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

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 (including a loose or
missing fuel filler cap).
•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 re-
tailer 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 emer-
gency braking (FEB) system (if equipped)".
Electric parking brake
warning light
The red indicator illuminates when the elec-
tric parking brake is engaged.
If the red indicator light for the electric park-
ing brake flashes or is lit and/or the yellow
warning light for the electric parking brake is
lit, observe the additional messages dis-
played in the vehicle information display.
For further parking brake operation informa-
tion see "Parking brake".
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 fas-
tens their seat belt. A chime will sound once
the vehicle is in motion, see "Seat belt re-
minder chime" later in this section. See "Seat
belts" for precautions on seat belt usage.
The seat belt warning light may also illumi-
nate if there are objects on the front passen-
ger seat. Remove the objects and stow them
in a safe place.
Instruments and controls2-11

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 ve-
hicle checked by an INFINITI retailer as
soon as possible.
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) air bag warning light illuminates to in-
dicate 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 pretensioner systems need servicing:
•The supplemental air bag warning light
remains 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 re-
tailer for these services. Unless checked and
repaired, the supplemental restraint system
(air bag system) and/or the pretensioner sys-
tems may not function properly. For addi-
tional information, refer to "Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS)".
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 en-
gine can cause serious burns, which can oc-
cur just by opening the hood.
There is a risk of injuryIf the red coolant warning light lights up while
the engine is running and the coolant tem-
perature gauge is at the start of the scale, the
temperature sensor for the coolant tempera-
ture gauge is faulty. The coolant temperature
is no longer being monitored. There is a risk of
engine damage if the coolant temperature is
too high.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying atten-
tion 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 accompanying 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 mal-
functioning.
•The coolant is too hot and the engine is no
longer being cooled sufficiently.
Observe the additional display messages in
the vehicle information display.

WARNING
VDC should remain on unless freeing a ve-
hicle from mud or snow.
While the VDC system is operating, you
might feel a slight vibration or hear the sys-
tem working when starting the vehicle or ac-
celerating, but this is normal.

Message Possible causes/consequences and solutions
[Front Passenger Airbag
Disabled See Operator's
Manual]The front-passenger front air bag is disabled during the journey although an adult or person of corresponding stature is on the
front passenger seat.
Front passenger seat adult occupants who are properly seated and using the seat belt as outlined in this manual should not cause
the front passenger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF, however if the occupant takes
his/her weight off the seat cushion (for example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out
of position), this could cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly for
the most effective protection by the seat belt and supplemental air bag.
If additional forces are applied to the seat, the system may interpret the occupant's weight as lower than it actually is.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe area away from traffic as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Have the occupant on the front-passenger seat step out of the vehicle.
5. Make sure that the seat is unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the ignition.
6. Observe the indicator lights in the center console and the vehicle information display and check the
following. Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on:
- The and indicator lights must light up simultaneously for
approximately six seconds.
- The indicator lights must then light up and remain lit. If the indicator light is on, the automatic
front-passenger front air bag deactivation system has disabled the front-passenger front air bag (see "Front passenger air bag
and status light")
- the [Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator's Manual] or [Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator's Manual]
display messages must not be shown in the vehicle information display.
7. Wait for a period of at least 60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been completed.
8. Make sure that the display messages do not appear in the vehicle information display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be occupied again. Whether the or
indicator light remains lit or goes out depends on how the automatic front passenger front air bag deactivation system classifies the
occupant.
If, after taking the steps above, you still believe the system is not operating properly, have it checked immediately. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
For further information on the automatic front-passenger front air bag deactivation feature (see "Front passenger air bag and
status light").
