at a low speed, when the Idling Stop System
is malfunctioning.
NOTE:
. When the Idling Stop System indicator
light blinks at a high speed (twice
approximately every 1 second), be sure
to close the engine hood. When the
engine hood is open, the engine will be in
the normal stopped state. In this case,
restart the engine using the ignition
switch.

.When the Idling Stop System indicator
light blinks at a low speed (once ap-
proximately every 1 second), it is re-
commended you have the system
checked, and if necessary repaired, by
an INFINITI retailer promptly.
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
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 (11.4 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 “Readiness for Inspection/Mainte-
nance (I/M) test (US only)” (P.10-24).) Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on
in one of two ways:
.
Malfunction indicator light on steady —
An emission control system malfunction
has been detected. Check the fuel-filler
cap if the Loose Fuel Cap warning
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play. 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 thelight does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service. You do
not need to have your vehicle towed to
the retailer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which
may damage the emission control sys-
tem.
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. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the retailer.
CAUTION
Continued 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
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 informa-
tion, see “Security systems” (P.2-32).
