•The coolant is too hot and the engine is no
longer being cooled sufficiently.
Observe the additional display messages in the
vehicle information display.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
Leave the vehicle and keep a safe distance from
the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
Check the coolant level and top up the coolant,
observing the warning notes (see If your ve-
hicle overheats in the6. In case of emergency
section).
If you have to top up the coolant frequently,
have the engine cooling system checked.
Make sure that the air supply to the engine
radiator is not blocked, e. g. by frozen slush.
Do not start the engine again until the coolant
temperature is below 250
oF (120oC). The
engine may otherwise be damaged.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is conve-
nient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches 0 (Empty).
There will be a small reserve of fuel in the
tank when the fuel gauge reaches 0 (Empty).
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The VDC warning light blinks when the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system is operating,
thus alerting the driver to the fact that the road
surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing its
traction limits.
You may feel or hear the system working, this is
normal.
The light will continue to blink for a few seconds
after the VDC system stops limiting wheel spin.
Cruise control or Intelligent Cruise Control is

HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCHES
Instruments and controls2-63

Active light function
The active light function is a system that moves
the headlights according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This helps you to recognize pedestrians, cy-
clists and animals. It is active when the lights
are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the low-beam headlights are
switched on. It is active if you are driving at
speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h) and switch on
the turn signal or turn the steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
short time, but is automatically switched off
after no longer than three minutes.
Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to reduce
the amount of light that shines on the opposite
lane of the freeway, and oncoming traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at least
3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at a speed
above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds below
50 MPH (80 km/h) following activation.

CAUTION
•Do not place heavy objects on the glass roof
or surrounding area.
•Do not hang from the sunshade or hang any
objects from it. It may cause damage or de-
formation to the sunshade.
•Close the sunshade when you leave the ve-
hicle for extended periods of time to prevent
the inside of the vehicle from reaching high
temperatures.
SUNSHADE OPERATION
The sunshade operates only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, keep your hands, fin-
gers and head away from the sunshade arm,
the arm rail and sunshade inlet port.
NOTE
The following notes cover situations where
strong sun shining on the roof of the vehicle
causes the area around the sunshade motor to
reach high temperatures:
•If the temperature of the sunshade motor
reaches a value between 185oF (85oC) and
212oF (100oC), “restricted mode” is enabled,
and the sunshade will only be allowed to
CLOSE.
•If the temperature of the sunshade motor
exceeds 212oF (100oC), the sunshade will
not operate.

WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse features as
required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
•During the programming procedure your ga-
rage door or security gate will open and
close (if the transmitter is within range).
Make sure that people or objects are clear of
the garage door, gate, etc. that you are pro-
gramming.
•Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off
while programming the HomeLink® Univer-
sal Transceiver.NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If you
have difficulty programing the integrated ga-
rage door opener, it is recommended you contact
your INFINITI retailer.

culty programming your HomeLink® buttons,
