The needle indicators in the speedometer,
tachometer, engine coolant temperature
gauge and fuel gauge may move slightly
after the ignition switch is pushed to the
OFF position. This is not a malfunction.
CAUTION
. For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dampened
with water. Never use a rough cloth,
alcohol, benzine, thinner or any kind of

the meter lens. Spraying liquid may
cause the system to malfunction.
METERS AND GAUGES

SIC3256
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going up
or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after
the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “E”(Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
dot matrix liquid crystal display when the
fuel level in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably
before the gauge reaches
“E”. There will be
a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the
fuel gauge needle reaches “E”.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
. For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-20).
METER/RING ILLUMINATION AND
NEEDLE SWEEP
The ring illumination surrounding meters
and gauges illuminates when the driver’s
door is closed after getting into the vehicle
with the Intelligent Key carried in.
When the engine is started, the indicator needles will sweep in the speedometer and
tachometer and the ring illumination will
be brightened gradually. This function can
be turned off. (See
“Trip computer”(P.2-
29).)

WARNING LIGHTS
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning
light (AWD models)
Thewarning light comes on when the
ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns off
soon after the engine is started.
If the 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 “All-
Wheel Drive (AWD)” (P.5-76).)
CAUTION
.If the warning light comes on while
driving there may be a malfunction in
the 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

brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.

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:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake
