INFINITI Dashboard Warning Lights & What They Mean

Your INFINITI’s dashboard lights are designed to alert you to important vehicle conditions and potential issues. Understanding what each warning light means can help you take prompt action to keep your car safe and running smoothly. Here’s a look at a few warning lights that you should be familiar with:

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Warning Light

Indicates a problem with the ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System). Your regular brakes still work, but the anti-lock function that prevents wheel lock during hard braking may be disabled, which can be dangerous in emergency braking situations.

Airbag light

Airbag Warning Light

Signals a fault in the airbag system. Airbags may not deploy properly in a crash, so the airbag system should be checked immediately.

Brake warning light

Brake Warning Light

Can mean low brake fluid, worn brake pads, or a problem with the braking system. Do not ignore this warning light, as it affects braking performance and overall driving safety.

Service Engine Soon aka Check Engine Light

Service Engine Soon/Check Engine Light

Alerts you to engine or emission system issues. It could be minor (like a loose gas cap) or more serious, so get it diagnosed promptly.

Low oil pressure light

Oil Pressure Warning Light

Warns of low oil pressure, which can severely damage the engine if ignored. Stop driving and check oil levels immediately or contact the closest INFINITI dealership for assistance.

TPMS light

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light

Indicates one or more tires are underinflated. Check tire pressures and inflate to the recommended levels.
