WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-10Instruments and controls
Page 107 of 534

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 and 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.
SNOW mode indicator light
When selecting SNOW mode while the engine is
running, this light will illuminate. (See “SNOW
MODE” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
TOW mode indicator light
This light will illuminate when the TOW MODE is
selected while the engine is running. (See “TOW
MODE” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
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 off switch is pushed to OFF. This indi-
cates that the vehicle dynamic control system is
not operating. When the 4L position is selected
with the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift switch,
the VDC system is disabled and the VDC off
indicator light illuminates. For additional infor-
mation, see “VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
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
Intelligent Key with you when leaving the ve-
hicle.

A chime will sound when the driver side door is
opened with the light switch in theorposition and the ignition switch in the
ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
Turn the light switch off when you leave the
vehicle.
The chime will also sound for 2 seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position
with the fog lights on while the headlight switch
is in the AUTO position.
Parking brake reminder chime
The chime will sound if the vehicle is driven at
more than 4 MPH (7 km/h) with the parking

Your vehicle has two types of security systems,
as follows:
●Vehicle security system
● INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if someone opens the
doors, hood, or lift gate when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs.

WINDSHIELD DEICER (if so equipped)
The windshield deicer switch (rear window and
outside mirror defroster switch) operates when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The deicer is used to remove ice from the
windshield when a wiper is frozen to the wind-
shield.
When the switch
1is pushed, the indicator
light
2illuminates and the deicer operates for
approximately 15 minutes. The rear window
defroster will activate at the same time. After
the preset time has passed, the deicer will turn
off automatically. To turn off the deicer manu-
ally, push the deicer switch again, and the
indicator light turns off.
CAUTION
● When operating the deicer continuously, be
sure to start the engine. Otherwise, it may
cause the battery to discharge.
● When cleaning the inner side of the window,
be careful not to scratch or damage the elec-
trical conductors on the surface of the
window.
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. Al-
ways 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 acci-
dent. If headlights are not aimed correctly,
immediately take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer and have the headlights adjusted
correctly.
HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

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.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Lighting
1Turn the switch to theposition:

Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights to
be set so they turn on and off automatically.
To set the autolight system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position
1.
2. Push the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch
