Display message INFINITI QX30 2018 Owners Manual

The and SENGER AIRBAG ON> indicator lights will
light up simultaneously for approximately six
seconds.
The indicator lights display the status of the
front passenger front air bag:
• lights up: the
front passenger front air bag is enabled. If,
in the event of an accident, all deployment
criteria are met, the front passenger front
air bag is deployed.
• lights up:
the front passenger front air bag is dis-
abled. It will then not be deployed in the
event of an accident.
If the status of the front passenger front air
bag changes while the vehicle is in motion, an
air bag display message appears in the ve-
hicle information display. When the front
passenger seat is occupied, always pay at-
tention to the
and indicator
lights. Be aware of the status of the front
passenger front air bag both before and dur-
ing the journey.
If neither the
or the indicator
lights light up, or if either indicator light only lights up intermittently during the journey, the
front passenger seat may not be used for a
child restraint. Use another seating position
for the child restraint. INFINITI recommends
that all child restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Preteen children should be seated in the
rear seat. For further information see
"Troubleshooting" later in this section.
Front passenger air bag
The front passenger air bag is designed to
automatically turn OFF when the vehicle is
operated under some conditions as described
below in accordance with U.S. regulations. If
the front passenger air bag is OFF, it will not
inflate in a crash. The driver air bag and other
air bags in your vehicle are not part of this
system. The purpose of the regulation is to
help reduce the risk of injury or death from an
inflating air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by requiring
the air bag to be automatically turned OFF
under some conditions. Certain sensors are
used to meet the requirements.
The occupant classification sensor in this ve-
hicle is a pressure sensor. It is designed to
detect an occupant and objects on the seat
by weight. For example, if a child up to the
approximate size and weight of a one year
old is properly restrained is in the front pas-senger seat, the INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System is designed to turn the front passen-
ger air bag OFF. For a properly restrained
child who is larger than the approximate size
and weight of a one year old, the front pas-
senger air bag may or may not be automati-
cally turned OFF, depending on the size of
the child and the type of child restraint being
used. After installing the child restraint and
positioning the child, place the ignition switch
in the ON position: if the BAG OFF> indicator light is illuminated, the
air bag is OFF. If the ON> indicator light is illuminated, the air bag
will inflate in a crash. 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 oth-
erwise 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.
INFINITI recommends that pre-teens and
children be properly restrained in a rear seat.
INFINITI also recommends that appropriate

BRAKE warning light (red)
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on. Driv-
ing could be dangerous. If you judge it to
be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driving
it could be dangerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the igni-
tion 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 mini-
mum or MIN mark on the brake fluid res-
ervoir, do not drive until the brake sys-
tem 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 func-
tioning properly. 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 posi-
tion, the Low tire pressure warming light illu-
minates to indicate that the system is opera-
tional. 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
pressure, the warning light will illuminate. A
tire pressure warning message also appears
in the vehicle information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light il-
luminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all 4 tires to the recom- mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label located in
the driver's door opening, see "Tire and load-
ing information label" in the "9. Mainte-
nance and Schedules" section. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is ad-
justed. After the tire is inflated to the recom-
mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven
at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to acti-
vate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.
The low tire pressure warning message ap-
pears each time the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position as long as the low tire
pressure warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see "Vehicle in-
formation display" later in this section and
"Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)" in
the "5. Starting and driving" section.
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the
low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The light
will remain on after 1 minute. Have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service. The low
tire pressure warning does not appear if the
Instruments and controls2-9

The emission limit values may be exceeded
and the engine may be running in emergency
mode.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without hav-
ing the engine control system checked and
repaired as necessary could lead to poor
driveability, 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)" in
the "5. Starting and driving" section.
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" in the "3. 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 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" in the "1. Safety — seats, seat belts and
supplemental restraint system" section 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.
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).
Instruments and controls2-11

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)" in the "1. 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 en-
gine can cause serious burns, which can oc-
cur 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 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.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying atten-
tion to road and traffic conditions, and switch
off the engine.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
