“Supplemental Restraint System (air bag system)”
in the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint system” section.
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the handbrake and the
footbrake systems.
Handbrake indicator:
The light comes on when the handbrake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning:
The light warns of a low brake fluid level in the brake
power assist unit. If the light comes on while the
engine is running and the handbrake is not applied,
stop the vehicle and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as
much as necessary. See “Brake and clutch fluid”
in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.
WARNING
If the level is below the MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the brake sys-
tem has been checked at a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct:
Have the warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
WARNING
•Driving your vehicle could be dangerous.
Therefore have it towed to the nearest
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•Pressing the brake pedal with the engine
stopped and/or low brake fluid level could in-
crease your stopping distance and require
greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate that the charging system is malfunc-
tioning. Turn the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or if the light
remains on, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the belt is loose, bro-
ken or missing.
Door open warning light
This light comes on when any of the doors are not
closed securely while the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
Engine coolant temperature
warning light
The engine coolant temperature varies with the out-
side air temperature and driving condition.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-tion, the engine coolant temperature warning light
illuminates for a few seconds and then goes off.
This means the system is operational.
The engine coolant temperature warning light illumi-
nates when the engine coolant temperature reaches
an excessively high temperature of approximately
105 °C (221 °F).
CAUTION
•If the engine coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible and contact a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
•When towing a trailer or driving uphill, reduce
the vehicle speed as soon as safely possible
to decrease the engine coolant temperature.
•If the engine overheats, continued operation
of the vehicle may seriously damage the en-
gine. See “Engine overheat” in the “6. In case
of emergency” section for immediate action
required.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine
is hot. Otherwise, there is a danger of being
scalded by the coolant that is likely to erupt from
the filler.
Engine oil pressure warning light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light flickers, comes on during normal driving, or
stays on once the engine is started, pull off the road

when you leave the vehicle. See “Headlight and turn
signal switch” later in this section for further details
on the lighting operation.
Key reminder chime
The chime will sound if the driver’s side door is
opened while the key is left in the ignition switch and
an attempt is made to set the power door lock switch
to the LOCK position.
The chime will sound if the driver’s door is opened
while the Intelligent Key (where fitted) is left inside
the vehicle and the ignition knob is not in the LOCK
position.
Remove the key or Intelligent Key and take it with
you when leaving the vehicle.
Handbrake reminder buzzer
(where fitted)
The buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven and the
handbrake has not previously been released.
First release the handbrake, then start driving.
See “Handbrake lever” in the “3. Pre-driving checks
and adjustments” section for further operating infor-
mation.
Trailer direction indicator buzzer
The electrical system of the vehicle will detect an
additional electrical load of the trailer lighting when
towing a trailer and the turn signal switch is used.
As a result, the direction indicator tone will be differ-
entFor additional information, see “Trailer towing” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.

WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer fluid may
freeze on the windscreen and obscure your vi-
sion. Warm the windscreen with the defroster
before you wash it.
CAUTION
•Do not open/release the bonnet when the
front wiper arms are raised from their original
position.
•Do not operate the washer continuously for
more than 15 seconds.

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
•Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
•Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
•Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
•Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
•Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.
