service indicator INFINITI G35 2006 Owners Manual

Low brake fluid warning light:
The light warns of a low brake fluid level.
If the light comes on while the engine is
running with the parking brake not ap-
plied, stop the vehicle and perform the
following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake
fluid as necessary. See ªBrake fluidº
in the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourselfº section.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have
the warning system checked by an
INFINITI dealer.
Anti-lock Brake 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
brake system warning light illuminate, it
may indicate the anti-lock brake system is
not functioning properly. Have the brake
system checked by an INFINITI dealer. See
ªAnti-lock brake warning lightº earlier in
this section. WARNING O Your brake system may not be working
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 repairs. Oth-
erwise, have your vehicle towed because
driving it could be dangerous.
O Pressing the brake pedal with the engine
stopped and/or a low brake fluid level
may increase your stopping distance
and braking will require greater pedal ef-
fort as well as pedal travel.
O If the brake fluid level is below the MINI-
MUM or MIN mark on the brake fluid res-
ervoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked by an INFINITI
dealer.
Charge warning light If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate that 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, see an INFINITI
dealer immediately.
CAUTION Do not continue driving if the generator belt
is loose, broken or missing.
Door open warning light This light comes on when any of the
doors are not closed securely while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
Engine oil pressure warning
light This light warns of low engine oil pres-
sure. If the light flickers or comes on dur-
ing normal driving, pull off the road in a
safe area, stop the engine immediately
and call an INFINITI dealer or other autho-
rized 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
ªEngine oilº in the ª8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourselfº section.

Every new INFINITI comes with a 4 year,
unlimited mileage Roadside Assistance
plan. In the event of a roadside
emergency, Roadside Assistance Service
is available to you. Please refer to your
Warranty Booklet (U.S.) or Warranty &
Roadside assistance information booklet
(Canada) for details. Both the Warranty
Booklet and Roadside Assistance Calling
Card in your Owner's Literature Portfolio
provide the Toll-Free Number to call for
assistance. Roadside Assistance is
provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
for 4 years from the date sold to give
emergency roadside help, in the event of
mechanical or nonmechanical trouble(s)
such as flat tires, out-of-gas, dead battery,
lost keys, mechanical breakdown,
accident, etc. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) This vehicle is equipped with the tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, or flashing continuously one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn
you of it by the low tire pressure warning
light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). For more details, refer to
ªWarning/indicator lights and audible re-
mindersº in the ª2. Instruments and con-
trolsº section and ªTire pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS)º in the ª5. Starting
and drivingº section.
WARNING O If the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious per-
sonal injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
to turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O
Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire
sealant into the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE If you have a flat tire, follow the instruc-
tions below.ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FLAT TIRE

Self-adjusting brakes Your vehicle is equipped with self-
adjusting brakes.
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied.
WARNINGSee an INFINITI dealer for a brake system
check if the brake pedal height does not re-
turn to normal.
Brake pad wear indicators The disc brake pads on your vehicle have
audible wear indicators. When a brake pad
requires replacement, it will make a high
pitched scraping or screeching sound when
the vehicle is in motion whether or not the
brake pedal is depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the wear in-
dicator sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions,
occasional brake squeak, squeal or other
noise may be heard. Occasional brake
noise during light to moderate stops is
normal and does not affect the function or
performance of the brake system. Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed. For additional information,
see the appropriate maintenance log
shown in the INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide.
High performance sports brake pads oc-
casionally make squeaks, squeals or
other braking noises because of their very
high friction coefficient.
These occasional brake noises are
normal, but if they continue, see an
INFINITI dealer.
BRAKE BOOSTER Check the brake booster function as fol-
lows:
1. With the engine off, press and release
the brake pedal several times. When
brake pedal movement (distance of
travel) remains the same from one
pedal application to the next, continue
on to the next step.
2. While depressing the brake pedal,
start the engine. The pedal height
should drop a little. 3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop
the engine. Keeping the pedal de-
pressed for about 30 seconds, the
pedal height should not change.
4. Run the engine for one minute without
depressing the brake pedal, then turn
it off. Depress the brake pedal several
times. The pedal travel distance will
decrease gradually with each depres-
sion as the vacuum is released from
the booster.
If the brakes do not operate properly, see
an INFINITI dealer.

rear tires and the direction of the wheel
rotation is fixed for each tire.
A pin is on the front brake rotor to pre-
vent the rear wheels from being in-
stalled in place of the front wheels. The
spare tire can be installed in place of
the front and rear wheels. When install-
ing the spare tire in the front wheel, the
hole in the spare tire wheel must be
aligned with the pin on the brake rotor.
WARNINGO Retighten the wheel nuts when the
vehicle has been driven for 600
miles (1,000 km) (also in cases of a
flat tire, etc.).
O For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to ªImportant
Tire Safety Informationº (US) or
ªTire Safety Informationº (Canada)
in the Warranty Information
Booklet. 1. Wear indicator
2. Location mark
Tire wear and damage
WARNINGO Tires should be periodically in-
spected for wear, cracking,
bulging or objects caught in the
tread. If excessive wear, cracks,
bulging or deep cuts are found, the
tire(s) should be replaced. O The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When the
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.
O Tires degrade with age and use.
Have tires, including the spare,
over 6 years old checked by a
qualified technician because some
tire damage may not be obvious.
Replace the tires as necessary to
prevent tire failure and possible
personal injury.
O Improper service of the spare tire
may result in serious personal in-
jury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tire, contact an INFINITI
dealer.
O For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to ªImportant
Tire Safety Informationº (US) or
ªTire Safety Informationº (Canada)
in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires When replacing a tire, use the same size,
speed rating and load carrying capacity
as originally equipped. See ªSpecifica- MDI0004C
