WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Infiniti FX37. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is located on the combination meter.
The MIL will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off. If the MIL remains illuminated, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system malfunction.
