FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINTS
Y51D-V-E01-A1626E2D-B3B2-4F9A-93C8-09BB1DD74A81The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback re-
ceives from the occupant in a rear-end
collision. The movement of the head
restraint helps support the occupant’s
head by reducing its backward movement
and helping absorb some of the forces that
may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in
which it is said that whiplash-type injury
occurs most.

WARNING LIGHTSY51D-V-E01-E4342973-71E9-450C-94D9-9EA3FA5505E2
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning
light (if so equipped)
Y51D-V-E01-753690F1-01C5-46AF-A68E-329F2E1AAB37Thewarning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns off
soon after the engine is started.
If the Intelligent AWD system malfunctions,
or the diameter of the front and the rear
wheels are different, the warning light will
either remain illuminated or blink. (See
“Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD)” (P.5-
93).)
CAUTION
. If the warning light comes on while
driving there may be a malfunction in
the Intelligent AWD system. Reduce the
vehicle speed and have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon
as possible.
. If the AWD warning light blinks on when
you are driving:
—blinks rapidly (about twice a sec-
ond):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and
idle the engine. The driving mode will change to 2WD to prevent the AWD
system from malfunctioning. If the
warning light turns off, you can drive
again.
—blinks slowly (about once every 2
seconds):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and
idle the engine. Check that all tire
sizes are the same, tire pressure is
correct and tires are not worn.
. If the warning light is still on after the
above operations, have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon
as possible.
orAnti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
Y51D-V-E01-BEE15A76-E254-45AA-8D27-5170CF592A69When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer. If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system
then operates normally, but without anti-
lock assistance. (See
“Brake system”(P.5-
98).)
Automatic transmission check
warning light
Y51D-V-E01-079F889E-A850-497A-9531-8C17CCCB810EWhen the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the light comes on for 2
seconds. If the light comes on at any other
time, it may indicate the transmission is
not functioning properly. Have your INFINITI
retailer check and repair the transmission.
orBrake warning lightY51D-V-E01-27E62D81-74AA-402A-ADDC-A48DD1FF9DA9This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
GUID-CA441E56-2FD0-4540-A74C-DB510E9F7AE0When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
GUID-CA441E56-2FD0-4540-A74C-DB510E9F7AE0When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake
fluid level. If the light comes on while the
engine is running with the parking brake
not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:

2-12Instruments and controls
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brakefluid is necessary, add fluid and have
the system checked by your INFINITI
retailer. (See “Brake fluid” (P.8-19).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
GUID-CA441E56-2FD0-4540-A74C-DB510E9F7AE0When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake sys-
tem checked, and if necessary repaired, by
an INFINITI retailer promptly. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-11).)
WARNING
. Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on.
Driving could be dangerous. If you judge
it to be safe, drive carefully to the
nearest service station for repairs.
Otherwise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dangerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked at an INFINITI
retailer.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/
Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) sys-
tem warning light (orange; if so
equipped)
Y51D-V-E01-9068CB1D-5021-4E81-9D4E-BD508B33B490When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the indicator light will first
illuminate in orange and turn green before
turning off. This indicates that the Blind
Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot Inter-
vention (BSI) systems are operational.
If the light comes on in orange and remains
on, it may indicate that the BSW and BSI
systems are not functioning properly.
Although the vehicle is still driveable, have
the systems checked by an INFINITI retailer.
See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system/ Blind Spot Intervention
TM(BSI) system”
(P.5-33).
Charge warning lightY51D-V-E01-DEE104B8-D716-40F8-9978-636495B1465AIf the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, see an INFINITI
retailer immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt
is loose, broken or missing.
Distance Control Assist (DCA)
system warning light (orange; if so
equipped)
Y51D-V-E01-65405F0A-16BD-46D0-B9C8-DCE3E18D6626This light comes on if there is a malfunc-
tion in the Distance Control Assist (DCA)
system.
If the warning light illuminates, park the
vehicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off,
restart the engine, resume driving and turn
on the DCA system again.

Ion controlY51D-V-E01-CABAC637-9E58-4AF7-B7FF-677924E32869This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster®ion into the air blown from
the ventilators and reduces odor absorbed
into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ion auto-
matically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ion in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “
”.

OPERATING TIPSY51D-V-E01-02573748-D5AC-4F11-950A-3F982048440DWhen the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
This is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air will flow nor-
mally from the foot outlets.

mately 2 seconds after the lane change
signal is turned off.)
. When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h).
. When the BSI system activates an
audible warning or brake control.
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are
satisfied, the warning and assist functions
will resume.
