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:

Unless checked and repaired, the Supple-
mental Restraint Systems and/or the pre-
tensioner seat belt may not function
properly.
For additional information, see“Supple-
mental restraint system” (P.1-38).
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
Y51D-V-E01-C0AA7A1A-7629-49A7-89B8-6292243BC6FAThe light will blink when the 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 vehicle dynamic control warning
light illuminates when the vehicle dynamic
control system is turned on, this light alerts the driver to the fact that the vehicle
dynamic control system’s fail-safe mode is
operating, for example the vehicle dynamic
control, active trace control (if so
equipped), Rise-up & Build-up 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 vehicle dynamic control sys-
tem function will be canceled but the
vehicle is still driveable. For additional
information, see
“Variable voltage control
system” (P.8-22).

Y51D-V-E01-D4A08820-0AEE-43A9-BED0-34FC0794EE2DWhen the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the Adaptive Front lighting
System (AFS) off indicator light will illumi-
nate. The light will turn off in about 1
second if the AFS is operational.
This light also illuminates when the AFS is
turned off using the AFS switch.
If the AFS off indicator light blinks, it may
indicate the AFS is not functioning prop- erly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
See
“Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)”
(P.2-37).

automatic shift position.
In the manual shift mode, when the
transmission does not shift to the selected
gear due to a transmission protection
mode, the AT position indicator light will
blink and a chime will sound.
See “Automatic transmission” (P.5-14) for
further details.

applied. Stop the vehicle and release the
parking brake.
Brake pad wear warningY51D-V-E01-5BF946D6-6498-47D2-8825-4B103B685194The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first occur
only when the brake pedal is depressed.
After more wear of the brake pad, the
sound will always be heard even if the
brake pedal is not depressed. Have the
brakes checked as soon as possible if the
warning sound is heard.

NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker programming and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-

from the HomeLink
®surface, keeping
the HomeLink®indicator light*1in
view.

make the following steps easier. Use
a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the
next steps.
4. At the receiver located on the garage door opener motor in the garage, locate
the “learn” or“smart” button (the
name and color of the button may vary
by manufacturer but it is usually
located near where the hanging anten-
na wire is attached to the unit). If there
is difficulty locating the button, refer-
ence the garage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn”or

NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, you have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Y51D-V-E01-7466E10D-6916-4AD5-990C-56C135EA9047Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out”(or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
®to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink

place “Programming HomeLink®”Step 2

vided by the system.
9. When training is finished, the system will tell you an adequate number of
phrases have been recorded.
10. The system will ask you to say your name. Follow the instructions to regis-
ter your name. 11. The system will announce that voice
adaptation has been completed and
the system is ready.
The voice adaptation mode will stop if:

Y51D-V-E01-9C9FE392-3403-4A2B-A32D-118563DC7354INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-
free operation of the Phone, Navigation,
Information and Audio systems in one of
two modes, Standard Mode or Alternate
Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, commands that are
available are always shown on the display
and announced by the system. You can
complete your desired operation by simply
following the prompts given by the system.
(See “INFINITI Voice Recognition standard
mode” (P.4-110) for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “INFINITI
Voice Recognition alternate command
mode” (P.4-121) for details.) When this
mode is active, an expanded list of
commands can be spoken after pushing
the TALK
switch, and the voice
command menu prompts are turned off.
Review the expanded command list, which
is available when this mode is active. Note
that in this mode the recognition success
rate may be affected as the number of
available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased.
To switch one mode to another, see each
