In certain frontal collisions with a pedestrian,
the pop-up engine hood system can help re-
duce impact to the head of a pedestrian. This
system is designed to pop up the rear end of
the hood in certain frontal collisions to pro-
vide specified clearance between the hood
and the engine compartment to reduce im-
pact to a pedestrian.
The pop-up engine hood system activates in
certain frontal collisions with pedestrians or
objects when the vehicle is driven at speeds
between approximately 12 and 37 mph (20
and 60 km/h). While driving, the pop-up en-
gine hood may activate in the event of an
impact collision involving the bottom of the
vehicle or bumper. The system activates
when the collision impact reaches a certain
level even though the collision does not cause
damage to the bumper.
The pop-up engine hood operates only when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
When the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion, the pop-up engine hood warning light
illuminates for about 7 seconds and then
turns off. This indicates that the pop-up en-
gine hood is operational. For additional in-
formation, see “Warning lights, indicator
lights and audible reminders” (P. 2-9).WARNING
• The pop-up engine hood will not activate
in the event of a side impact, rear impact
or rollover collision.
• The pop-up engine hood may not acti-
vate in the event of a corner impact col-
lision of the front bumper.
• No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components including hood
and front bumper, or wiring of the
pop-up engine hood system. This is to
prevent accidental or improper activa-
tion, or damage to the pop-up engine
hood system.
• It is recommended that work performed
around or on the pop-up engine hood
system should be done by an INFINITI
retailer. The wiring of the pop-up engine
hood system should not be modified or
disconnected. Unauthorized electrical
test equipment and probing devices
should not be used on the pop-up engine
hood system. This could affect proper
operation of the pop-up engine hood and
cause accidental and improper
activation. •
Do not pull the hood lock release handle
or push the hood down after the pop-up
engine hood system activates. Doing so
could cause personal injury or damage to
the hood because the hood cannot be
closed manually after the system is acti-
vated. When the pop-up engine hood ac-
tivates, it is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer.
• If you need to dispose of the pop-up en-
gine hood system, or scrap the vehicle, it
is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer. Correct pop-up engine
hood system disposal procedures are set
forth in the appropriate INFINITI Service
Manual. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.
• The pop-up engine hood cannot be re-
used after activation. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for re-
placement. If the vehicle becomes in-
volved in a frontal collision but the
pop-up engine hood system is not acti-
vated, it is recommended that you have
the pop-up engine hood system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by an
INFINITI retailer.

If any light fails to come on or operate in a
way other than described, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunc-
tion. Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played in the vehicle information display be-
tween the speedometer and tachometer. For
additional information, see “Vehicle informa-
tion display” (P. 2-19).
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS
(red)
For additional information, see “Vehicle in-
formation display” (P. 2-19).
orBrake warning
light
This light functions for the foot brake system.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake fluid
level. If the light comes on while the engine is
running, with the parking brake not applied,
stop the vehicle and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluidas necessary. For additional information,
see “Brake fluid” (P. 8-10).
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
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 with the engine
stopped and/or a low brake fluid level
may increase your 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
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
Charge warning light
If this light comes on while the engine is run-
ning, it may indicate the charging system is
not functioning properly. Turn the engine off
and check the generator belt. If the belt is
loose, broken, or missing or if the light re-
mains on, have the system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the generator
belt is loose, broken or missing.
