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
Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) ON indicator light
(green; if so equipped)
The light comes on in green when the Lane
Departure Prevention (LDP) system is turned on.
The light turns off when the system is turned off.
NOTE:
This light is common with the lane departure
warning light (orange). (See “Lane departure
warning light” earlier in this section.)
For more details, see “LANE DEPARTURE WARN-
ING (LDW)/PREVENTION (LDP) SYSTEM” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
Low beam indicator light
The light illuminates when the front park, side
marker, tail and license plate lights are on.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also come
on steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose ormissing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check
to make sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and
closed tightly, and that the vehicle has at least
3 US gallons (14 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is
not ready for an emission control system
inspection/maintenance test. (See “READINESS
FOR INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST” in
the “9. Technical and consumer information”
section.)
Operation :
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
● Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel-filler cap if the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning (if so equipped)
appears in the dot matrix liquid crystal dis-
play. If the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing,
tighten or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
light should
turn off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI retailer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the retailer.
● Malfunction indicator light blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH (72 km/h).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades.
d) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
retailer. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the retailer.
Instruments and controls2-19
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;
if it is covered, the photo sensor reacts as if it is
dark and the headlights will illuminate.Headlight beam select
1To select the low beam, put the lever in the
neutral position as shown.
2To select the high beam, push the lever
forward while the switch is in the
position. Pull it back to select the low beam.
3Pulling the lever toward you will flash the
headlight high beam even when the head-
light switch is in the OFF position.

WARNING
When the daytime running light system is ac-
tive, tail lights on your vehicle are not on. It is
necessary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident injur-
ing yourself and others.
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)
(if so equipped)
The Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) will
automatically adjust the headlights (low beam)
toward the turning direction to improve the
driver’s view. When the headlight switch is ON
and the driver operates the steering wheel in a
turn, the AFS system will be activated.
The AFS will operate:
●when the headlight switch is ON.
● when the selector lever is in any position
other than P (Park) or R (Reverse). ●
when the vehicle is driven at above 16 MPH
(25 km/h) for the left-side headlight. Note
that the right-side low beam headlight will
swivel but the left side will not swivel when
the vehicle is at a stop and the steering
wheel is turned. The vehicle must attain a
speed above 16 MPH (25 km/h) before AFS
activates the left-side headlight.
To turn the AFS off, push the AFS switch. (The
AFS OFF indicator light will illuminate.) Push the
switch again to turn the system on again.
AFS will also adjust the headlight to a proper
axis automatically, depending on the number of
occupants in the vehicle, the load the vehicle is
carrying and the road conditions.
If the AFS OFF indicator light blinks after the
ignition switch has been pushed to the ON
position, this may indicate that the AFS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked
by an INFINITI retailer. When the engine is
started, the headlights will vibrate to check the
system condition. This is not a malfunction.

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.
