CAUTIONIf the gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature near the hot (H) of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
temperature. If gauge is over the normal
range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible. If the engine is overheated, contin-
ued operation of the vehicle may seriously
damage the engine. See ªIf your vehicle
overheatsº in the ª6. In case of emergencyº
section for immediate action required.
FUEL GAUGE The gauge indicates the approximate fuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or
down hill.
The gauge needle is designed to move to
the E (Empty) position when the ignition
key is turned to the OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters the E (Empty) position. The low fuel warning light comes on when
the fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon
as it is convenient, preferably before the
gauge reaches the E (Empty) position.
There will be a small reserve of fuel in the
tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches
the E (Empty) position.
The indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the passenger's side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION O If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
may come on. Refuel as soon as pos-
sible. After a few driving trips, the
lamp should turn off. If the lamp
remains on after a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
dealer.

tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the fuel
gauge reaches the E (Empty) position.
There will be a small reserve of fuel re-
maining in the fuel tank when the fuel
gauge needle reaches the E (Empty) posi-
tion.
Low tire pressure warning
light Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that moni-
tors the tire pressure of all tires except
the spare.
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 turned ON, this
light illuminates for about 1 second and
turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn the light
OFF.
For additional information, see ªTire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS)º in the ª5.
Starting and drivingº section and in the
ª6. In case of emergencyº section.
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly,
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute when the
ignition switch is turned ON. The light will
remain on after the 1 minute. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
For additional information, see ªTire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS)º in the ª5.

Cruise set switch indicator
lightThe light comes on while the vehicle
speed is controlled by the cruise control
system. If the light blinks while the en-
gine is running, it may indicate the cruise
control system is not functioning prop-
erly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI dealer.
Front passenger air bag
status lightThe front passenger air bag status light,
located on the center display, will be lit
and the passenger front air bag will be off
depending on how the front passenger
seat is being used.
For front passenger air bag status light
operation, see ªINFINITI advanced air bag
systemº in the ª1. Safety Ð Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint systemº
section of this manual.
High beam indicator light
(Blue)This light comes on when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the
low beam is selected. Malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) If the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
comes on steady or blinks while the en-
gine is running, it may indicate a poten-
tial emission control malfunction.
The malfunction indicator lamp 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 three gallons
(14 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the lamp
should turn off if no other potential emis-
sion control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator lamp comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 sec-
onds when the engine is not running, it
indicates that the vehicle is not ready for
an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. See ªReadiness for
inspection/maintenance (I/M) testº in the
ª9. Technical and consumer informationº
section of this manual.
Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on in one of two ways:
O Malfunction indicator lamp on steady
Ð An emission control system mal-
function has been detected. Check the
fuel-filler cap. If the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The lamp should turn off after a
few driving trips. If the lamp
does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the re-
tailer.
O Malfunction indicator lamp blinking Ð
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission con-
trol system. To reduce or avoid emis-
sion control system damage:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or decel-
eration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades.
d) If possible, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator lamp may
stop blinking and come on steady.

Have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the re-
tailer.
CAUTIONContinued vehicle operation without having
the emission control system checked and re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor drive-
ability, reduced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control system.
Slip indicator lightThe light will blink when the vehicle dy-
namic control (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.
This light also comes on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position.
The light will turn off if the VDC is opera-
tional.
Snow mode indicator light
(if so equipped)When selecting SNOW mode while the en-
gine is running, this light will illuminate. See ªSNOW MODE SWITCHº in the ª2. In-
struments and controlsº section.
Turn signal/hazard indicator
lights The light flashes when the turn signal
switch lever or hazard switch is turned
on.
Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) off indicator light The light comes on when the vehicle dy-
namic control (VDC) off switch is pushed
to OFF. This indicates that the VDC system
is not operating.
This light also comes on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position.
The light will turn off if the VDC system is
operational.
When the VDC off indicator light and slip
indicator light come on with the VDC sys-
tem turned on, this light alerts the driver
to the fact that the VDC system fail-safe
mode is operating and the system may
not be functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked by an INFINITI dealer. If a
malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled but the
vehicle is still driveable. For additional in- formation, see ªVehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) systemº in the ª5. Starting and
drivingº section of this manual.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
