hybrid service alert

A lightning bolt (or zigzag) wrench suggests that your Infiniti's hybrid system is in need of service. This can be due to many factors such as mileage, age, or the system encountered an error. Ideally, take the vehicle to an Infiniti mechanic, as hybrid systems are very specialized.

power steering warning

If you see a red steering wheel with an exclamation mark next to it, it's probably a problem with the power steering. Try stopping and reversing the car, turning it completely off and then on again. If the light stays on After restarting the vehicle, seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or Infiniti dealer.

Security/Theft Alert

A single red dot on the dashboard could indicate that the security/anti-theft system is faulty. This could be the case with one of the security systems such as the immobilizer or the alarm (if you have one). If the light stays on while driving, this definitely indicates a problem and requires a trained mechanic to check.

airbag warning

A passenger with a large circle in front of you and an illuminated red indicator on the dash is your Infiniti and you want to report a problem with one or all of your air bags, take your vehicle to a trained mechanic or Infiniti dealer.

Urinary tract check

The image of a passenger with a full-length ribbon, shown in a red light, indicates that the passenger has not fastened the seat belt correctly. This system works by detecting a passenger based on their weight in a seat, so if you have groceries or luggage in a seat, it can activate. An audio alarm is also usually activated when the car is moving.

Transmission oil overheating warning

If you see a red warning on your dashboard that looks like a thermometer in a wavy circle (or maybe flower petals), your transmission fluid is too hot. It may be because the oil may need to be replaced either because it is not doing its job properly or it is putting too much stress on the gearbox of your Infiniti.Go as soon as possibleLet the oil cool before driving again. If the problem persists, contact a qualified mechanic or Infiniti dealer.

engine temperature warning

If you see a cluster of waves with a thermometer floating above it with a red backlight, your car is telling you that the engine is overheating. The ripples represent the engine coolant, which is usually measured in terms of temperature, the cause of which can range from an engine overload to a leak or malfunction.You must stop and let the engine cool., if the problem persists, seek professional help from Infiniti or a trained mechanic.

oil temperature warning

If you see an oil can with a thermometer, chances are your car is indicating that the engine oil is too hot. This could be due to hard acceleration or, in the worst case scenario, an oil leak. Because it's a red flag.You must stop and let the engine cool.. If it persists, see a mechanic.

brake warning

This warning light may look different depending on the region where you purchased your Infiniti. In most areas, the brake warning light simply appears as the text BRAKE, but in Canada it appears as an exclamation mark with the brake pads surrounding it. The Canadian version is a bit confusing as this symbol also looks like the parking brake symbol for many cars. In either case, you'll see a red icon (specifically the red brake warning) in every region you're in.You must stop the car immediately.There could be all sorts of things wrong with the brakes including fluid pressure or even technology issues like brake assist programs that could be faulty. Contact an independent repair shop or Infiniti dealer when you see this symbol.

Charging system warning

This warning light is shaped like a battery (or Lego brick) with a positive and negative symbol on each side and is solid red. When this light comes on on your dashboard, it means the engine is no longer charging the battery.As it is a red traffic light it means you have to stop and stopthe car as quickly as possible. A common cause of this problem is that the alternator has stopped working or the cables connecting it to the battery have come loose. Continuing to drive with a battery that may be nearly dead could lead to a serious accident and you could lose important systems at any time. Contact an independent mechanic or contact your local Infiniti dealer/repair.

oil pressure warning

A borderless red Aladdin's lamp icon indicates low engine oil pressure. This could be caused by a leak causing rapid loss of oil under the engine or oil burning inside the engine and being expelled from the exhaust.As this is a red warning lightIt is not recommended to continue driving the vehicle until the warning light goes off. Driving with a low oil pressure gauge can cause serious engine damage as the engine is not properly lubricated and can overheat and/or cause excessive wear.

master warning light

A triangular warning symbol with an exclamation point in the middle is usually used to indicate that the car has detected a serious error and has attempted to correct it. If you find that the warning light stays on even after restarting the car, consult an Infiniti dealer or a trained mechanic.

