SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
The supplemental air bag warning light,
displaying
in the instrument panel,
monitors the circuits of the supplemental
front-impact air bag, front seat-mounted
side-impact supplemental air bag, roof-
mounted curtain side-impact supplemental
air bag, and seat belt pretensioner sys-
tems. The monitored circuits include the Air
bag Control Unit (ACU), satellite sensors,
crash zone sensor, occupant classification
system, front air bag modules, side air bag
modules, curtain air bag modules, preten- sioner, front passenger air bag status light
and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates for about 7 seconds and
then turns off. This means the SRS air bag
systems are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems need servi-
cing:
.
The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on approximately 7 seconds
after the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag or pretensioner
systems may not operate properly. They
must be checked and repaired. Take your
vehicle to the nearest INFINITI retailer.

Odometer/twin trip odometer
Odometer/twin trip odometer
The odometer*1and twin trip odometer
*2are displayed on the dot matrix crystal
display when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the dis-
tance of individual trips.
Changing the display:
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch
*3on the
right of the combination meter panel
changes the display as follows: TRIP A
?TRIP B ?TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer:
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch
*3for more
than 1 second resets the trip odometer to
zero.
Average fuel economy and distance to
empty information is also available. (See
“ Dot matrix liquid crystal display ”later in
this section and “How to use STATUS
button ”in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems ”
section.)
SIC4320
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). Do not rev
the engine into the red zone
*1.
The scale length and the red zone vary with
the engine model.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce engine
speed. Operating the engine in the red zone
may cause serious engine damage.

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going up
or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to “0 ” (Empty)
after the ignition switch is pushed to the
OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “0”(Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
dot matrix liquid crystal display when the fuel level is getting low. Refuel as soon as
it is convenient, preferably before the
gauge reaches
“0 ”. There will be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel
gauge needle reaches “0 ”.
CAUTION
. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
. For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) ”later in
this section.
