minimum or MIN mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked at an INFINITI
retailer.

running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator

retailer immediately.

not designed to indicate a low oil level.
Use the dipstick to check the oil level. (See
“Engine oil” (P.8-10).)
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Such damage is not covered
by warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as
it is safe to do so.

restart the engine, resume driving and set
the ICC system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
