•Tampering with the front air bag system
may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the
steering wheel and the instrument panel
assembly by placing material over the
steering wheel pad and above the instru-
ment panel or by installing additional
trim material around the air bag system.
• Removing or modifying the front pas-
senger seat may affect the function of
the air bag system and result in serious
personal injury.
• Modifying or tampering with the front
passenger seat may result in serious per-
sonal injury. For example, do not change
the front seats by placing material on the
seat cushion or by installing additional
trim material, such as seat covers, on the
seat that are not specifically designed to
assure proper air bag operation. Addi-
tionally, do not stow any objects under
the front passenger seat or the seat
cushion and seatback. Such objects may
interfere with the proper operation of
the occupant classification sensor
(weight sensor). •
No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring of the
seat belt system. This may affect the
front air bag system. Tampering with the
seat belt system may result in serious
personal injury.
• It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for work on and around
the front air bags. It is also recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for in-
stallation of electrical equipment. The
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
wiring harnesses* should not be modified
or disconnected. Unauthorized electrical
test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the air bag system.
• A cracked windshield should be replaced
immediately by a qualified repair facility.
A cracked windshield could affect the
function of the supplemental air bag
system.
*The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low and orange for easy identification.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the front air bag
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner's Manual.

•When using a wheel without the TPMS
such as the spare tire, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. Have your tires replaced
and/or TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for these
services.
• Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 mph (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate a potential emission control
malfunction.
The MIL may also come on steady if the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds when
the engine is not running, it indicates that the
vehicle is not ready for an emission control
system inspection/maintenance test. For ad-
ditional information, see “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test”
(P. 10-32).
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the master warning light illuminates if
any of the following (if so equipped) are dis-
played on the vehicle information display:
• I-Key system warnings
• Low washer fluid warning
• Door/ liftgate open warning (when vehicle is stopped)
• Loose fuel cap warning
• Low tire pressure warning
• Flat tire warning
• Transmission system warning
• Headlight warning
• Driver Attention Support system warning
• Shipping mode warning
• All Wheel Drive (AWD) system warning
• Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) warning
• Driving Aids malfunction warning

Power steering warning
light
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 sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Models with Direct Adaptive Steering®:
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the power steering warning light illumi-
nates. After starting the engine, the power
steering warning light stays on for a few
seconds and turns off. This indicates that
Direct Adaptive Steering is operational. Drive
the vehicle after the power steering warning
light turns off.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while driving, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle. If the power
steering warning light turns off, you can drive again. If the power steering warning light
continues to illuminate, have the Direct
Adaptive Steering checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. For additional information, see
“Power Steering”. (P. 5-135).
Models with electric power steering:
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the power steering warning light illumi-
nates. After starting the engine, the power
steering warning light turns off. This indicates
the electric power steering is operational.
If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may indi-
cate the electric power steering is not func-
tioning properly and may need servicing. It is
recommended that you have the electric
power steering checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, the power
assist to the steering will cease operation but
you will still have control of the vehicle. At this
time, greater steering efforts are required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds. For additional
information, see “Power Steering” (P. 5-135).
Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB) warning light
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 RAB system is
turned off in the vehicle information display.
If the light illuminates when the RAB system
is on, it may indicate that the system is un-
available. For additional information, see
“Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)” (P. 5-103).
Slip indicator light
This indicator light will blink when the VDC
system is operating, thus alerting the driver to
the fact that the road surface is slippery and
the vehicle is nearing its traction limits.
You may feel or hear the system working; this
is normal.
The light will blink for a few seconds after the
VDC system stops limiting wheel spin.
The
indicator light also comes on when
you place the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion. The light will turn off after a period of
time if the system is operational. If the light
does not come on have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
