GUID-6EEC4327-E350-4F3A-9470-29AE4D172CADWhen the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then

tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning

AUDIBLE REMINDERS

thus alerting the driver that the vehicle is
nearing its traction limits. The road surface
may be slippery.
When the vehicle dynamic control warning
light illuminates when the vehicle dynamic
control system is turned on, this light
alerts the driver to the fact that the vehicle
dynamic control system’s 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 a malfunction occurs in
the system, the vehicle dynamic control
system function will be canceled but the
vehicle is still driveable. For additional
information, see“Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” (P.5-54) of this manual.

In the manual shift mode, when the
transmission does not shift to the selected
gear due to the transmission protection
mode, the AT position indicator light will
blink and a chime will sound. (See
“Automatic transmission” (P.5-13).)

manual.
High beam indicator lightGUID-9E559E28-47EC-4A74-B9B9-B97EFBAD0089This light comes on when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the low
beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
GUID-CCF62CD3-CAC8-43D4-8902-CA55F37F5E80If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control malfunction. The malfunction indicator light 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 US gallons (14 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 ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on 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/main-
tenance test. (See “Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.9-23).)
Operation:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady —
An emission control system malfunc-
tion has been detected. Check the fuel-
filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP

XENON HEADLIGHTSGUID-B40150F6-DD79-4915-B6F1-208ABCF3DCF8
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
. When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer
and have the headlights adjusted cor-
rectly.
When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and brightness
will soon stabilize.
.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation. It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon head-
lights is not reduced.
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will dras-
tically decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact an INFINITI
retailer.
