CHECKING BULBS
With all doors closed, apply the parking
brake and push the ignition switch to the
ON position without starting the engine.
The following lights will come on (if so
equipped):
,or,,,,,,
The following lights come on briefly and
then go off (if so equipped):
,or,,,,,,,,,
If any light does not come on, it may
indicate a burned-out bulb or an open
circuit in the electrical system. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display between the speedometer and
tachometer. (See“Dot matrix liquid crystal
display” later in this section.)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system
then operates normally, but without anti-
lock assistance. (See “Brake system”in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.)
Automatic transmission check
warning light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the light comes on for 2
seconds. If the light comes on at any other
time, it may indicate the transmission is
not functioning properly. Have your INFINITI
retailer check and repair the transmission.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
oil temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Transmission (AT) oil temperature is too
high. If the light illuminates while driving,
reduce the vehicle speed as soon as safely
possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the AT oil
temperature warning light is on may da-
mage the AT.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (4WD models)
This light indicates that the Automatic
Transmission (AT) parking function is not
engaged. If the transfer control is not
secured in any driving position while the
AT shift lever is in the “P”(Park) position,
the transmission will disengage and the
wheels will not lock.
If the AT park warning light illuminates
with the shift lever in the P (Park) position,
shift the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift
switch to the AUTO, 4H or 4L position

2-18Instruments and controls
side air bag, curtain and rollover air bag
systems and/or pretensioner seat belts are
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
front air bag, side air bag, curtain and
rollover air bag and pretensioner systems
needs servicing and your vehicle must be
taken to your nearest INFINITI retailer.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 sec-
onds.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
does not come on at all.
Unless checked and repaired, the supple-
mental restraint system (air bag system)
and/or the pretensioners may not function
properly.
For additional information, see “Supple-
mental restraint system” in the“1. Safety
— seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light is
on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain and rollover air bag systems
and/or pretensioner systems will not oper-
ate in an accident. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked by a retailer as soon as possible.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The light will blink when the VDC system or
the traction control system is operating,
thus alerting the driver that the vehicle is
nearing its traction limits. The road surface
may be slippery.
When the vehicle dynamic control warning
light illuminates when the vehicle dynamic
control system is turned on, this light
alerts the driver to the fact that the vehicle
dynamic control system’s fail-safe mode is
operating, for example the vehicle dynamic
control or hill start assist system may not
be functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an INFINITI retailer. If a
malfunction occurs in the system, the
vehicle dynamic control system function
will be canceled but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section of thismanual.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Adaptive Front lighting System
(AFS) indicator light (if so
equipped)
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the Adaptive Front lighting
System (AFS) indicator light will illuminate.
The light will turn off in about 1 second if
the AFS is operational.
If the AFS indicator light blinks, it may
indicate the AFS is not functioning prop-
erly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
See “Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)”
later in this section.
Automatic transmission posi-
tion indicator light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the indicator shows the shift
lever position.
In the manual shift mode, when the
transmission does not shift to the selected
gear due to a transmission protection
mode, the AT position indicator light will
blink and a buzzer will sound.

See“Automatic transmission” in the“5.
Starting and driving” section for further
details.
Blind Spot Intervention (BSI)
ON indicator light (green; if so
equipped)
The light comes on in green when the Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI) system is turned
on. The light turns off when the system is
turned off.
NOTE:
This light is common with the blind spot
warning light (orange). (See “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)/Blind Spot Intervention
(BSI) system warning light” earlier in this
section).
For more details, see “Blind Spot Warning/
Blind Spot Intervention
TM/Back-up Colli-
sion Intervention systems” in the“5.
Starting and driving” section.
Check suspension indicator
light
When the ignition switch is placed in the
“ON” position, the light comes on for 2
seconds.
Cruise indicator light (if so
equipped)
Cruise main switch indicator:
This light illuminates when the cruise
control main switch is pushed. The light
turns off when the main switch is pushed
again. When the cruise main switch in-
dicator light illuminates, the cruise control
system is operational. (See “Cruise con-
trol” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)
Cruise malfunction:
If the cruise indicator light blinks while the
engine is running, it may indicate the
cruise control system is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer. (See “Cruise control”in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
Exterior light indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head-
light switch is turned to the AUTO,orposition and the front parking lights,
instrument panel lights, rear combination
lights, license plate lights or headlights are
on. The indicator turns off when these
lights are turned off.
Front passenger air bag status
light
The front passenger air bag status light
() located on the instrument panel will
be lit and the passenger front air bag will
be OFF depending on how the front
passenger seat is being used.
For front passenger air bag status light
operation, see “INFINITI Advanced Air Bag
System (front seats)” in the“1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental re-
straint system” section of this manual.
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the low
beam is selected.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
off indicator light (if so equipped)
The light illuminates when the Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA) off switch is pushed to
OFF. This indicates that the Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA) system is not operating.
When the IBA off indicator light illuminates
while the system is turned on (without the
warning chime sound), this light indicates
that the system control is temporarily
unavailable.
Instruments and controls2-19

2-22Instruments and controls
Parking brake reminder chime
The chime will sound if the vehicle is driven
at more than 4 MPH (7 km/h) with the
parking brake applied. Stop the vehicle
and release the parking brake.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first occur
only when the brake pedal is depressed.
After more wear of the brake pad, the
sound will always be heard even if the
brake pedal is not depressed. Have the
brakes checked as soon as possible if the
warning sound is heard.