adaptive cruise control warning

A speedometer and a car with an exclamation point warning can be used for the adaptive cruise control system to report an error. It may also be displayed with the letters "ACC" in amber or red. This system uses radars and/or cameras to monitor the traffic in front of the car and adjust the speed to follow it. If this warning light comes on, try restarting the car to see if it resists and, if it persists, consult a qualified mechanic or an Infiniti dealership.

range sensor warning

If you see a warning light that looks like a car driving over broken or solid lines, your car may be warning you to change lanes. An audible alert can accompany the visual one, and this system can only work if it can recognize lanes of traffic, for example with the help of a camera or other technology. Some Infiniti models can act on behalf of the driver and correct the vehicle's direction to ensure it stays in the center of the current lane.

Forward collision detection off

A warning light on the dashboard symbolizing 2 cars with a star symbolizing an accident, with the word "OFF" below it indicates that the forward collision detection system is off. If you have not turned off the system yourself, you should visit a qualified mechanic or Infiniti dealer to have this safety feature repaired.

collision detection warning

A warning showing two cars in a row with an exclamation mark and an arrow under one of them could be for the Forward Collision Detection System. The system attempts to inform you that it has recognized a situation where a potential collision could occur and is responding. You can do this by adjusting your brakes, suspension, and seat belts. If you see this warning light come on, consult a qualified mechanic or an Infiniti dealer.

key fob detection indicator

A key icon surrounded by ripples on your dashboard can tell you that your car remote has been detected. If this does not appear when the car keys are in the car, you may have a dead battery in the remote.

ABS warning

This warning light is very obvious, showing the letters "ABS" surrounded by a circle and some crudely drawn brake pads. The purpose of the warning is to inform you that the ABS brake assist system is not working properly, but the brakes can function normally without assistance. It is recommended that you contact a qualified mechanic or Infiniti dealer as soon as possible.

Stability/traction control off

Similar to the stability control (also known as traction control) warning icon, it includes the word "OFF" to alert you that the system is off. Disabling stability control in a car is usually not as easy as accidentally pressing a button, having to hold a button for several seconds is common. If you didn't turn it off yourself, there may be a fault and you need help from a trained mechanic.

stability control warning

If you need to intervene with stability control, you will likely see an orange/amber warning light indicating a car with hot tubs below. Most of the time when activated you will also hear an audible alarm letting you know that the car has intervened to restore traction.it's probably a bug in the system. Contact a qualified mechanic or Infiniti dealer if the warning light stays on.

low fuel indicator

If you have an old gas pump at a gas station that glows orange/amber, you're probably low on fuel. If this warning light stays on after refueling, contact your dealer or qualified mechanic.

Low windshield washer fluid warning

An icon representing a windshield (or an open book) with a fountain of water in the center tries to warn you that your car is low on windshield washer fluid. Refilling should be easy and there's a cap under the hood with the same symbol to indicate where to add washer fluid. If you recharged and the light did not go out (wait a few minutes), seek professional help.

Loose fuel cap warning

If a strange icon appears on your dashboard that appears to show a car with a part removed and a screw floating next to it, the gas cap may be loose. If you've checked the tank cap and it's working properly, you may need to contact a trained mechanic who can check for other issues.A loose gas cap or a leak in this system can cause pressure problems.in modern engines (especially diesel) that can cause the engine to run erratically.

Check engine light warning

The dreaded check engine light can mean many things to your Infiniti and can range from a simple repair to a major expense. The icon can appear as an icon with text in the middle or no text and an outline of some sort of gear. If you see this warning light on, stop and try to start the engine. Sometimes a wild swing can trigger it when there's no real problem. If the light is flashing instead of solid, the problem is likely fatal to the engine and will require you to turn it off as soon as possible. A mechanic will connect an OBD2 reader to your dashboard to obtain an error code and diagnose the problem; You can also do it yourself, which you bought at a low price.

Hybrid power limit warning

If you see a yellow/orange turtle in a circle on your dashboard, your Infiniti is trying to tell you that the hybrid system is weak. This could be caused by dead batteries due to heavy use, but there could also be a more sinister reason: battery damage. If this warning keeps popping up longer than it used to, it's probably best to test your car's hybrid system.

