transmission INFINITI QX30 2018 Owner's Manual

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.

the programing procedure for the corre-

When doing so, vary the distance be-
tween the hand held transmitter
5and
the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between the hand
held transmitter
5and the integrated ga-
rage door opener depends on the garage
door drive system. Several attempts might
be necessary. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 25 seconds before trying
another position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programing button on thedoor drive control panel. The programing
button may be positioned at different loca-
tions depending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions before carrying
out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the ga-
rage door or gate opener drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Get out of the vehicle.
3. Press the programing button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
4. Get into the vehicle.
5. Press previously programed button
2,3or4on the HomeLink® until the door
closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
If you live in Canada
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for a few seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programing. Comparable with Canadian law,
some U.S. garage door openers also feature a
"break".
Proceed as follows:
•If you live in Canada
•If you have difficulties programing the ga-
rage door opener (regardless of where you
live) when using the programing steps.
1. Press and hold one of buttons

PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
•Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive hand-held transmitter
5and whether it is supported. The trans-
mitter frequency can usually be found onthe back of the garage door drive hand-
held transmitter. HomeLink® is compat-
ible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz.
•Replace the hand-held transmitter5bat-
teries with new batteries.
This increases the likelihood that the hand-
held transmitter
5will transmit a strong
and precise signal to the HomeLink®.
•When programing, hold the hand-held
transmitter
5at varying distances and
angles from the button which you are pro-
graming. Try various angles at a distance
between 2 and 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at
the same angle but at varying distances.
•If another hand-held transmitter is avail-
able for the same garage door drive, re-
peat the same programing steps with this
hand-held transmitter
5. Before per-
forming these steps, make sure that new
batteries have been installed in the hand-
held transmitter
5.
•Note that some hand-held transmitters
only transmit for a limited amount of time
(the indicator light on the hand-held trans-
mitter goes out). Press button
6on re-
mote hand-held transmitter
5again be-
fore transmission ends.
•Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/ transmission.
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.
