When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light will come on and then turn
off.
When the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector is
turned to the ECO mode, the ECO drive
indicator light will illuminate, blink or remain
off depending on the accelerator pedal
operation to help assist the driver to drive
economically. For more details, see “ECO
mode” (P.5-22).
Exterior light indicator
This indicator illuminates when the headlight
switch is turned to the AUTO,orposition and the exterior lights (such as front
parking lights, headlights, etc.) are on. The
indicator turns off when these lights are
turned off.
Front fog light indicator light

when the front fog lights are on. (See “Fog
light switch” (P.2-44).)
Front passenger air bag status
light
The front passenger air bag status light
() located on the instrument panel will be
lit and the passenger front air bag will be

High beam assist indicator
light (if so equipped)
The indicator light illuminates when the
headlights come on while the headlight
switch is in the AUTO position with the high
beam selected. This indicates that the high
beam assist system is operational. (See
“High beam assist” (P.2-39).)
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam
is selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running,
it may indicate a potential emission control
malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
come on steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose
or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure the fuel-filler cap is
installed and closed tightly, and that the
vehicle has at least 3 US gallons (11.4 liters)
of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance test.
(See “Readiness for Inspection/Mainte-
nance (I/M) test (US only)” (P.10-21).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on
in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady —

equipped on the vehicle are operational.
If the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System is
malfunctioning, this light will remain on
while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
If the light still remains on and/or the
engine will not start, seek service for the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System assoon as possible. Please bring all registered
keys that you have. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