Electronic throttle control warning

If you see a lightning bolt (zigzag) symbol between two curved lines, there may be a problem with the electronic throttle control system. The easiest solution to fix this is to stop and restart the car; If not, your best bet is to visit a qualified mechanic.

tire pressure warning

Most Infiniti vehicles sold today have a tire pressure warning light on the instrument panel. When the tire pressure drops, this light will glow amber to indicate that you need to troubleshoot.When the indicator flashesThis can mean a rapid drop in pressure and it is recommended to stop immediately. The pressure drop could be due to a leak due to a puncture or wear around the tire; even a quick change in temperature can sometimes cause this too. Driving with incorrectly inflated tires can be dangerous and affect braking and handling. Worst case scenario, the tire blows (usually at the worst possible time, like at higher speeds) and your car coasts uncontrollably to a stop.

Auto stop start warning

If you see a circle with an arrow and the letter "A" in the middle, or even an exclamation mark, then this indicates that the automatic start-stop system has encountered an error. The easiest solution is to restart the car to see if the problem persists, in which case seek professional help, but only without this rescue function can the car run normally.

cruise control indicator

A green warning light showing a speedometer with an arrow pointing to it indicates that cruise control is active. The icon may also appear yellow and possibly even have an icon next to it indicating an automatic path.

high headlight indicator

A blue (or sometimes yellow) semicircle with straight lines on either side indicates that the vehicle's high beams are on. When you activate the main beam, the high beam is also activated and produces a much more powerful beam of light aimed forward. It is customary (and required by law in some places) not to drive with them in front of another road user. To turn them on and off, it is usually the back and forth movement of the lever that turns on the lights behind the steering wheel.

fog light indicator

If you see a semicircle next to a series of squiggly lines, it indicates that your fog lights are on. When you activate the main headlights, these additional lights are also visible to help you see better in foggy conditions. If you need to turn them off, the controls will likely be near the steering wheel and lights.

Display soon for hybrid

A green box with the word "READY" on an Infiniti dashboard probably means the hybrid system is ready to go. The batteries have enough charge to run the engines and drive the car in electric mode.

brake pad indicator

A yellow brake disc with an illuminated yellow exclamation mark could be a sign of brake pad wear. This is becoming more common on modern models and should give you plenty of time to correct the problem before the pads become dangerously thin.

Engine coolant warning

If you see a cluster of waves with a thermometer floating above it with a red backlight, your car is telling you that the engine is overheating. The ripples represent the engine coolant, which is usually measured in terms of temperature, the cause of which can range from an engine overload to a leak or malfunction.You must stop and let the engine cool., if the problem persists, seek professional help from Infiniti or a trained mechanic.

Alerta de powertrain/powertrain

Your Infiniti's powertrain/engine refers to the mechanical parts that transfer power from your car's engine to the wheels. This can include gearbox/transmission, clutch, differentials, off-road equipment and axles (as well as many other parts and driving aids). A warning light here that won't go off when you turn the car off and on is probably serious and could be dangerous while it is on.

Alert display alert

A warning light appearing on the dashboard of your Infiniti that looks like a caterpillar or a long tube with flashing lines may be related to the heads up display. display shows, there may be a problem with the system. Contact an Infiniti mechanic or dealer to have your vehicle and problem diagnosed.

Electronic parking brake alert

The electronic parking brake replaces the parking brake on modern Infiniti models and is normally operated with a button rather than a joystick near the gear lever. It may also appear as a yellow warning light with a letter "P" inside it. If the system detects a fault, a warning will appear, which look like brake pads around a circle with a lightning bolt symbol inside, in red. As the driver, compared to a traditional parking brake system, feels less feedback from a digital system; this notice is very important. If this warning appears, it could be dangerous, contact your local Infiniti dealer.

Blind spot warning off

A warning light consisting of 2 cars side by side with a radar effect in the middle and the word "OFF" above it tells you that the blind spot detection system is off. The blind spot, commonly known as the field of vision, is absent from most drivers' field of vision. If you have not turned off the blind spot detection system yourself and it persists even after turning the vehicle off and on, consult a mechanic.

hood ajar warning

More serious than the trunk ajar warning, it is extremely important not to ignore the hood ajar warning. Make sure your Infiniti's hood is not open; to do this, open it all the way and then close it again with a little force to ensure that the mechanism locks. A loose hood can be very dangerous as it can open at high speed and damage the windshield.

