Malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator lamp may also come
on steady if the fuel filler cap is loose or missing,
or if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 14 liters
(3 US gallons, 2.5 Imp gallons) of fuel in the fuel
tank.
After a few driving trips, the
lamp should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator lamp 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. See
“Readiness for inspection/maintenance (I/M)
test” in the “9. Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on in
one of two ways:

Malfunction indicator lamp on steady — An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Turn the ignition key to OFF
and check the fuel filler cap. If the fuel filler
cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the vehicle. The
lamp should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the
lamp does not turn off after
a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected
by a NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.

Malfunction indicator lamp blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system. To re-
duce or avoid emission control system dam-
age:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 72 km/h (45
MPH).
b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades.
d) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator lamp may stop
blinking and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSANdealer. 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 (AT
models)
This light comes on when the overdrive function
is OFF.
The automatic transmission overdrive function is
controlled by the overdrive switch.
See “Driving the vehicle” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.

Slip indicator light (if so
equipped)
This indicator will blink when the VDC system or
the traction control system is operating, thus
alerting the driver to the fact that the road
surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing its
traction limits.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
The light will blink on for a few seconds after the
VDC system stops limiting wheel spin.
The slip indicator light also comes on when you
turn the ignition key to ON. The light will turn off
after about 1 second if the system is operational.
If the light does not come on or go off, have the
traction control system checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
Turn signal/hazard indicator
lights
The light flashes when the turn signal switch
lever or hazard switch is turned on.
Vehicle dynamic control (VDC)
off indicator light (if so
equipped)
After turning the ignition key to the ON position,
the light will illuminate and then turn off. This
indicates the vehicle dynamic control (VDC)
system is operational.
The light comes on when the vehicle dynamic
control (VDC) off switch is pushed to OFF. This
indicates the vehicle dynamic control system
and traction control system are not operating.
When the vehicle dynamic control off indicator
light and slip indicator light come on with the
vehicle dynamic control system turned on, this
light alerts the driver to the fact that the vehicle
dynamic control system’s fail-safe mode is op-
erating, that is the system may not be functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer. If an abnormality occurs in the
system, the vehicle dynamic control system
function will be canceled but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Ve-
hicle dynamic control (VDC) system” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section of this manual.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chimeThe chime will sound if the driver’s side door is
opened while the key is left in the ignition switch
(ignition switch is turned to OFF or ACC).
Remove the key and take it with you when
leaving the vehicle.Light reminder chimeThe chime will sound when the driver’s door is
opened with the headlight switch on unless the
ignition key is in the ON position.
Make sure to turn the light switch off when you
leave the vehicle.Brake pad wear warningThe disc brake pads have audible wear warn-
ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it
will make a high pitched scraping sound when
the vehicle is in motion whether or not the brake
pedal is depressed. Have the brakes checked as
soon as possible if the warning sound is heard.

4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light
A
comes on. The SECURITY indicator light
glows for about 30 seconds and then blinks.
The system is now activated. If, during this 30
second time period, the door is unlocked by
the key or the keyfob, or the ignition key is
turned to ACC or ON, the system will not
activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood and back door locked
and ignition key off. Turn the ignition key
to ACC to turn the system off.
Vehicle security system activationThe security system will give the following alarm:

The hazard indicators flash and the horn
sounds intermittently.

The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 25 seconds, and this will be
repeated three times. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by unlocking
a door with the key, or by pushing the
UNLOCK button on the keyfob.
The alarm is activated by:

Opening the door (including the back door)
without using the key or keyfob.
Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarmThe alarm will stop only by unlocking a door with
the key, or by pushing the UNLOCK button on
keyfob. The alarm will not stop if the ignition key
is turned to ACC or ON.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by a
NISSAN dealer.NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEMThe NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.
If the engine does not start using the registered
key (for example, when interference is caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring), restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
key on a separate key ring to avoid interfer-
ence from other devices.
This device complies with RSS-210 of In-
dustry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions;
(1) This device may not cause harmful in-
terference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired opera-
tion of the device.

trates may permanently stain the
grille if spilled while filling the win-
dow washer reservoir tank.

Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates
with water to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended levels before pouring thefluid into the window washer reser-
voir tank. Do not use the window
washer reservoir tank to mix the
