TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).Do not rev the
engine in the red zone.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce engine
speed. Operating the engine in the red zone
may cause serious engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature. The engine coolant temperature is
within the normal range
1when the gauge
needle points within the zone shown in the
illustration. The engine coolant temperature
varies with the outside air temperature and
driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates coolant temperature
near the hot (H) end of the normal range,
reduce vehicle speed to decrease tempera-
ture. If the gauge is over the normal range,
stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible.
If the engine is overheated, continued op-
eration of the vehicle may seriously dam-
age the engine. For additional information,
refer to "If your vehicle overheats" in the
"6. In case of emergency" section for imme-
diate action required.

starting the engine. The following lights (if so
equipped) will come on, ,
,
,,,,,,,
. These lights should go out within a few
seconds after starting 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
Also see "Vehicle information display" later in
this section.
Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the ABS warning light illuminates to in-
dicate 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 driv-
ing, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Observe the additional display mes-
sages (if any) in the vehicle information dis-
play. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then

Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag
warning light
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is
on, it could mean that the front air bag,
driver's knee air bag, side air bag, curtain
air bag and/or pretensioner systems will
not operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your ve-
hicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible.
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) air bag warning light illuminates to in-
dicate that the system is operational. The
light then tuns off within a few seconds after
the engine is started.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, front seat-mounted side-
impact air bag, roof-mounted curtain air bag
and pretensioner systems need servicing:
•The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on for longer than a few seconds
once the engine is running.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for these services. Unless checked and
repaired, the supplemental restraint system
(air bag system) and/or the pretensioner sys-
tems may not function properly. For addi-
tional information, refer to "Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS)" in the "1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system" section.
Coolant warning light
WARNING
If the coolant warning light is lit, the engine
may not be being cooled sufficiently and
may be damaged.
Never drive with an overheated engine.
Driving when your engine is overheated
can cause some fluids which may have
leaked into the engine compartment to
catch fire.
In addition, steam from an overheated en-
gine can cause serious burns, which can oc-
cur just by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injury
If the red coolant warning light lights up while
the engine is running and the coolant tem-
perature gauge is at the start of the scale, the temperature sensor for the coolant tempera-
ture gauge is faulty. The coolant temperature
is no longer being monitored. There is a risk of
engine damage if the coolant temperature is
too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying atten-
tion to road and traffic conditions, and switch
off the engine. Do not continue driving under
any circumstances.
Consult an INFINITI retailer.
If the red coolant warning light comes on
while the engine is running, with or without
an accompanying warning tone, it could
mean that:•The coolant level is too low.
•If the coolant level is correct, the airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the
electric engine radiator fan may be mal-
functioning.
•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 atten-
tion to road and traffic conditions, and switch
off the engine.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
2-12Instruments and controls

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.