Warning: trunk ajar

The outline of a car with an image of a hatch extending from the right side would suggest that its trunk is still open. Make sure you close the trunk of the car before driving, as the alert will become more severe and will also include audible alerts. If the trunk is not open, there may be a problem with the sensor.

Engine air filter warning

If your air filter is clogged, you will need to replace it with a new one, a simple and relatively inexpensive procedure to fix the problem. This warning light appears on your dashboard as a series of balls that look like a gust of wind.

Water in fuel warning

Most diesel fuel filters can remove traces of water in the fuel before problems arise, but if something does, you may see this warning. Water can be fatal to engines, so the fuel filter can be removed and a portion saved for later emptying. when you check yourcar instruction manualYou need to detail this process when you see this warning light that looks like a fuel pump next to drops of water or rain.

glowing candle notice

A bright yellow warning light that looks like a coil of wire or filament represents glow plug heating, which is part of a diesel engine and helps with cold starting. It should come on only briefly when you turn the ignition on and should disappear quickly to indicate warm-up is complete. If the warning still appears on your dashboard, there may be a problem and you will need to see an Infiniti mechanic.

service reminder

Some models are equipped with a service reminder that activates after a certain number of kilometers or months have passed since the last service by a mechanic. It usually appears as a wrench with a solid exclamation mark. This is usually just a friendly reminder and not an indicator that something is wrong, but it's best to get this resolved soon to keep your car in top condition.

Brake Replacement Notice

Pressing the brake pedal and accelerator pedal at the same time not only causes damage to the vehicle, but can also cause an accident. In some cars you will find a warning on the dashboard that tells you to press both pedals at the same time so that you understand and stop doing this. Some models even solve the problem for you, but you still need to change your driving style for safety reasons. If this warning light is flashing, there is a problem with the system and you need to fix it as soon as possible.

notice adblue

Adblue® is an additive used in some modern diesel engines to reduce the amount of pollutants it emits. When it's low on charge, you'll need to recharge it, otherwise the engine may not start when it's completely discharged. The warning is displayed with the words Adblue or simply as an empty bottle. You can buy Adblue® fluid in many different places, including petrol/petrol stations.

Headlights/taillights off warning

Some modern models are equipped with an alert system that indicates when a headlight or taillight is off. This can be very useful as a dim light may not be easy to notice, but it can quickly lead to security issues. The notice looks like a lightbulb trapped in a circle with two smaller semicircles surrounding it.

immobilizer warning

The immobilizer is a security component in your car that prevents thieves from short-circuiting it. It disables power to the fuel pump and works by recognizing your key in the car to allow it to start. If there is a problem with the device, chances are your car won't start and shows an icon that looks like a car with a big key inside. Contact a trained Infiniti mechanic to diagnose and correct the problem.

air suspension warning

Some car models (usually SUVs) are equipped with an air suspension system that allows them to be lowered or raised. Unfortunately, these systems have a lot of moving parts and rely on wiring that can be easily damaged. If you see a warning light that looks like the outline of a car with arrows pointing up and down, it could be related to your air suspension. Driving the malfunctioning car can be dangerous, so consult a trained mechanic.

automatic transmission warning

An automatic transmission can make driving a lot easier, but it's also a complex component. When it goes wrong, it tends to go very wrong, leading to expensive results. If you see what looks like a gear with an exclamation mark, your car may be alerting you that it is detecting a gearbox failure. Service it as soon as possible and avoid pushing it, or don't drive it if you don't want to risk further damage.

oil service warning

A yellow oil symbol (instead of the stricter red) can mean you need oil service (basically changed) and/or the oil level has dropped. Some modern car brands display this as a real message, e.g. "Oil Service Required" or "Oil Change Required" appears on the panel. To resolve this, you should change the oil and ideally replace the oil filter at the same time to remove any contaminants that may have been left in the system. I'm looking for a quick fix to pay the bills, although you can level up to be sure, but this isn't a long term fix.
