Turn the engine off, then restart
the engine.
If the IBA off indicator light illuminates after
following the procedures above, it may indicate
that the system is malfunctioning. Although the
vehicle is still driveable under normal condi-
tions, have the vehicle checked at an INFINITI
retailer. (See “INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST (IBA)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion.)
2-18Instruments and controls

The autolight system can turn on the headlights
automatically when it is dark and turn off the
headlights when it is light.
For US models: The headlights will also be
turned on automatically at twilight or in rainy
weather (when the windshield wiper is operated
continuously).
If the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position and one of the doors is opened and
this condition is continued, the headlights re-
main on for 5 minutes.
Automatic headlights off delay :
You can keep the headlights on for up to 180
seconds after you push the ignition switch to
OFF and open any door then close all the doors.
You can adjust the period of the automatic
headlights off delay from 0 seconds (OFF) to 180
seconds. The factory default setting is 45 sec-
onds.
For automatic headlights off delay setting, see
“Light Off Delay” in the “4. Monitor, climate,
audio, phone and voice recognition systems”
section.Be sure not to put anything on top of the photo
sensor
Alocated on the top of the instrument
panel. The photo sensor controls the autolight;

HEADLIGHTS
Replacing
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is
not a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, contact an INFINITI retailer.
Xenon headlight bulb :
If replacement is required, see an INFINITI re-
tailer.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they produce a
high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced at
an INFINITI retailer. For additional information,
see “HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section.
