Nissan Versa Note (2019 year). Instruction

After a few driving trips, the

light

should turn off if no other potential emis-
sion control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance
test. For additional information, refer to
“Readiness

for

Inspection/Maintenance

(I/M) test” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.

Operation

The MIL will come on in one of two ways:

∙ MIL on steady — An emission control

system malfunction has been de-
tected. Check the fuel-filler cap. If the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message is
displayed in the odometer, and the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The

light should turn off

after a few driving trips. If the

light

does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. You do not need
to have your vehicle towed to the
dealer.

∙ MIL blinking — An engine misfire has

been detected which may damage the
emission control system. To reduce or
avoid emission control system dam-
age:

– do

not

drive

speeds

above

45 mph (72 km/h);

– avoid hard acceleration or decelera-

tion;

– avoid steep uphill grades;

– if possible, reduce the amount of

cargo being hauled.

The MIL may stop blinking and come on
steady. Have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. 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.

Overdrive OFF indicator

light (if so equipped)

The overdrive OFF indicator light illumi-
nates when the overdrive OFF mode is se-
lected.

For additional information, refer to “Driving
the vehicle” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.

Security indicator light (if

so equipped)

For vehicles without Intelligent Key: This
light blinks whenever the ignition switch is
placed in the LOCK, OFF or ACC position.

For vehicles with Intelligent Key: This light
blinks when the ignition switch is placed in
the LOCK position with the key removed
from the ignition switch.

The blinking security indicator light indi-
cates that the security systems equipped
on the vehicle are operational.

For additional information, refer to “Security
systems” in this section.

2-22

Instruments and controls

SET indicator light (if so

equipped)

This light comes on while the vehicle speed
is controlled by the cruise control system. If
the light blinks while the engine is running,
it may indicate the cruise control system is
not functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

For additional information, refer to “Cruise
control” in the “Starting and driving” section
of this manual.

Side light and headlight

indicator light (green) (if so
equipped)

The side light and headlight indicator light
illuminates when the side light or headlight
position is selected. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Headlight and turn signal
switch” in this section.

Slip indicator light

This indicator will blink when the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system is operat-
ing, thus alerting that the vehicle is nearing
its traction limits. The road surface may be
slippery.

Turn signal/hazard

indicator lights

The appropriate light flashes when the turn
signal switch is activated.

NOTE:

In case of a turn signal light bulb mal-
function, the turn signal will flash at a
higher frequency when the turn signal
switch is activated.

Both lights flash when the hazard switch is
turned on.

For additional information, refer to “Lights”
in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.

Vehicle Dynamic Control

(VDC) OFF indicator light

This indicator light comes on when the
VDC OFF switch is pushed to off. This indi-
cates the VDC system is not operating.

Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine and the system will operate
normally. For additional information, refer
to “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system”
in the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.

The VDC light also comes on when you
place the ignition switch in the ON position.
The light will turn off after about 2 seconds
if the system is operational. If the light stays
on or comes on along with the

indi-

cator light while you are driving, have the
VDC system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
While the VDC system is operating, you
might feel a slight vibration or hear the sys-
tem working when starting the vehicle or
accelerating, but this is normal.

AUDIBLE REMINDERS

Brake pad wear warning

The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a disc brake pad requires

tion, whether or not the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Have the brakes checked as soon
as possible if the warning sound is heard.

Instruments and controls

If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedures:

1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po-

sition for approximately 5 seconds.

2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or

LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

4. Restart the engine while holding the

device (which may have caused the in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.

If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

CAUTION

∙ The battery could run down if the seat

heater is operated while the engine is
not running.

∙ Do not use the seat heater for ex-

tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.

∙ Do not put anything on the seat which

insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion or seat cover, etc. Otherwise,
the seat may become overheated.

∙ Do not place anything hard or heavy

on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in dam-
age to the heater.

∙ Any liquid spilled on the heated seat

should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.

∙ When cleaning the seat, never use

gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any
similar materials.

∙ If any malfunctions are found or the

heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

The front seats are warmed by built-in
heaters.

1. Start the engine.

2. Select the switch that corresponds to

the seat you wish to heat, the switches
are located on the center console.
Push the LO or HI position of the switch,
as desired. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate.

The heater is controlled by a thermo-

3. When the seat is warmed or before you

leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the
switch off.

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.

If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.

To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
