2017 INFINITI QX30 warning light

pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label located in the driver’s door open-
ing, seeTire and loading information label in
the 9. Maintenance and Schedules section.
The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom-
mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The low tire pressure warning message appears
each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure warn-
ing light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see Vehicle infor-
mation display later in this section and Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the
5. Starting and driving section.
TPMS malfunction
:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. The light will remain
on after 1 minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. The low tire pressure warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunc-
tion.
For additional information, see
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) in the5. Starting
and driving section.
WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
•If the light does not illuminate with the ig-
nition switch pushed ON, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•If the light illuminates while driving, avoid
sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt brak-
ing, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage the
tires and increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury or death. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the tire placard, located
in the driver’s door opening, to turn the low
tire pressure warning light off. If the light
still illuminates while driving after adjust-
ing the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a replacement
tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced without a TPMS sensor tire pres-
sure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have
your vehicle’s tires replaced and/or TPMS
system reset as soon as possible. It is rec-
ommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
these services.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
•The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular
tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire
pressure regularly.
2-10Instruments and controls

•If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS may
not operate correctly.
•Be sure to install the specified size of tires
to all four wheels correctly.
Malfunction Indicator light (MIL)
(yellow)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, the yellow Malfunction Indicator light
illuminates. This means that the system is
operational.
If the yellow engine malfunction indicator light
lights up while the engine is running, there may
be a fault, for example:
•In the engine management
•In the fuel injection system
•In the exhaust system
•In the ignition system (for vehicles with
gasoline engines)
•In the fuel system
•In other monitored items, for example the
automatic transmission.The emission limit values may be exceeded and
the engine may be running in emergency mode.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having
the engine control system checked and re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor drive-
ability, reduced fuel economy and possible
damage to the engine control system.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system
may lead to non-compliance of local and na-
tional emission laws and regulations.
Have the vehicle checked as soon as possible. It
is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
Distance warning light (if
equipped)
This light illuminates if the distance to the
vehicle in front is too small for the speed
selected.
If a warning tone also sounds, you are ap-
proaching a vehicle or stationary obstacle in
your line of travel at too high a speed. For
additional information see Forward emergency
braking (FEB) system (if equipped) in the
5. Starting and driving section.
Electric parking brake
warning light

Instruments and controls2-11

The seat belt warning light may also illuminate
if there are objects on the front passenger seat.
Remove the objects and stow them in a safe
place.
If the seat belt warning light flashes, together
with an intermittent warning tone, this means
that the driver or passenger has not fastened
their seat belt, and the speed of the vehicle is
exceeding 15 MPH (25 km/h).
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) air bag warning light
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on,
it could mean that the front air bag, driver’s
knee air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not operate
in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag warning light illuminates to indicate that
the system is operational. The light then tuns
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started. If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact
air bag, roof-mounted curtain air bag and pre-
tensioner systems need servicing:
•The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on for longer than a few seconds once
the engine is running.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for these services. Unless checked and re-
paired, the supplemental restraint system (air
bag system) and/or the pretensioner systems
may not function properly. For additional infor-
mation, refer to Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system section.
Coolant warning light
WARNING
If the coolant warning light is lit, the engine
may not be being cooled sufficiently and may
be damaged.
Never drive with an overheated engine. Driving
when your engine is overheated can cause some fluids which may have leaked into the
engine compartment to catch fire.
In addition, steam from an overheated engine
can cause serious burns, which can occur just
by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injury
If the red coolant warning light lights up while the
engine is running and the coolant temperature
gauge is at the start of the scale, the temperature
sensor for the coolant temperature gauge is faulty.
The coolant temperature is no longer being moni-
tored. There is a risk of engine damage if the
coolant temperature is too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine. Do not continue driving under any
circumstances.
Consult an INFINITI retailer.
If the red coolant warning light comes on while
the engine is running, with or without an ac-
companying warning tone, it could mean that:
•The coolant level is too low.
•If the coolant level is correct, the airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the
electric engine radiator fan may be malfunc-
tioning.
2-12Instruments and controls

•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
deactivated.

able. See Forward emergency braking (FEB)
system (if equipped) in the5. Starting and
driving section for more details.
This light also comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position. The
light will turn off after approximately 1 second if
the VDC system is operational.
When the VDC OFF indicator light and VDC
warning light (see Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light later in this section) come
on with the VDC system turned on, it alerts the
driver to the fact that the system’s fail-safe
mode is operating. This means that the system
may not be functioning properly. Have the
