WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
CHECKING LIGHTS
With all doors closed, apply the parking
brake, fasten the seat belts and place the
ignition switch in the ON position without
starting the engine. The following lights (if
so equipped) will come on:
,or,,,
The following lights (if so equipped) will
come on briefly and then go off:
,or,,,,
If any light does not come on or operates in a
way other than described, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunc-
tion. It is recommended you have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS
(red)
See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20).
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake fluid
level. If the light comes on while the engine is
running with the parking brake not applied,
stop the vehicle and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid
is necessary, add fluid and have the
system checked. It is recommended you
have this service performed by an
INFINITI retailer. (See “Brake fluid”
(P.8-9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
warning system checked. It is recom-
mended you have this service performed
by an INFINITI retailer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the
brake warning light and the Anti-lock Brak-
ing System (ABS) warning light illuminate, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked,
and if necessary repaired. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
(See “Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warn-
ing light” (P.2-15).)
WARNING
.Your brake system may not be work-
ing properly if the warning light is on.
Driving could be dangerous. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle
towed because driving it could be
dangerous.
.Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stopping
distance and braking will require
greater pedal effort as well as pedal
travel.
.If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging system
is not functioning properly. Turn the engine
off and check the alternator belt. If the belt is
loose, broken, missing or if the light remains
Instruments and controls2-13
systems and/or pretensioner seat belt
will not operate in an accident. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others, have
your vehicle checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS
(yellow)
See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20).
orAnti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock
assistance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-129).)
Forward Emergency Braking
(FEB) system warning light (if so
equipped)
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position. It turns off after
the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the FEB with
pedestrian detection system is set to OFF on
the lower display.
If the light illuminates when the FEB with
pedestrian detection system is ON, it may
indicate that the system is unavailable. See
“Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with
pedestrian detection system” (P.5-103) for
more details.
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
OFF depending on how the front passenger
seat is being used.
For front passenger air bag status light
operation, see “INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System (front seats)” (P.1-44).
Low fuel warning light
This light illuminates when the fuel in the
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge
reaches the 0 (empty) position.
There will be a small reserve of fuel remain-
ing in the tank when the fuel gauge reaches
the 0 position.
Low tire pressure warning light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors
the tire pressure of all tires except the spare
tire (if so equipped).
The low tire pressure warning light warns of
low tire pressure and flat tire (if so equipped)
or indicates that the TPMS is not functioning
properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about 1
second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
also appears in the vehicle information dis-
play.
When the low tire pressure warning light
Instruments and controls2-15
(P.2-46).)
.[A/C]
Touch to turn the air conditioner on/off.
(See “Automatic operation (AUTO)”
(P.4-36).)
.[Auto Recirc] (if so equipped)
Touch to turn the auto-recirculation
mode on/off. (See “Advanced Climate
Control System” (P.4-39).)
.[
]or[] (if so equipped)
Touch to turn the seat heater on/off.
(See “Heated seats” (P.2-45).)
DUAL mode setting
Touch [DUAL] to turn on/off the DUAL
mode. When the DUAL mode is set, the
temperature for the driver seat and the front
passenger seat can be adjusted indepen-
dently. When the DUAL mode is on, the
indicator light is on and “DUAL” appears.
Advanced Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the automatic air circulation control
with the exhaust gas/outside odor detection
sensor and with ion control.
WAE0219X
[Auto Recirc]:
Touch to turn on the automatic air
recirculation mode.
Plasmacluster®icon:
Indicates the Plasmacluster®ion emis-
sion status.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Advanced Climate Control system
comes with an exhaust gas detection/out-
side odor sensor. When the automatic air
circulation control is activated, the sensor
detects odors outside the vehicle such as
pulp or chemicals, and exhaust gas such as
gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases
are detected, the display and the systemautomatically change from the fresh air
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the automatic air circulation control
mode is on, for the first 5 minutes, the air
recirculation mode is selected to prevent
dust, dirt and pollen from entering the
vehicle and to clean the air inside of the
vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between
the air recirculation mode and the fresh air
mode.
NOTE:
The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
.The air flow control is not in the wind-
shield defrosting mode (the indicator
light on
is turned off).
.The outside temperature is approxi-
mately 32 °F (0 °C) or above.
Ion control:
The Advanced Climate Control system unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter
®ions into the air blown from the
ventilators to reduce odor absorbed into
the interior trim and to suppress airborne
bacteria. The high-density Plasmacluster
®
ions also have a proven skin moisture
preserving effect.
