WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light illuminates and then
turns off.
The light will blink when the VDC system or
the traction control system is operating, thus
alerting the driver that the vehicle is nearing
its traction limits. The road surface may be
slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates
when the VDC system is turned on, this light
alerts the driver to the fact that the VDC
system’s fail-safe mode is operating, for
example the VDC, active trace control func-
tion, Brake Force Distribution or hill start
assist system may not be functioning prop-
erly. Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service. If a malfunction occurs in the
