Operation:

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

.Malfunction indicator light on steady — An emission control system malfunc- tion has been detected. Check the fuel- filler cap. 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 dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

.Malfunction indicator light blinking — An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the emission con- trol system.

To reduce or avoid emission control system damage:

a)Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH (72 km/h).

b)Avoid hard acceleration or decelera- tion.

c)Avoid steep uphill grades.

d)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 dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

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.

Slip indicator light

This indicator will blink when the VDC system is operating, thus alerting the driver to the fact that the road surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing its traction limits.

Small light indicator light

The light illuminates when the front park, side marker, tail and license plate lights are on.

SPORT mode indicator light (if so equipped)

The SPORT mode indicator light illuminates when the SPORT mode is turned “ON”. (See “CONTINUOUS DAMPING CONTROL” 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.
