orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.

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.

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.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service should
be done only by an experienced techni-
cian with the proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.However, it may contribute in a
small part to global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your vehicle’s air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to the
air conditioner system. (See “Air conditioning
system refrigerant and oil recommenda-
tions” (P.10-7).)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to serviceyour environmentally friendly air conditioner
system.

starting” (P.6-10). If the engine does not
start by jump starting, the battery may have
to be replaced. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.CAUTION

the battery terminal. Doing so will
bypass the variable voltage control
system and the vehicle battery may
not charge completely.
.Use electrical accessories with the
engine running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.
The variable voltage control system mea-
sures the amount of electrical discharge
from the battery and controls voltage gen-
erated by the generator.
