(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.5-116).)
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
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the charge warning light illuminates
and then turns off.
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.

refer to the “9. Maintenance and schedules”
section.
Tire:
This indicator appears when the user set

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. (See “Changing
wheels and tires” (P.8-35).) Many fac-
tors including tire inflation, alignment,
driving habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be
replaced. Setting the tire replacement
indicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tires will last that
long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform
regular tire checks. Failure to perform
regular tire checks, including tire pres-
sure checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to a collision, which could result
in serious personal injury or death.
Other:
This indicator appears when the user set
distance comes for checking or replacing
maintenance items other than the engine oil,
oil filter and tires. Other maintenance items
can include such things as air filter or tire
rotation. You can set or reset the distance
for checking or replacing the items.
