stick to check the oil level.(See “ENGINE OIL” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.)
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light on could cause serious dam-
age to the engine almost immediately. Such
damage is not covered by warranty. Turn off the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so.
Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) system warning light
(orange; if so equipped)
This light comes on if there is a malfunction in
the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the
engine, resume driving and set the ICC system
again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the sys-
tem is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is
still driveable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked at an INFINITI retailer.

position, this light comes on for about 2 sec-
onds and then turns off.
This light warns of a malfunction with the
electrical steering lock system or the Intelligent

If the light comes on while the engine is
stopped, it may be impossible to free the
steering lock or to start the engine. If the light
comes on while the engine is running, you can
drive the vehicle. However in these cases, con-
tact an INFINITI retailer for repair as soon as
possible.
Lane departure warning light
(orange; if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the light will come on in orange, turn
green, and then turn off. This indicates that the
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Depar-
ture Prevention (LDP) systems are operational.
While the LDW and/or LDP system is on, the
light will blink in orange and a warning chime
will sound if the vehicle is traveling close to
either the left or the right of a traveling lane
with detectable lane markers. If the light comes on in orange and remains on,
it may indicate that the LDW and LDP systems
are not functioning properly. Although the ve-
hicle is still driveable, have the systems
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM/LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion.

functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is pushed ON, this light
illuminates for about 1 second and turns off.

tem.
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart the
engine, then resume driving.

tem is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is
still driveable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked at an INFINITI retailer.
Rear Active Steer warning
light (if so equipped)
If the light comes on while the engine is run-
ning, it may indicate that there is a malfunction
with the Rear Active Steer portion of the steer-
ing system. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
For further information about the Rear Active
Steer system, see “REAR ACTIVE STEER SYS-
TEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.

tion switch is pushed to the ON position, and
will remain illuminated until the driver’s seat
belt is fastened. At the same time, the chime
will sound for about 6 seconds unless the
driver’s seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front passen-
ger will illuminate if the seat belt is not fastened
when the front passenger’s seat is occupied. For 5 seconds after the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the system does not activate the
warning light for the front passenger.

ing and your vehicle must be taken to your
nearest INFINITI retailer.

fail-safe mode is operating, for example the
vehicle dynamic control system may not be
functioning properly. Have the system checked
by an INFINITI retailer. If an abnormality occurs
in the system, the vehicle dynamic control
system function will be canceled but the vehicle
