or
Brake warning
light
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator :
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light comes on when the parking brake is
applied.
Low brake fluid warning light :
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the
light comes on while the engine is running with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle
and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake
fluid as necessary. (See “BRAKE FLUID” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
warning system checked by an INFINITI
dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator :
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate
the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the
brake system checked, and if necessary re-
paired, by an INFINITI dealer promptly. Avoid
high-speed driving and abrupt braking. (See
“Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
earlier in this section.)
WARNING
●
Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly if the warning light is on. Driving could
be dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive
carefully to the nearest service station for
repairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dangerous.
●
Pressing the brake pedal with the engine
stopped and/or low brake fluid level may
increase your stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.
●
If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked at an INFINITI dealer.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is run-
ning, it may indicate the charging system is not
functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, see
an INFINITI dealer immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.
Door open warning light
This light comes on when any of the doors are
not closed securely while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If
the light flickers or comes on during normal
driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop the
engine
immediately
and call an INFINITI dealer
or other authorized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is not de-
signed to indicate a low oil level. Use the dip-
stick to check the oil level.
(See “ENGINE OIL” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.)
