The emission limit values may be exceeded
and the engine may be running in emergency
mode.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without hav-
ing the engine control system checked and
repaired as necessary could lead to poor
driveability, 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 re-
tailer 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 emer-
gency braking (FEB) system (if equipped)" in
the "5. Starting and driving" section.
Electric parking brake
warning light
The red indicator illuminates when the elec-
tric parking brake is engaged.
If the red indicator light for the electric park-
ing brake flashes or is lit and/or the yellow
warning light for the electric parking brake is
lit, observe the additional messages dis-
played in the vehicle information display.
For further parking brake operation informa-
tion see "Parking brake" in the "3. Pre-driving
checks and adjustments" section.
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 fas-
tens their seat belt. A chime will sound once
the vehicle is in motion, see "Seat belt re-
minder chime" later in this section. See "Seat
belts" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system" section for
precautions on seat belt usage.
The seat belt warning light may also illumi-
nate if there are objects on the front passen-
ger 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).
Instruments and controls2-11

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 cool-
ant, observing the warning notes (see "If your
vehicle overheats" in the "6. In case of emer-
gency" 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 cool-
ant temperature is below 250°F (120°C). 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 re-
serve 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 Ve-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system is oper-
ating, 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 sec-
onds after the VDC system stops limiting
wheel spin.
Cruise control or Intelligent Cruise Control is
deactivated.
For additional information see " Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) OFF indicator light " in
the "2. Instruments and controls" section and
"Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system" in
the "5. Starting and driving" section.
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 in-
strument lights remain on.
Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) OFF indicator light
The light comes on when the Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) has been disabled. This
indicates that the VDC system is not operat-
ing.
Disabling the VDC system causes the For-
ward Emergency Braking system to become
unavailable. See " Forward emergency brak-
ing (FEB) system (if equipped)" in the "5.
Starting and driving" section for more details.
This light also comes on briefly when the
ignition 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 system checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for these ser-
vices.
