Automatic Transmission (AT)
position indicator light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the indicator shows the automatic
selector position.
In the manual shift mode, when the transmis-
sion 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” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section for further details.
Blind Spot Intervention (BSI)
ON indicator light (green; if
so equipped)
The light comes on in green when the Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI) system is turned on. The
light turns off when the system is turned off.
NOTE:
This light is common with the blind spot warning
light (orange). (See “Blind Spot Warning
(BSW)/Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) system
warning light” earlier in this section).
For more details, see “BLIND SPOT WARNING
(BSW) SYSTEM/BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION™ (BSI)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.
ECO drive indicator
light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the light will come on in orange, turn
green, and then turn off.
When the drive mode select switch is turned to
the ECO mode, the ECO drive indicator light will
illuminate or change its color depending on the
accelerator pedal operation to help assist the
driver to drive economically. For more details,
see “ECO MODE” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.
Front fog light indicator
light
The front fog light indicator light illuminates
when the front fog lights are on. (See “FOG
LIGHT SWITCH” later in this section.)
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

Assist (IBA) off switch is pushed to OFF. This
indicates that the Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
system is not operating.
When the IBA off indicator light illuminates
while the system is turned on (without the
warning chime sound), this light indicates that
the system control is temporarily unavailable.
When the IBA off indicator light illuminates with
the warning chime sound while the IBA system
is turned on, this light indicates that the system
may not be functioning properly. Park the ve-
hicle in a safe place. Check to see if the laser
sensor is clean. Turn the engine off, then restart
the engine.

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.
Security indicator light
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” later in this section.
Low beam indicator light

The light comes on when the vehicle dynamic
control off switch is pushed to OFF. This indi-
cates that the vehicle dynamic control system
and traction control system are not operating.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chime
A chime will sound if the driver side door is
opened while the ignition switch is pushed to the
ACC position. Make sure the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position, and take the Intelli-
gent Key with you when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
A chime will sound when the driver side door is
opened with the light switch in the
or
position and the ignition switch in the

the vehicle is driven at more than 4 MPH (7
km/h) with the parking brake applied. Stop the
vehicle and release the parking brake.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-
ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it
will make a high pitched scraping sound when
the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound
will first occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake pad,
the sound will always be heard even if the brake
pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the warning
sound is heard.

1on. The indicator light2will come

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
● When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble.
Always have your xenon headlights replaced
at an INFINITI retailer.
● Xenon headlights provide considerably more
light than conventional headlights. If they
are not correctly aimed, they might
temporarily blind an oncoming driver or the
driver ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your vehicle to
an INFINITI retailer and have the headlights
adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize. ●
The life of xenon headlights will be shortened
by frequent on-off operation. It is generally
desirable not to turn off the headlights for
short intervals (for example, when the ve-
hicle stops at a traffic signal). Even when the
daytime running lights are active (Canada
only), the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights is
not reduced.
● If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burn-
ing out, the brightness will drastically de-
crease, the light will start blinking, or the
color of the light will become reddish. If one
or more of the above signs appear, contact an
INFINITI retailer.

turn the switch to the OFF position.
The headlights must be on for the fog lights to
operate.

lights and the other lights while the ignition
switch is in the ON position or the engine is
running. Push the switch on to warn other drivers when
you must stop or park under emergency condi-
tions. All turn signal lights will flash.
WARNING
●
If stopping for an emergency, be sure to
move the vehicle well off the road.
● Do not use the hazard warning flashers while
moving on the highway unless unusual cir-
cumstances force you to drive so slowly that
your vehicle might become a hazard to other
traffic.
● Turn signals do not work when the hazard
warning flasher lights are on.
