MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for changing the engine oil.
You can set or reset the distance for
changing the engine oil. (See“Trip compu-
ter” later in this section.)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing the oil filter.
You can set or reset the distance for
replacing the oil filter. (See “Trip compu-
ter” later in this section.)
3. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance comes for replacing tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
tires. (See “Trip computer” later in this
section.)
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, including
tire pressure checks. See “Changing wheels
and tires” in the“8. Maintenance and do-it- yourself”
section. Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to a collision,
which could result in serious personal injury
or death.
4. “OTHER” indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing items other
than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
the items. (See “Trip computer” later in
this section.)
More maintenance reminders are also
available on the center display. (See
“ How to use INFO button” in the“4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section.)

headlights automatically when it is dark
and turn off the headlights when it is light.
For US models: The headlights will also be
turned on automatically at twilight or in
rainy weather (when the windshield wiper
is operated continuously).
If the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position and one of the doors is opened
and this condition is continued, the head-
lights remain on for 5 minutes.
Automatic headlights off delay:
You can keep the headlights on for up to
180 seconds after you push the ignition
switch to OFF and open any door then close
all the doors.
You can adjust the period of the automatic
headlights off delay from 0 seconds (OFF)
to 180 seconds. The factory default setting
is 45 seconds.
For automatic headlights off delay setting,
see “Comfort settings” in the“4. Monitor,
climate, audio, phone and voice recogni-
tion systems” section.

equipped)

2-48Instruments and controls
.Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the
seat may become overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to the
climate controlled seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat should be
removed immediately with a dry cloth.
. The climate controlled seat has an air
filter. Do not operate climate controlled
seat without an air filter. This may result
in damage to the system.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar materi-
als.
. If any malfunctions are found or the
climate controlled seat does not operate,
turn the switch off and have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer.

The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Forward
Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Warning
(BSW) systems) that are activated using
the settings menu on the center display.
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
*1on the switch is off.
The indicator will also be off if all of the
warning systems are deactivated using the
settings menu.
The FCW system will sound a warning
chime and the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light blinks to alert the driver if
the vehicle is traveling close to the vehicle ahead. (See
“Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.)
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the lane departure warn-
ing light (orange) to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left
or the right of a traveling lane with
detectable lane markers. (See “Lane De-
parture Warning (LDW)/Prevention (LDP)
system ”in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)
The BSW system will turn on the BSW
indicator lights, located next to the outside
mirrors, if the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the
detected vehicle, a chime sounds twice and
the BSW indicator light will flash. (See
“Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TM/Back-up Collision Intervention sys-
tems” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)
