is recommended you have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.

Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played on the vehicle information display. (See
“Vehicle information display” (P.2-18).)

WARNING LIGHTS

Anti-lock Braking System

(ABS) warning light

When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates
the ABS is operational.

If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-27).)

Automatic transmission check

warning light (if so equipped)

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds. If the
light comes on at any other time, it may indicate
the transmission is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
check and repair the transmission.

Brake warning light

This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.

Parking brake indicator:

When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light comes on when the parking brake is
applied.

Low brake fluid warning light:

When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the
light comes on while the engine is running with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle
and perform the following:

1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid

as necessary. (See “Brake and clutch fluid”
(P.8-9).)

brake system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. (See “Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light” (P.2-11).)

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 care-
fully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your
vehicle towed because driving it
could be dangerous.

Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.

If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Charge warning light

If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate the charging system is not
functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, have
your vehicle serviced immediately. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

CAUTION

Do not continue driving if the alternator
belt is loose, broken or missing.

Engine oil pressure warning light

This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light flickers or comes on during normal driving,
pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine
immediately and call a NISSAN dealer or other
authorized repair shop.

The engine oil pressure warning light is
not designed to indicate a low oil level.
Use the dipstick to check the oil level. (See
“Engine oil” (P.8-6).)

CAUTION

Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Such damage is not cov-
ered by warranty. Turn off the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so.

Intelligent Key system warning light

After the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, this light comes on for about 2 seconds
and then turns off.

This light warns of a malfunction with the
Intelligent Key system.

If the light comes on while the engine is
stopped, it may be impossible to start the
engine. If the light comes on while the engine
is running, you can drive the vehicle. However in
these cases, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for repair as soon as possible.

Low tire pressure warning light

Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire
pressure of all tires except the spare.

The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.

After the ignition switch is pushed ON, this light
illuminates for about 1 second and turns off.

Low tire pressure warning:

If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.

A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning also
appears in the vehicle information display.

When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. The low tire pressure warning
light does not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to
the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.

The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning appears

each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure warning
light remains illuminated.

For additional information, see “Vehicle informa-
tion display” (P.2-18), “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” (P.5-3) and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.6-3).

TPMS malfunction:

If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is
pushed ON. The light will remain on after the 1
minute. Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does
not appear if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.

For additional information, see “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-3).

WARNING

If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed ON, have
the vehicle checked as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-

vice.

If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with un-
der-inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while driv-
ing after adjusting the tire pressure,
a tire may be flat or the TPMS may
be malfunctioning. If you have a flat
tire, replace it with a spare tire (if so
equipped) or repair it with the tire
puncture repair kit (if so equipped)
as soon as possible. If no tire is flat
and all tires are properly inflated, it
is recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
