Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) system MAIN switch
indicator light (green; if so
equipped)
The light comes on when the Intelligent Cruise
Control (ICC) system MAIN switch is pushed.
The light goes out when the MAIN switch is
pushed again. While the MAIN switch indicator
light comes on, the ICC system is operational.
Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) ON indicator light

Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
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 exists.
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/maintenance test. (See ªREADINESS
FOR INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TESTº in
the ª9. Technical and consumer informationº
section.)
Operation :
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways: c
Malfunction indicator light on steady Ð An
emission control system malfunction 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 retailer. You
do not need to have your vehicle towed to
the retailer.
c Malfunction indicator light blinking Ð An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH (72 km/h).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades.
d) 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.

CAUTION
Continued 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 light
This light will blink when the Vehicle Dynamic
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.
Small light indicator
light
The light comes on when the front park, side
marker, tail and license plate lights are on.
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 Dynamic
Control (VDC) off switch is pushed to OFF. This
indicates that the VDC system is not operating.
When the VDC off indicator light and slip indi-
cator light come on with the VDC system turned
on, this light alerts the driver to the fact that the
VDC system's fail-safe mode is operating, for
example the VDC system may not be function-
ing properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer. If a malfunction occurs in the
system, the VDC system function will be can-
celed but the vehicle is still driveable. For
additional information, see ªVEHICLE DYNAMIC
CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEMº in the ª5. Starting and
drivingº section of this manual.

FUEL-FILLER CAP
The fuel-filler cap is a ratcheting type. Turn the
cap counterclockwise to remove. To tighten,
turn the cap clockwise until ratcheting clicks
are heard.
WARNING
cGasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. You
could be burned or seriously injured if it is
misused or mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open flames or
sparks near the vehicle when refueling. c
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after
the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automati-
cally. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possi-
bly a fire.
c Use only an original equipment type fuel-
filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in
safety valve needed for proper operation of
the fuel system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It could
also cause the malfunction indicator light to
come on.
c Never pour fuel into the throttle body to at-
tempt to start your vehicle.
c Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can cause
an explosion of flammable liquid, vapor or
gas in any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when filling
portable fuel containers:
± Always place the container on the ground when filling.
± Do not use electronic devices when filling.
± Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are filling it. ± Use only approved portable fuel contain-
ers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
cIf fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it
away with water to avoid paint damage.
c Insert the cap straight into the fuel-filler
tube, then tighten until the fuel-filler cap
clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
malfunction
indicator light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or in-
stall the cap and continue to drive the ve-
hicle. 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 retailer.
For additional information, see ªMalfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)º in the ª2. Instruments
and controlsº section.
Put the fuel-filler cap on the cap holder
sA
while refueling.
