warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the ABS warning light illuminates and
then turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the anti-lock braking sys-
tem is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock func-
tion is turned off. The brake system then operates
normally, but without anti-lock assistance. For
additional information, refer to “Brake system” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake and
the foot brake systems. Parking brake indicator
When the ignition switch is placed 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 ve-
hicle and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. For additional information, re-
fer to “Brake fluid” in the “Do-it-yourself”

to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driv-
ing it could be dangerous. ●
Pressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance 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.

2-28Instruments and controls
Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor located in the top side
1of the instrument panel. The autolight
sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-
ered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is
dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switch placed in the ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.

3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the
headlight high beams on and off.
High beam assist (if so equipped)
The high beam assist system will operate when
the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) and above. If an oncoming
vehicle or leading vehicle appears in front of your vehicle when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low beam auto-
matically.
WARNING
●
The high beam assist system is a con-
venience but it is not a substitute for
safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, ensure
safe driving practices and switch the
high beams and low beam manually
when necessary.
● The high beam or low beam may not
switch automatically under the follow-
ing conditions. Switch the high beam
and low beam manually.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.) .
– When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicinity
of the vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncom- ing vehicle or the leading vehicle are
turned off, when the color of the light
is affected due to foreign materials
on the lights, or when the light beam
is out of position.
