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 dealer.

Some indicators and warnings are also displayed on the dot matrix crystal display between the speedometer and tachometer. (See DOT MATRIX LIQUID CRYSTAL DIS- PLAYlater in this section.)

WARNING LIGHTS

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warn- ing light (AWD models)

The warning light comes on when the ignition switch is pushed to ON. It turns off soon after the engine is started.

If the AWD system malfunctions, or the diameter of the front and the rear wheels are different, the warning light will either remain illuminated or blink. (See ALL- WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)in the 5. Starting and drivingsection.)

CAUTION

.If the warning light comes on while driving there may be a malfunction in the AWD system. Reduce the vehicle

speed and have your vehicle checked by an INFINITI dealer as soon as possible.

.If the AWD warning light blinks on when you are driving:

blinks rapidly (about twice a second):

Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine. The driving mode will change to 2WD to prevent the AWD system from malfunctioning. If the warning light turns off, you can drive again.

blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds):

Pull off the road in a safe area, and idle the engine. Check that all tire sizes are the same, tire pressure is correct and tires are not worn.

.If the warning light is still on after the above operations, have your vehicle checked by an INFINITI dealer as soon as possible.

or Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warn- ing 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 dealer.

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 SYSTEMin the 5. Starting and drivingsection.)

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 dealer check and repair the transmission.
