this section.
WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-8Instruments and controls

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

•If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of
less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS may
not operate correctly.
•Be sure to install the specified size of tires
to all four wheels correctly.
Malfunction Indicator light (MIL)
(yellow)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, the yellow Malfunction Indicator light
illuminates. This means that the system is
operational.
If the yellow engine malfunction indicator light
lights up while the engine is running, there may
be a fault, for example:
•In the engine management
•In the fuel injection system
•In the exhaust system
•In the ignition system (for vehicles with
gasoline engines)
•In the fuel system
•In other monitored items, for example the
automatic transmission.The emission limit values may be exceeded and
the engine may be running in emergency mode.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having
the engine control system checked and re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor drive-
ability, reduced fuel economy and possible
damage to the engine control system.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system
may lead to non-compliance of local and na-
tional emission laws and regulations.
Have the vehicle checked as soon as possible. It
is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
Distance warning light (if
equipped)
This light illuminates if the distance to the
vehicle in front is too small for the speed
selected.
If a warning tone also sounds, you are ap-
proaching a vehicle or stationary obstacle in
your line of travel at too high a speed. For
additional information see Forward emergency
braking (FEB) system (if equipped) in the
5. Starting and driving section.
Electric parking brake
warning light
The red indicator illuminates when the electric
parking brake is engaged.
If the red indicator light for the electric parking
brake flashes or is lit and/or the yellow warning
light for the electric parking brake is lit, observe
the additional messages displayed in the ve-
hicle information display.
For further parking brake operation information
seeParking brake in the3. Pre-driving checks
and adjustments section.
Seat belt (driver and front
passenger) warning light
The seat belt warning light reminds you to
fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates if
the engine is started, all doors are closed and
the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat belt
is unfastened. It will remain illuminated until
the driver and/or front passenger fastens their
seat belt. A chime will sound once the vehicle is
in motion, seeSeat belt reminder chime later
in this section. See Seat beltsin the1. Safety
— seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system section for precautions on seat belt
usage.

INFINITI retailer for these services.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled, but the ve-
hicle is still driveable. For additional informa-
tion, seeVehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system in the5. Starting and driving section.
WARNING
VDC should remain on unless freeing a vehicle
from mud or snow.

feel a slight vibration or hear the system work-
ing when starting the vehicle or accelerating,
but this is normal.
Front fog light indicator light (if
equipped)
The light comes on when the front fog lights are
switched on (see Fog light switch (If so
equipped) later in this section).
High beam assist indicator light
(if equipped)
The indicator light illuminates when the head-
lights come on while the headlight switch is in
the AUTO position with the high beam selected.
This indicates that the high beam assist system
is operational. (See 2-63.)
High beam indicator light
This blue light comes on when the headlight
high beams are on and goes out when the low
beams are selected.
The high beam indicator light also comes on
when the passing signal is activated.
Rear fog light indicator light
The light comes on when the rear fog light is
switched on (see Fog light switch (If so
equipped) later in this section).
Side light and headlight
indicator light

headlight position is selected, see Headlight
and turn signal switches later in this section
for further details.
/Front passenger air
bag status light
The front passenger air bag status light ()
located on the center console above the shift
lever will illuminate when the front passenger
air bag is turned OFF. When the front passenger
air bag is turned on, the front passenger air bag
status light ON (
) will illuminate.
