Infiniti J30 Owner's Manual
FOREWORD
Your INFINITI represents a new way of thinking
about car design. It integrates advanced engineering and superior craftsmanship with a simple,
refined aesthetic sensitivity associated with traditional Japanese culture.
The result is a different notion of luxury and beauty.
The car itself is important, but so also is the sense
of harmony that the car evokes in its driver, and the
sense of satisfaction you feel with the INFINITI
—from the way it looks and drives to the high level
of dealer service.
To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to the
fullest, we encourage you to read this Owner’s
Manual immediately. It explains all of the features,
controls and performance characteristics of your
INFINITI; italsoprovidesimportantinstructions and
safety information.
A separate Warranty Information Booklet is to be
found in your Owner’s literature portfolio. Always
carry it with you when you take your INFINITI to an
authorized dealer. The portfolio contents provide
complete information about all warranties covering
this vehicle, the periodic maintenance required to
keep the warranties in effect as well as the INFINITI
Roadside Assistance program.
INFINITI is dedicated to providing a satisfying
ownership experience for as long as you own your
car. Should you have any questions regarding your
INFINITI or your INFINITI dealer, please contact our
Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-662-6200.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
WARNING
●
Your brake system may not be
working properly 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.
●
Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped could increase
your stopping distance and require greater pedal effort as well
as pedal travel.
●
If the level is below the MINIMUM
mark on the brake fluid reservoir,
do not drive until the brake system has been checked at an
INFINITI dealer.
or Anti-lock brake
warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate there is something
wrong with the anti-lock portion of the brake
system. In either case, have the system
checked by your INFINITI dealer.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the
anti-lock function will cease but the ordinary
brakes will continue to operate normally.
If the light comes on while you are
driving, contact your INFINITI dealer for
repair.
A/T check
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the
light comes on for 2 seconds. If the light
blinks for approximately 8 seconds, it may
indicate that there is something wrong with
the transmission. Have your INFINITI dealer
check and repair the transmission.

Turn signal/hazard indicator lights
The light flashes when the turn signal switch
lever or hazard switch is turned on.
Stop/tail warning light

bulbs are burned out. Replace the stop/tail
light bulb.
High beam indicator light
(Blue)
This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam
is selected.
CRUISE indicator light
The light comes on while the vehicle speed is
controlled by the cruise control system.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Key reminder chime
The chime will sound if the driver side door is
opened while the key is left in the ignition
switch. Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
A chime will sound when the driver side door
is opened if the light switch is turned on
(ignition switch is turned off).
Turn the light switch off when you leave the
vehicle.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear warnings. When a brake pad requires replacement,
it will make a high pitched scraping sound
when the vehicle is in motion whether or not
the brake pedal is depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the warning
sound is heard.
Malfunction indicator light
(MIL)
If the Malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running,
it may indicate a potential emission control
problem.
The Malfunction indicator light will come on
in one of two ways:
● Malfunction indicator light on steady —
An emission control system malfunction
has been detected. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized 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 control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system damage:
* do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
1-10
* avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
* avoid steep uphill grades.
* 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 authorized 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, which may affect your warranty
coverage.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Some conditions may cause the malfunction
indicator light to come on steady or blink. For
example, running the vehicle out of fuel,
which causes the engine to misfire, may cause
the malfunction indicator light to come on
steady or blink.
If you suspect that you experienced such a
condition, drive the vehicle to an authorized
INFINITI dealer and have the vehicle inspected. Avoid any unnecessary diagnosis
during the service by informing the dealer of
the condition that may have occurred.
