WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

1-14Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
.All seat belt assemblies, including
retractors and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after any colli-
sion. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
INFINITI recommends that all seat
belt assemblies in use during a colli-
sion be replaced unless the collision
was minor and the belts show no
damage and continue to operate
properly. Seat belt assemblies not in
use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either da-
mage or improper operation is noted.
. All child restraints and attaching
hardware should be inspected after
any collision. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer’s inspection in-
structions and replacement
recommendations. The child re-
straints should be replaced if they
are damaged.
PREGNANT WOMEN
INFINITI recommends that pregnant women
use seat belts. The seat belt should be worn
snug, and always position the lap belt as low
as possible around the hips, not the waist,
and place the shoulder belt over your
shoulder and across your chest. Never run
the lap/shoulder belt over your abdominal area. Contact your doctor for specific re-
commendations.
INJURED PERSONS
INFINITI recommends that injured persons
use seat belts, depending on the injury.
Check with your doctor for specific recom-
mendations.
PRE-CRASH SEAT BELTS WITH
COMFORT FUNCTION (front
seats) (if so equipped)
The pre-crash seat belt tightens the seat belt
with a motor to help restrain front seat
occupants. This helps reduce the risk of
injury in a collision.
The motor retracts the seat belt under the
following emergency conditions:
.
During emergency braking.
. During sudden steering maneuvers.
. Activation of the Forward Emergency
Braking (FEB) system. (See “Forward
Emergency Braking (FEB)” (P.5-105).)
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when:
. The seat belt is not fastened.
. The vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (15
km/h) during emergency braking.
. The vehicle speed is under 19 MPH (30
km/h) during sudden steering maneu- vers.
The pre-crash seat belt will not be active
when the brake pedal is not depressed
except when sudden steering maneuvers
occur or the FEB system activates.
The motor also retracts the seat belt when
the seat belt is fastened or unfastened.
When the seat belt is fastened, the motor
tightens the seat belt for a snug fit. When
the seat belt is unfastened, the motor
retracts the seat belt. If the seat belt is not
fully retracted, the motor retracts the seat
belt when the door is opened.
Always wear your seat belt correctly and sit
upright and well back.
If the motor cannot retract the seat belt
when the seat belt is fastened or unfas-
tened, it may indicate the pre-crash seat belt
system has a malfunction. It is recommended
you have an INFINITI retailer check and
repair the system.
When the seat belt is retracted repeatedly in
a short period of time, the motor may not be
able to retract the seat belt. After a few
minutes, the motor normally reactivates and
retracts the seat belt. If the seat belt still
cannot be retracted by the motor, the pre-
crash seat belt system has a malfunction.
Have the system checked and repaired. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.

LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock
assistance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-130).)
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
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 vehicle and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluidis necessary, add fluid and have the
system checked. It is recommended you
have this service performed by an
INFINITI retailer. (See “Brake fluid”
(P.8-14).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is recom-
mended you have this service performed
by an INFINITI retailer. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the
brake warning light and the Anti-lock Brak-
ing System (ABS) warning light illuminate, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked,
and if necessary repaired. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
(See “Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warn-
ing light” (P.2-10).)
WARNING
.
Your brake system may not be work-
ing properly 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 because driving it could be
dangerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your 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 you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging system
is not functioning properly. Turn the engine
off and check the alternator belt. If the belt is
loose, broken, missing or if the light remains
on, have your vehicle serviced immediately. It
is recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator
belt is loose, broken or missing.
Forward Emergency Braking
(FEB) system warning light (if so
equipped)
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position. It turns off after
the engine is started.
