WARNING LIGHTS
Also seeVehicle information displaylater in
this section.
Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the ABS warning light illuminates to indicate
that the ABS is operational. The light then turns
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started.
If the ABS light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the anti-lock braking
system is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
If the ABS warning light comes on while driving,
it may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Observe the additional display mes-
sages (if any) in the vehicle information display.
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 assis-
tance (seeBrake systemin the5. Starting and
drivingsection).
BRAKE warning light (red)
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly 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 re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed be-
cause driving it could be dangerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the ignition
switch is not in the ON position and/or when
the brake fluid level is low may increase the
stopping distance 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. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light remains illuminated and turns
off when the engine is started. If the light illumi-
nates at any other time, it may indicate that the
brake system is not functioning properly. If the
BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle
immediately and contact an INFINITI retailer.
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Low tire pressure warning
light (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the
tire pressure of all its tires.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Low tire pressure warming light illuminates
to indicate that the system is operational. The
light then tuns off within a few seconds after
the engine is started.
Low tire pressure warning
:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the warning light will illuminate. A tire
pressure warning message also appears in the
vehicle information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pressure
of all 4 tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening, seeTire and
loading information labelin the9. Maintenance
and Schedulessection. The low tire pressure warn-
ing light does not automatically turn off when the
tire pressure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to
Instruments and controls2-9
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 seeForward emergency
braking (FEB) system (if equipped)in the5.
Starting and drivingStarting and drivingsec-
tion.
Electric parking brake
warning light
The red indicator illuminates when the electric
parking brake is engaged.
If the red indicator light for the electric parking
brake flashes or is lit and/or the yellow warning
light for the electric parking brake is lit, observe
the additional messages displayed in the ve-
hicle information display.
For further parking brake operation information
seeParking brakein the3. Pre-driving checks
and adjustmentssection.
Seat belt (driver and front
passenger) warning light
The seat belt warning light reminds you to
fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates if
the engine is started, all doors are closed and
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat belt
is unfastened. It will remain illuminated until
the driver and/or front passenger fastens their
seat belt. A chime will sound once the vehicle is
in motion, seeSeat belt reminder chimelater
in this section. SeeSeat beltsin the1. Safety
— seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
systemsection for precautions on seat belt
usage.
Instruments and controls2-11
When the VDC OFF indicator light and VDC
warning light (seeVehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning lightlater 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
system checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for these services.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled, but the ve-
hicle is still driveable. For additional informa-
tion, seeVehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
systemin the5. Starting and drivingsection.
WARNING
VDC should remain on unless freeing a vehicle
from mud or snow.
While the VDC system is operating, you might
feel a slight vibration or hear the system work-
ing when starting the vehicle or accelerating,
but this is normal.
Front fog light indicator light (if
equipped)
The light comes on when the front fog lights are
switched on (seeFog light switch (If so
equipped)later in this section).
High beam assist indicator light
(if equipped)
The indicator light illuminates when the head-
lights come on while the headlight switch is in
the AUTO position with the high beam selected.
This indicates that the high beam assist system
is operational. (See 2-62.)
High beam indicator light
This blue light comes on when the headlight
high beams are on and goes out when the low
beams are selected.
The high beam indicator light also comes on
when the passing signal is activated.

headlight position is selected, seeHeadlight
and turn signal switcheslater in this section
for further details.
/Front passenger air
bag status light

located on the center console above the shift
lever will illuminate when the front passenger
air bag is turned OFF. When the front passenger
air bag is turned on, the front passenger air bag
status light ON (
) will illuminate.
For more details, seeFront passenger air bag
and status lightin the1. Safety — seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint systemsec-
tion.
