nates if any of the following warnings
appear in the vehicle information display:

See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20).
If the driver assist system warnings appear
in the vehicle information display, the
master warning light also illuminates. See
“Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system/
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system”
(P.5-30), “Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention
TM/Back-up Collision Interven-
tion systems” (P.5-37),“Distance Control
Assist (DCA) system” (P.5-79),“Forward
emergency braking system” (P.5-89) and
“Predictive forward collision warning sys-
tem” (P.5-94).
Power steering warning light
(if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the power steering warning light
illuminates. After starting the engine, the
power steering warning light turns off. This
indicates that Direct Adaptive Steering is
operational.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may
indicate Direct Adaptive Steering is not
functioning properly and may need servi-
cing. Have Direct Adaptive Steering
checked by an INFINITI retailer. (See “Direct
Adaptive Steering type” (P.5-104).)
Seat belt warning light and
chime
The light and chime remind you to fasten
seat belts. The light illuminates whenever
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, and will remain illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the
same time, the chime will sound for about
6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front
passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is
not fastened when the front passenger’s
seat is occupied.
See
“Seat belts” (P.1-12) for precautions
on seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warning
light
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light will illuminate. The supplemental air
bag warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the supplemental front air bag
and supplemental side air bag, curtain
side-impact air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, supplemental
side air bag, supplemental curtain side-
impact air bag and pretensioner seat belt
needs servicing and your vehicle must be
taken to your nearest INFINITI retailer.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 sec-

onds.

mental Restraint Systems and/or the pre-
tensioner seat belt may not function
properly.
For additional information, see “Supple-
mental restraint system” (P.1-42).
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is
on, it could mean that the supplemental
front air bag, supplemental side air bag,
curtain side-impact air bag systems and/or
pretensioner seat belt will not operate in an
accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have your vehicle checked by a
retailer as soon as possible.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The light will blink when the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system or the traction control system is operating, thus
alerting the driver that the vehicle is
nearing its traction limits. The road surface
may be slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates
when the VDC system is turned on, this
light alerts the driver to the fact that the
VDC system’s fail-safe mode is operating,
for example the VDC, active trace control
function, Brake Force Distribution or hill
start assist system may not be functioning
properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer. If a malfunction occurs in
the system, the VDC system function will
be canceled but the vehicle is still drive-
able. For additional information, see
“Ve-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-
108).

When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the light will come on and
then turn off.
When the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector is
turned to the ECO mode, the ECO drive
indicator light will illuminate, blink or
remain off depending on the accelerator
pedal operation to help assist the driver to drive economically. For more details, see
“ECO mode”
(P.5-22).
Exterior light indicator

2-18Instruments and controls
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.2-38).)
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 comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion 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:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
2) Avoid hard acceleration or decelera- tion.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) 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.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having
the emission control system checked and
repaired as necessary could lead to poor
driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
possible damage to the emission control
system.
