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. Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed on the vehicle information display
between the speedometer and tachometer.
(See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20).)
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS
(red)
See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20).
Automatic Transmission (AT)
oil temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Transmission (AT) oil temperature is too
high. If the light illuminates while driving,
reduce the vehicle speed as soon as safely
possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the
AT oil temperature warning light is on
may damage the AT.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (4WD models)
This light indicates that the Automatic
Transmission (AT) parking function is not
engaged. If the transfer control is not
secured in any driving position while the AT
shift lever is in the P (Park) position, the
transmission will disengage and the wheels
will not lock. If the AT park warning light illuminates with
the shift lever in the P (Park) position, shift
the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift switch
to the AUTO, 4H or 4L position again with
the shift lever in the N (Neutral) position.
(See “INFINITI all-mode 4WD
®” (P.5-113).)
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 low, add fluid and have the system
checked. It is recommended you have this
service performed by an INFINITI retai-
ler. (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.

Low hydraulic pressure warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates when
the engine is running, or while driving with
the parking brake is released, check the
brake fluid level. If the brake fluid level is
sufficient, it may indicate low hydraulic
pressure in the brake booster. Have the
brake system checked. It is recommended
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
on, have your vehicle serviced immediately. It
is recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator
belt is loose, broken or missing.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If
the light flickers or comes on during normal
driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop
the engine immediately and call an INFINITI
retailer or other authorized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate a low oil level. Use the
dipstick to check the oil level. (See “Engine
oil” (P.8-6).)
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Such damage is not cov-
ered by warranty. Turn off the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so.

parking brake is applied. Stop the vehicle and
release the parking brake.
11. Low Fuel
This warning appears when the fuel level in
the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge
reaches the 0 (Empty) position.
There is a small reserve of fuel remaining in
the tank when the fuel gauge reaches the 0
(Empty) position.

This warning appears when the washer tank
fluid is at a low level. Add washer fluid as
necessary. (See “Window washer fluid” (P.8-
10).)
13. Loose Fuel Cap
This warning appears when the fuel-filler
cap is not tightened correctly after the
vehicle has been refueled. (See “Fuel-filler
cap” (P.3-27).)
14. Tire Pressure Low Add Air
This warning appears when the low tire
pressure warning light in the meter illumi-
nates and low tire pressure is detected. The
warning appears each time the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position as long
as the low tire pressure warning lightremains illuminated. If this warning appears,
stop the vehicle and adjust the tire pressure
to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Information
label. (See “Low tire pressure warning light”
(P.2-16) and “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).)
15. SNOW mode indicator
This indicator appears when SNOW mode is
selected by the SNOW mode switch. (See
“SNOW mode” (P.5-122).)
16. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift
indicator (4WD models)
This indicator shows the Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) driving mode (AUTO, 4HI or 4LO)
that is selected by the 4WD shift switch.
(See “INFINITI all-mode 4WD
®” (P.5-113).)
17. Door/liftgate open warning
(ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion)
This warning appears if any of the doors
and/or the liftgate are open or not closed
securely. The vehicle icon indicates which
door or the liftgate is open on the display.
18. Power will turn off to save the
battery
