WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

If any of the following conditions occur, the air
bag and/or pretensioner systems needs servi-
cing.
.The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
these services.
Unless checked and repaired, the supplemental
restraint system (air bag system) and/or the
pretensioners may not function properly.
For additional information, see “Supplemental
restraint system” (P.1-52) .
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag
systems and/or pretensioner systems
will not operate in an accident. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others, have
your vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning
light illuminates and then turns off.
The light will blink when the VDC system or the
traction control system is operating, thus alerting
the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction
limits. The road surface may be slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates when
the VDC system is turned on, this light alerts the
driver to the fact that the VDC system’s fail-safe
mode is operating, for example the VDC or hill
start assist system may not be functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service. If a malfunction occurs in the
system, the VDC system function will be
canceled but the vehicle is still driveable. For
additional information, see “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” (P.5-138) .
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Automatic Transmission (AT) posi-
tion indicator light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the indicator shows the shift lever
position.
In the manual shift mode, when the transmission
does not shift to the selected gear due to a
transmission protection mode, the AT position
indicator light will blink and a buzzer will sound.
See “Automatic transmission” (P.5-18) for
further details.
Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) ON
indicator light (green; if so equipped)
The light comes on in green when the Blind Spot
Intervention (BSI) system is turned on. The light
turns off when the system is turned off.
NOTE:
This light is common with the BSW/BSI
system warning light (orange) . (See “Blind
Spot Warning (BSW)/Blind Spot Interven-
tion (BSI) system warning light” (P.2-12) .)
For more details, see “Blind Spot Intervention
Š
(BSI)” (P.5-43) .
Instruments and controls2-17

2-20Instruments and controls
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) off
indicator light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) off indicator
light illuminates and then turns off.
The light comes on when the VDC off switch is
pushed to OFF. This indicates that the VDC
system is not operating.
When the 4L position is selected with the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) shift switch, the VDC
system is disabled and the VDC off indicator
light illuminates. (4WD models)
For additional information, see “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” (P.5-138) .
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chime
A chime will sound if the driver side door is
opened while the ignition switch is placed in the
ACC position. Make sure the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position, and take the
Intelligent Key with you when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
A chime will sound when the driver side door is
opened with the light switch in theorposition and the ignition switch in the ACC, OFF
or LOCK position.
Turn the light switch off when you leave the
vehicle.
Parking brake reminder chime
The chime will sound if the vehicle is driven at
more than 4 MPH (7 km/h) with the parking
brake applied. Stop the vehicle and release the
parking brake.
Brake pad wear warning
The 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. This scraping sound will
first occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake pad,
the sound will always be heard even if the brake
pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the warning
sound is heard.

VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY

2-48Instruments and controls
SIC4455
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (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 depressed 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 OFF
switch. The
indicator will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-138) .)
CAUTION
. Use power outlet with the engine
running to avoid discharging the
vehicle battery.
. Avoid using power outlet when the
air conditioner, headlights or rear
window defroster is on.
. Before inserting or disconnecting a
plug, be sure the electrical acces-
sory being used is turned OFF.
. When not in use, be sure to close
the cap. Do not allow water or any
liquid to contact the outlet.
