warning light NISSAN 370Z 2009 User Guide

CAUTION

The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow.

Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor recep-
tion of the signals from the tire pres-
sure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. Some examples are:

Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.

If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle.

If a computer (or similar equipment) or a
DC/AC converter is being used in or near the
vehicle.FCC Notice:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry
Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device

AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER

WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driv-
ing under the following conditions:

When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed.

In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies
in speed.

On winding or hilly roads.

On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.).

In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CAUTION
On manual transmission models, do not
shift into N (Neutral) without depressing
the clutch pedal when the cruise control
is set. Should this occur, depress the
clutch pedal and turn the main switch
off immediately. Failure to do so maycause engine damage.
PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
cancels automatically. The SET indicator light
on the meter panel then blinks to warn the
driver.

If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.

If the SET indicator light blinks, turn the
cruise control MAIN (ON⋅OFF) switch off and
have the system checked by a NISSAN
dealer.

The SET indicator light may blink when the
cruise control MAIN switch is turned on while
pushing the RES/ACCEL, COAST/SET, or
CANCEL switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, perform the preceding steps
in the order indicated.

WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xe-
non headlights replaced at a NISSAN
dealer. For additional information, see
“Headlight and turn signal switch” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion.
CAUTION
Use the same number and wattage as
originally installed:
Bulb no. (Wattage)
D2S (35W) - Xenon low/high-beam
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not
a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, contact a NISSAN dealer.
