Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the ABS warning light illuminates to indicate
that the ABS is operational. The light then turns
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started.
If the ABS light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the anti-lock braking
system is not functioning properly. Have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
If the ABS warning light comes on while driving,
it may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Observe the additional display mes-
sages (if any) in the vehicle information display.
Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance (seeBrake system in the5. Starting and
driving section).
BRAKE warning light (red)
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on. Driving
could be dangerous. If you judge it to be
safe, drive carefully to the nearest service
station for repairs. Otherwise, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the ignition
switch is not in the ON position and/or when
the brake fluid level is low may increase the
stopping distance and braking will require
greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
•If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light remains illuminated and
turns off when the engine is started. If the light
illuminates at any other time, it may indicate
that the brake system is not functioning prop-
erly. If the BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle immediately and contact an
INFINITI retailer.
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Low tire pressure warning
light (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the
tire pressure of all its tires.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Low tire pressure warming light illuminates
to indicate that the system is operational. The
light then tuns off within a few seconds after
the engine is started.
Low tire pressure warning
:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the warning light will illuminate. A tire
pressure warning message also appears in the
vehicle information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pres-
sure of all 4 tires to the recommended COLD tire
Instruments and controls2-9

The seat belt warning light may also illuminate
if there are objects on the front passenger seat.
Remove the objects and stow them in a safe
place.
If the seat belt warning light flashes, together
with an intermittent warning tone, this means
that the driver or passenger has not fastened
their seat belt, and the speed of the vehicle is
exceeding 15 MPH (25 km/h).
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) air bag warning light
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on,
it could mean that the front air bag, driver’s
knee air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not operate
in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air
bag warning light illuminates to indicate that
the system is operational. The light then tuns
off within a few seconds after the engine is
started. If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, front seat-mounted side-impact
air bag, roof-mounted curtain air bag and pre-
tensioner systems need servicing:
•The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on for longer than a few seconds once
the engine is running.
•The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
•The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for these services. Unless checked and re-
paired, the supplemental restraint system (air
bag system) and/or the pretensioner systems
may not function properly. For additional infor-
mation, refer to Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) in the1. Safety — seats, seat belts
and supplemental restraint system section.
Coolant warning light
WARNING
If the coolant warning light is lit, the engine
may not be being cooled sufficiently and may
be damaged.
Never drive with an overheated engine. Driving
when your engine is overheated can cause some fluids which may have leaked into the
engine compartment to catch fire.
In addition, steam from an overheated engine
can cause serious burns, which can occur just
by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injury
If the red coolant warning light lights up while the
engine is running and the coolant temperature
gauge is at the start of the scale, the temperature
sensor for the coolant temperature gauge is faulty.
The coolant temperature is no longer being moni-
tored. There is a risk of engine damage if the
coolant temperature is too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine. Do not continue driving under any
circumstances.
Consult an INFINITI retailer.
If the red coolant warning light comes on while
the engine is running, with or without an ac-
companying warning tone, it could mean that:
•The coolant level is too low.
•If the coolant level is correct, the airflow to
the engine radiator may be blocked or the
electric engine radiator fan may be malfunc-
tioning.
2-12Instruments and controls

•The coolant is too hot and the engine is no
longer being cooled sufficiently.
Observe the additional display messages in the
vehicle information display.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
Leave the vehicle and keep a safe distance from
the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
Check the coolant level and top up the coolant,
observing the warning notes (see If your ve-
hicle overheats in the6. In case of emergency
section).
If you have to top up the coolant frequently,
have the engine cooling system checked.
Make sure that the air supply to the engine
radiator is not blocked, e. g. by frozen slush.
Do not start the engine again until the coolant
temperature is below 250
oF (120oC). The
engine may otherwise be damaged.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is conve-
nient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches 0 (Empty).
There will be a small reserve of fuel in the
tank when the fuel gauge reaches 0 (Empty).
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The VDC warning light blinks 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.
You may feel or hear the system working, this is
normal.
The light will continue to blink for a few seconds
after the VDC system stops limiting wheel spin.
Cruise control or Intelligent Cruise Control is
deactivated.
For additional information see Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) OFF indicator light in the
2. Instruments and controls section andVe-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system in the
5. Starting and driving section.
INDICATOR LIGHTS

signal switch is activated. Both lights flash
when the hazard switch is turned on.
Low beam indicator light
This light comes on when the switch is turned to
the position:The headlights will come on
and front side, tail, number plate and instru-
ment lights remain on.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
OFF indicator light
The light comes on when the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) has been disabled. This indicates
that the VDC system is not operating.
Disabling the VDC system causes the Forward
Emergency Braking system to become unavail-
able. See Forward emergency braking (FEB)
system (if equipped) in the5. Starting and
driving section for more details.
This light also comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position. The
light will turn off after approximately 1 second if
the VDC system is operational.
When the VDC OFF indicator light and VDC
warning light (see Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light later in this section) come
on with the VDC system turned on, it alerts the
driver to the fact that the system’s fail-safe
mode is operating. This means that the system
may not be functioning properly. Have the
