WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-8Instruments and controls
Power steering warninglight
WARNING
∙ If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the
steering will not work. Steering will be
harder to operate.
∙ When the power steering warning light illuminates with the engine running,
there will be no power assist for the
steering. You will still have control of the
vehicle but the steering will be harder to
operate. Have the power steering system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the power steering warning light
illuminates. After starting the engine, the
power steering warning light turns off. This
indicates that the electric power steering sys-
tem is operational.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate the power steering system is not func-
tioning properly and may need servicing.
Have the hydraulic pump electric power steering system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, there will be
no power assist for the steering but you will
still have control of the vehicle. At this time,
greater steering effort is required to operate
the steering wheel, especially in sharp turns
and at low speeds.
For additional information, refer to “Power
steering” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.
Seat belt warning light and
chime
The light and chime remind you to fasten your
seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the
ignition switch is placed in the ON or START
position and remains illuminated until the
driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the same
time, the chime sounds for about 6 seconds
unless the driver’s seat belt is securely fas-
tened.
The seat belt warning light may also illumi-
nate if the front passenger’s seat belt is not
fastened when the front passenger’s seat is
occupied. For 7 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the sys-
tem does not activate the warning light for
the front passenger.
For additional information, refer to “Seat
belts” in the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section of this
manual.
Supplemental air bag
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
or START position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates for about 7 seconds
and then turns off. This means the system is
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag, and
pretensioner seat belt systems need servic-
ing:
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 sec-
onds.
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
∙ The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for these services.

within a trip temporarily dismisses the mes-
sage for that stop without turning the sys-
tem off. Alerts can be provided for other

the vehicle information display” in this sec-
tion.

Check Back Seat For All Articles
When the system is enabled, this message
appears when the vehicle comes to a com-
plete stop, the vehicle is transitioned from the
D (Drive) position to P (Park) position, and the driver exits the vehicle. This message alerts
the driver, after a period of time, to check for
items in the rear seat after the audible alert
has been provided.
NOTE:
This system is disabled until a driver enables
it using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “How to use
the vehicle information display” in this sec-
tion.
For additional information, refer to “Rear
Door Alert” in this section.
Distance Control Assist (DCA) indicators (if

information, refer to “Distance Control Assist
(DCA)” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual.

and audible alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, liftgate or hood when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs.
