WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-7

Seat belt warning light andchime
The light and chime remind you to fasten your
seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the
ignition switch is placed in the ON or START
position and remains illuminated until the driver’s
seat belt is fastened. At the same time, the chime
sounds for about 6 seconds unless the driver’s
seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also illuminate if
the front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened
when the front passenger’s seat is occupied . For
7 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the system does not activate the
warning light for the front passenger.
Refer to “Seat belts” in the “Safety—Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system” section
for precautions on seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warninglight
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning light
illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns
off. This means the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact air bag, roof-mounted curtain air bag and pretensioner
systems need servicing and your vehicle must be
taken to an INFINITI retailer:
● The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
● The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
● The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Unless checked and repaired, the supplemental
restraint system (air bag system) and/or the pre-
tensioner systems may not function properly. For
additional details see “Supplemental restraint
system” in the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system” section of this
manual.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag systems
and/or pretensioner systems will not op-
erate in an accident. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible.

cators, see “Vehicle information display” later in

the front fog lights are ON when the headlights
are ON. See “Fog light switch” later in this sec-
tion.
Front passenger air bag status light
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,

the “Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section of this manual.

switch is activated. Both lights flash when the hazard switch is turned
on.

again or restart the engine and the system will be
reactivated. See “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
The Vehicle Dynamic Control light also comes on
when the ignition switch is placed to the ON
position. The light will turn off after about 2 sec-
onds if the system is operational. If the light stays
on or comes on along with the
indicator
light while you are driving, have the Vehicle Dy-
namic Control system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.

operating, you might feel slight vibration or hear
the system working when starting the vehicle or
accelerating, but this is normal.
