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 properly. Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer. See “Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)” later in this section.

Automatic transmission position indicator light

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, the indicator shows the automatic selector 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 chime 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 (BSW) system/Blind Spot InterventionTM system” 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 indicator light illuminates, the cruise control system is operational. (See “Cruise control” 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 headlight switch is turned to the AUTO, or position 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 restraint 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.

When the IBA off indicator light illuminates with the warning chime sound while the IBA system is turned on, this light indicates that the system may not be functioning properly. Park the vehicle in a safe place. Check to see if the laser sensor is clean. Turn the engine off, then restart the engine. If the IBA off indicator light illuminates after following the procedures above, it may indicate that the system is malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is still driveable under normal conditions, have the vehicle checked at an INFINITI retailer. (See “Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)

Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) ON indicator light (green; if so equipped)

The light comes on in green when the Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system is turned on. The light turns off when the system is turned off.

NOTE:

This light is common with the lane departure warning light (orange). (See “Lane departure warning light” earlier in this section.)

For more details, see “Lane Departure Warning (LDW)/Prevention (LDP) system ” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

If the malfunction indicator light comes on steady or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate a potential emission control malfunction. The malfunction indicator light may also come on steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US gallons (14 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank. After a few driving trips, the light should turn off if no other potential emission control system malfunction exists. If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not ready for an emission control system inspection/maintenance test. (See “Readiness for Inspection/ Maintenance (I/M) test” in the “9. Technical and consumer information” section.)

Operation:

The malfunction indicator light will come on in one of two ways:

► Malfunction indicator light on steady — An emission control system malfunction has been detected. Check the fuelfiller cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears in the dot matrix liquid crystal display. If the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the cap and continue to drive the vehicle. The light should turn off after a few driving trips. If the light does not turn off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retailer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the retailer.
► Malfunction indicator light blinking — An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emission control system. To reduce or avoid emission control system damage: 1) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH (72 km/h). 2) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration. 3) Avoid steep uphill grades. 4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed. The malfunction indicator light may stop blinking and remain on. Have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI retailer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the retailer.

CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the emission control system checked and repaired as necessary could lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and possible damage to the emission control system.

Security indicator light

The light blinks when the ignition switch is in the ACC, OFF and LOCK position. This function indicates the security system equipped on the vehicle is operational. If the security system is malfunctioning, this light will remain on while the ignition switch is in the ON position. For additional information, see “Security systems” later in this section.

SNOW mode indicator light

When selecting SNOW mode while the engine is running, this light will illuminate. (See“SNOW mode” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)

TOW mode indicator light

This light will illuminate when the TOW MODE is selected while the engine is running. (See “Tow mode” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)

Turn signal/hazard indicator lights

The light flashes when the turn signal switch lever or hazard switch is turned on.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) off indicator light

The light comes on when the vehicle dynamic control off switch is pushed to OFF. This indicates that the vehicle dynamic control system is not operating. When the 4L position is selected with the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift switch, the VDC system is disabled and the VDC off indicator light illuminates. (4WD models) For additional information, see “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this manual.
