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.
O
Malfunction indicator light blinking —
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission con-
trol system. To reduce or avoid emis-
sion control system damage:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or decel-
eration.
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 come on steady.
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 re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor drive-
ability, reduced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control system.
Slip indicator light
This indicator will blink when the VDC
system or the traction control system is
operating, thus alerting the driver to the
fact that the road surface is slippery and
the vehicle is nearing its traction limits.
Snow mode switch indicator
light
When selecting SNOW mode while the en-
gine is running, this light will illuminate.
See “Snow mode switch” in the “2. In-
struments and controls” 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 Dy-
namic Control (VDC) off switch is pushed
to OFF. This indicates the VDC system and
traction control system are not operating.
When the VDC off indicator light and slip
indicator light come on with the VDC sys-
tem turned on, this light alerts the driver
to the fact that the VDC system’s fail-safe
mode is operating, i.e. the VDC system
may not be functioning properly. Have the
system checked by an INFINITI dealer. If a
malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled but the
vehicle is still driveable. For additional in-
formation, see “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chime
The chime will sound if the driver’s side
door is opened while the key is left in the
ignition switch (ignition switch is turned
off). Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.
