WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is
on, it could mean that the front air bag, side
air bag, curtain air bag and/or preten-
sioner systems will not operate in an acci-
dent. To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. It is recommended that you

formation display” (P. 2-19).
orAnti-lock Braking
System (ABS)
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the ABS warning light illuminates
and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.
If the ABS light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the anti-lock braking
system is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that 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 as-
sistance. For additional information, see
“Brake system” (P. 5-139).
orElectronic parking
brake warning light
The electronic parking brake system warning
light functions for the electronic parking
brake system. If the warning light illuminates,
it may indicate the electronic parking brake
system is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
For additional information, see “Electronic
parking brake” (P. 5-24).
Forward Emergency
Braking (FEB) with
Pedestrian Detection
system 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 FEB with Pe-
destrian Detection system is set to OFF in the
lower display. If the light illuminates when the FEB with
Pedestrian Detection system is on, it may
indicate that the system is unavailable. For
additional information, see “Forward Emer-
gency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system” (P. 5-109) and “Predictive For-
ward Collision Warning (PFCW)” (P. 5-120).
Front passenger air bag
status light
The front passenger air bag status light will
be lit and the passenger front air bag will be
off depending on how the front passenger
seat is being used.
For additional information, see “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light” (P. 1-52).
Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the
tire pressure of all tires.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of
low tire pressure 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 sec-
ond and turns off.
Instruments and controls2-13

• If the driver’s side temperature buttons arepressed, the driver’s side, passenger’s side,
and rear (if so equipped) temperature set-
tings will update simultaneously.
• If the passenger’s side or rear (if so equipped) temperature buttons are
pressed, Sync mode will exit, the indicator
light will go off, and the temperature will
update based on the button pressed. Driv-
er’s side temperature will remain the same
until manually changed.
Steering wheel heater (if so
equipped)
The heated steering wheel system is de-
signed to operate only when the surface tem-
perature of the steering wheel is below 68°F
(20°C).
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and on
to maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The indicator light will remain on as
long as the system is on.
Touch the “
Steering Heater” key on the
CLIMATE screen on the lower display to turn
the steering wheel heater on or off. When the
steering wheel heater is on, the indicator light
is on.
NOTE:
• Once activated, your heated steering
wheel will automatically turn on and off to
maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The heated steering wheel will turn
off automatically after 30 minutes of use.
• When the temperature of the steering
wheel is above 122°F (50°C) and the
heated steering wheel is turned on, the
system will not heat the steering wheel.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Automatic Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Automatic Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using
the automatic air recirculation control with
the exhaust gas/outside odor detecting sen-
sor with ion control.O1“Auto Recirc” key
Touch to turn on the automatic recirculation
mode.
O2Plasmacluster® icon
Indicates the Plasmacluster® ion emission
status.
Ion control:
The Automatic Climate Control System unit
generates highly concentrated Plasmaclus-
ter® ions into the air blown from the ventila-
tors 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.
