GUID-C54 1BCEC-61FA-45E0-814D-574E 47DD1F05
When theignition switchisin the ªONº position, the
electric powersteering warninglightilluminates. After
starting theengine, theelectric powersteering warning
light turns off.This indicates theelectric power
steering systemisoperational.
If the electric powersteering warninglightilluminates
while theengine isrunning, itmay indicate theelectric
power steering systemisnot functioning properlyand
may need servicing. Havetheelectric powersteering
system checked byaNISSAN dealer.
When theelectric powersteering warninglight

When theignition switchisin the ªONº position, the
engine oilpressure warninglightilluminates. After
starting theengine, theengine oilpressure warning
light turns off.This indicates thattheoilpressure
sensors inthe engine areoperational.
If the engine oilpressure warninglightilluminates while
the engine isrunning, itmay indicate thattheengine oil
pressure islow .
Stop thevehicle safelyassoon aspossible. Stopthe
engine immediately andcallaNISSAN dealer.
CAUTION:
. Running theengine withtheengine oil

cause serious damage tothe engine.
. The engine oilpressure warninglightisnot

. When xenon headlights areon,they produce
a high voltage. To prevent anelectric shock,
never attempt tomodify ordisassemble.
Always haveyourxenon headlights checked
and/or replaced ataNISSAN dealer.
. Xenon headlights provideconsiderably
more lightthanconventional headlights.If
they arenot correctly aimed,theymight

headlights adjustedcorrectly.
When thexenon headlights areinitially turnedon,their
brightness andcolor varyslightly .However, thecolor
and brightness willsoon stabilize.
The lifeofxenon headlights willbeshortened by

. Never leavechildren oradults whowould
normally requirethesupport ofothers alone
in the vehicle. Petsshould notbeleft alone
either. Theycould unknowingly activate
switches orcontrols andinadvertently be-
come involved inaserious accident and
injure themselves. Onhot, sunny days,
temperatures inaclosed vehicle could
quickly become highenough tocause se-
vere orpossibly fatalinjuries topeople or
animals.
. Donot use therecirculation modeforlong
periods asitmay cause theinterior airto
become staleandthewindows tofog up.
. Donot adjust theheating andaircondition-
ing controls whiledriving sothat fullatten-
tion may begiven tovehicle operation.
The heater andairconditioner operatewhenthe
engine isrunning. Theairblower willoperate evenif
the engine isturned offand theignition switchisin the

NO TE:
. Odors frominside andoutside thevehicle
can build upinthe airconditioner unit.Odor
can enter thepassenger compartment
through thevents.
. When parking, setthe heater andaircondi-
tioner controls toturn offairrecirculation to
allow freshairinto thepassenger compart-

. The VDC system isnot asubstitute forwinter
tires ortire chains onasnow covered road.
The Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)system uses
various sensors tomonitor driverinputs andvehicle
motion. Undercertain drivingconditions, theVDC
system helpstoperform thefollowing functions.
. Controls brakepressure toreduce wheelslipon
one slipping drivewheel sopower istransferred to
a non slipping drivewheel onthe same axle.
. Controls brakepressure andengine outputto
reduce drivewheel slipbased onvehicle speed
(traction controlfunction) .
. Controls brakepressure atindividual wheelsand

the vehicle inthe following conditions:
Ð understeer (vehicletendstonot follow the
steered pathdespite increased steeringinput)
Ð oversteer (vehicletendstospin duetocertain
road ordriving conditions) .
The VDC system canhelp thedriver tomaintain control
of the vehicle, butitcannot prevent lossofvehicle
control inall driving situations.
When theVDC system operates, theVDC warning

following:
. The road maybeslippery orthe system may
determine someaction isrequired tohelp the
vehicle onthe steered path. .
You may feelapulsation inthe brake pedaland
hear anoise orvibration fromunder thehood. This
is normal andindicates thattheVDC system is
working properly.
. Adjust yourspeed anddriving tothe road

system automatically turnsoff.
The VDC OFFswitch isused toturn offthe VDC
system. TheVDC offindicator light
illuminates to
indicate theVDC system isoff. When theVDC OFF
switch isused toturn offthe system, theVDC system
still operates toprevent onedrive wheel fromslipping

The VDC warning light
flashes ifthis occurs. All

Always moveslowly.
. Read andunderstand thelimitations ofthe
sonar (parking sensor)systemascontained
in this section. Inclement weathermayaffect
the function ofthe sonar (parking sensor)
system; thismay include reduced perfor-
mance orafalse activation.
. This system isnot designed toprevent
contact withsmall ormoving objects.
. The system isdesigned asan aid tothe
driver indetecting largestationary objectsto
help avoid damaging thevehicle. Thesystem
will notdetect smallobjects belowthe
bumper, andmay notdetect objects close
to the bumper oron the ground.
. Ifyour vehicle sustains damagetothe
bumper fascia,leaving itmisaligned orbent,
the sensing zonemaybealtered causing inaccurate
measurement ofobstacles or
false alarms.
CAUTION:
Keep theinterior ofthe vehicle asquiet as
possible tohear thetone clearly.
When theignition switchisin the ªONº position, the
sonar (parking sensor)systemisoperational.
The sonar (parking sensor)systemsounds atone to
warn thedriver ofobstacles nearthebumper. The
system detects rearobstacles whentheshift lever isin

objects atspeeds above10km/h (6MPH) andmay
not detect certain angular ormoving objects.
The sonar (parking sensor)systemdetects obstacles
up to1m (3.3 ft)from thebumper withadecreased
coverage areaatthe outer corners ofthe bumper,
(refer tothe illustration forapproximate zonecoverage
areas) .As you move closer tothe obstacle, therate of
the tone increases. Whentheobstacle isless than 30
cm (11.8 in)away ,the tone willsound continuously .
K eep thesonar sensors (located onthe bumper fascia)
free from snow ,ice and large accumulations ofdirt (do not
clean thesensors withsharp objects) .If the

The ABS includes electronic sensors,electricpumps,
hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. Thecomputer has
a built-in diagnostic featurethattests thesystem each
time youstart theengine andmove thevehicle atalow
speed inforward orreverse. Whentheself-test
occurs, youmay hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feela
pulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisisnormal anddoes
not indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesa
malfunction, itswitches theABS offand illuminates the
ABS warning lightonthe instrument panel.Thebrake
system thenoperates normally,but without anti-lock
assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringtheself-test
or while driving, havethevehicle checked bya
NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
GUID-731 7FE84-7D F1-491B-AE 03-A1D3516 5D3DC
The ABS operates atspeeds above5to 10 km/h (3to
6 MPH) .The speed variesaccording toroad condi-
tions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels are
close tolocking up,the actuator rapidlyapplies and
releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from
under thehood orfeel avibration fromtheactuator
when itis operating. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsation
may indicate thatroad conditions arehazardous and
extra careisrequired whiledriving.
