steady or blinks while the engine is running,
it may indicate a potential emission control
malfunction.
The Malfunction indicator lamp may also
come on steady if the fuel filler cap is loose or
missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is
installed and closed tightly, and that the
vehicle has at least 3 US gallons (14 liters) of
fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
lamp
should turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
Operation
The Malfunction indicator lamp will come on
in one of two ways:
O Malfunction indicator lamp on steady —
An emission control system malfunction
has been detected. Check the fuel filler
cap. If the fuel filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
lamp should turn off after a few
driving trips. If the
lamp does not
turn off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
INFINITI retailer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
O Malfunction indicator lamp blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which
may damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control sys-
tem damage:
* do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
* 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 autho-
rized INFINITI retailer. 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, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control
system.
