FUEL GAUGE GUID-A6CE9D87-1196-4EDB-BE07-B0479D286BC3
The gauge indicates the approximate fuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going up
or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after
the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “ E ” (Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
dot matrix liquid crystal display when the
fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably before the gauge
reaches “ E ” . There will be a small reserve
of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge
needle reaches “ E ” .
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the passenger ’ s side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION . If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected by an INFINITI retailer.
. For additional information, see “ Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) ” (P.2-18). GUID-263D42A7-AD19-460F-8531-86F714066C53

[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]2-16 Instruments and controlsWARNING. If the light does not illuminate with the
ignition switch pushed ON, have the
vehicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible.
. If the light illuminates 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.
Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal 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
the light still illuminates while driving
after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire
may be flat. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible. . When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after the 1
minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION . The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS
may not operate correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Master warning light GUID-BFD238A1-B056-42EA-B9A0-FCCF2B17501F
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the master warning light illumi- nates if any of the following are displayed
on the dot matrix liquid crystal display:
. No key warning
. Low fuel warning
. Low washer fluid warning
. Parking brake release warning
. Door/trunk open warning
. Loose fuel cap warning
. Check tire pressure warning
See “ Dot matrix liquid crystal display ” (P.2-
20).
Preview Function warning light
(orange; if so equipped) GUID-B4E486C7-1748-4EBD-A37A-79C9F389E7E0
The light comes on if there is a malfunction
in the Brake Assist (with Preview Function)
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
system is malfunctioning. Although the
vehicle is still driveable under normal
conditions, have the vehicle checked at
an INFINITI retailer.

Automatic Transmission (AT)
position indicator light (if so
equipped) GUID-12A09BA6-228C-4AB5-9EA2-02DEE0F0D92F
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
“ ON ” position, the indicator shows the
automatic selector position.
In the manual shift mode, when the
transmission does not shift to the selected
gear due to a transmission protection
mode, the AT position indicator light will
blink and a chime will sound.
See “ Automatic transmission ” (P.5-14) for
further details.
Front fog light indicator light GUID-E775FCDC-933F-4374-BAC3-DEE01A256BE0
The front fog light indicator light illumi-
nates when the front fog lights are on. (See
“ Fog light switch ” (P.2-39).)
Front passenger air bag status
light GUID-6F13EEF6-2D06-42B1-92CB-0A7AAE6D4FDD
The front passenger air bag status light
(
) 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 “ INFINITI Advanced Air Bag System (front seats) ” (P.1-46) of this
manual.
High beam indicator light GUID-CF1B5A86-829A-457D-AB7B-526C908A9C34
This light comes on when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the low
beam is selected.
Exterior light indicator GUID-719E4302-7BDF-4301-A5E8-B6A39286535A
This indicator illuminates when the head-
light switch is turned to the AUTO (if so
equipped),
or position and the
front parking lights, instrument panel
lights, rear combination lights, license
plate lights or headlights are on. The
indicator turns off when these lights are
turned off.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) GUID-31750F29-30E3-4506-AEB2-E92A82111EA9
If 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 (US only) ” (P.9-
27).)
Operation: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
The 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 fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the
light does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retai-
ler. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the retailer.

Black plate (97,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]. Malfunction indicator light blinking —
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission con-
trol system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
2) Avoid hard acceleration or decelera-
tion.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI retailer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the retailer.
CAUTIONContinued vehicle operation without having
the emission control system checked and
repaired as necessary could lead to poor
driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
possible damage to the emission control
system. Security indicator light GUID-99C24DC6-544D-45AC-90DB-96CA87927F70
The light blinks when the ignition switch is
in the ACC, OFF or LOCK position. This
function indicates the security system
equipped on the vehicle is operational.
If the security system is malfunctioning,
this light will remain on while the ignition
switch is in the ON position. For additional
information, see “ Security systems ” (P.2-
28).
