NOTE
The needle indicators may move slightly after
the ignition switch is put in the “OFF” position.
This is not a malfunction.
CAUTION
•For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dampened
with water. Never use a rough cloth, alco-
hol, thinner or any kind of solvent or paper
towel with a chemical cleaning agent. They
will scratch or cause discoloration to the
lens.
•Do not spray any liquid such as water on the
meter lens. Spraying liquid may cause the
system to malfunction.

CAUTION
If the gauge indicates coolant temperature
near the hot (H) end of the normal range, re-
duce vehicle speed to decrease temperature. If
the gauge is over the normal range, stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible. If the en-
gine is overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the engine. For
additional information, refer toIf your vehicle
overheatsin the6. In case of emergency
section for immediate action required.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, accelerating, or going up and down
hills due to movement of fuel in the tank.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
The low fuel warning
appears on the
vehicle information display when the fuel level
in the tank is getting low.Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers 0
(Empty).
The arrow,
, indicates that the fuel-filler
lid is located on the left side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
•If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light (MIL) may come on. Re-
fuel 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. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

function Indicator light (MIL) (yellow)in the

With all doors closed, apply the parking brake,
fasten the seat belts and place the ignition
switch in the ON position without starting the
engine. The following lights (if so equipped) will
come on,
,,,,
,,,,. These lights
should go out within a few seconds after start-ing the engine. If any light fails to come on or
operates in a way other than described, it may
indicate a burned out bulb and/or a system
malfunction. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-8Instruments and controls
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.

•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 (seeIf your ve-
hicle overheatsin 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
convenient, 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.

namic Control (VDC) OFF indicator lightin the

hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) systemin the5.

tion.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Turn signal/hazard indicator
lights
The appropriate light flashes when the turn
signal switch is activated. Both lights flash
when the hazard switch is turned on.
Low beam indicator light
This light comes on when the switch is turned to
the position:The headlights will come on
and front side, tail, number plate and instru-
ment lights remain on.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
OFF indicator light
The light comes on when the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) has been disabled. This indicates
that the VDC system is not operating.
Disabling the VDC system causes the Forward
Emergency Braking system to become unavail-
able. SeeForward emergency braking (FEB)
system (if equipped)in the5. Starting and
drivingsection 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.
