WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS

Exterior light indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head-
light switch is turned to the AUTO,orposition and the front parking lights,
instrument panel lights, rear combination
lights, license plate lights or headlights are
on. The indicator turns off when these
lights are turned off.
Front fog light indicator light
The front fog light indicator light illumi-
nates when the front fog lights are on. (See
“Fog light switch” (P.2-47).)
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 depending on how the front
passenger seat is being used.
For front passenger air bag status light
operation, see “INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System (front seats)” (P.1-42).
High beam assist indicator
light (if so equipped)
The indicator light illuminates when the
headlights come on while the headlight switch is in the AUTO position with the
high beam selected. This indicates that the
high beam assist system is operational.
(See
“High beam assist” (P.2-43).)
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the low
beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
comes on steady or blinks while the engine
is running, it may indicate a potential
emission control malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
come on steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, 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 (11.4
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 ex-
ists.
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/main-
tenance test. (See
“Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test (US only)” (P.9-
22).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady —
An emission control system malfunc-
tion has been detected. Check the fuel-
filler cap if the Loose Fuel Cap warning
appears in the vehicle information 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 thelight does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retai-
ler. 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 con-
trol system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:

The autolight system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark
and turn off the headlights when it is light.
The headlights will turn on automatically at
twilight or in rainy weather (when the
windshield wiper is operated continu-
ously).
If the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position and one of the doors is opened
and this condition is continued, the head-
lights remain 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 seconds.
For automatic headlights off delay setting,
see the Infiniti InTouch Owner’s Manual.

Headlight beam select
*1To select the low beam, put the lever
in the neutral position as shown.
*2To select the high beam, push the

High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 22 MPH (35 km/h) and
above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle appears in front of your vehicle
when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low beam
automatically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
.The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a substitute
for safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, ensure
safe driving practices and switch the
high beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
. The high beam or low beam may not
switch automatically under the following
conditions. Switch the high beam and
low beam manually.
—During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
—When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the
vicinity of the vehicle.
—When the headlights of the oncom-
ing vehicle or the leading vehicle are
turned off, when the color of the light
is affected due to foreign materials
on the lights, or when the light beam
is out of position.
—When there is a sudden, continuouschange in brightness.
—When driving on a road that passesover rolling hills, or a road that has
level differences.
—When driving on a road with many
curves.
—When a sign or mirror-like surface isreflecting intense light towards the
front of the vehicle.

ing intense light.
—When a headlight on your vehicle is
damaged or dirty.
—When the vehicle is leaning at anangle due to a punctured tire, being
towed, etc. .
The timing of switching the low beam
and high beam may change under the
following situations.
—The brightness of the headlights of
the oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle.
—The movement and direction of theoncoming vehicle and the leading
vehicle.
—When only one light on the oncom-
ing vehicle or the leading vehicle is
