WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

CHECKING LIGHTS
With all doors closed, apply the parking brake,
fasten the seat belts and place the ignition
switch in the ON position without starting the
engine. The following lights (if so equipped) will
come on:
,or,,,,,
The following lights (if so equipped) will come
on briefly and then go off:
,or,,,,,,,,
If any light does not come on or operates in a
way other than described, it may indicate a
burned-out bulb and/or a system malfunction. It
is recommended you have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also dis-
played on the vehicle information display be-
tween the speedometer and tachometer. (See
“Vehicle information display” (P.2-20) .)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates
the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-136) .)
Automatic Transmission (AT) check
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds. If the
light comes on at any other time, it may indicate
the transmission is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer to
check and repair the transmission.
Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic Trans-
mission (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the
light illuminates while driving, reduce the vehicle
speed as soon as safely possible until the light
turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the
AT oil temperature warning light is on
may damage the AT.
Automatic Transmission (AT) park
warning light (4WD models)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) parking function is not engaged. If the
transfer control is not secured in any driving
position while the AT shift lever is in the “P”
(Park) position, the transmission will disengage
and the wheels will not lock.
If the AT park warning light illuminates
with the shift lever in the P (Park) position,
shift the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shift
switch to the AUTO, 4H or 4L position
again with the shift lever in the N (Neutral)

WARNING
.Never install the rear bumper cover
while the engine is running. The
exhaust gas could heat the rear
bumper cover and this may cause a
fire.
. Never drive with the rear bumper
cover left in place. There is a risk
that the liftgate will not close cor-
rectly, and that carbon monoxide
may enter the cabin causing serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
.Failure to follow the instructions
below could result in damage to
the rear bumper cover.
— Do not close the liftgate with the
rear bumper cover installed.
— Do not strike or apply excessive force to the rear bumper cover.
— Keep the rear bumper cover away from heat or fire. — To clean the rear bumper cover,
use a soft cloth, dampened with
a mild solution of neutral deter-
gent. Never use benzine, thinner
or any similar chemical.
— Remove any solvent such as oil or gasoline spilled on the sur-
face of the rear bumper cover as
soon as possible.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
. Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle
while it is in motion and before
closing the windows. Use the win-
dow lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
. To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of
the vehicle and or its systems,
including entrapment in windows
or inadvertent door lock activation,
do not leave children, people who
require the assistance of others or
pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside
a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for about 45
seconds after the ignition switch is pushed to
the OFF position. If the driver’s or front
passenger’s door is opened during this period

WINDOWS

1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is on you.
2. Depress the brake pedal.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ONposition.
For additional information about the remote
engine start function, see “Remote engine start”
(P.3-19) .ENGINE PROTECTION MODE
The engine has an engine protection mode to
reduce the chance of damage if the coolant
temperature becomes too high (for example,
when climbing steep grades in high temperature
with heavy loads, such as when towing a trailer) .
When the engine temperature reaches a certain
level:
. The engine coolant temperature gauge will
move toward the H position.
. Engine power may be reduced.
. The air conditioning cooling function may be
automatically turned OFF for a short time
(the blower will continue to operate) .
Engine power and, under some conditions,
vehicle speed will decrease. Vehicle speed can
be controlled with the accelerator pedal, but the
vehicle may not accelerate at the desired speed.
The transmission will downshift or upshift as it
reaches prescribed shift points. You can also
shift manually.
As driving conditions change and engine cool-
ant temperature is reduced, vehicle speed can
be increased using the accelerator pedal, and
air conditioning cooling function will automati-
cally be turned back ON. If:
1. The engine coolant temperature is not
reduced.
2. The air conditioning cooling function does not turn back ON.
3. The engine oil pressure warning light
illuminates or engine coolant temperature
gauge does not return to the normal range
from the H position, this may indicate a
malfunction. Move the vehicle off the road to
a safe area and allow the engine to cool. If
after checking the oil and coolant, the
remains on or engine coolant temperature
does not return to the normal range, do not
continue to drive. It is recommended you
contact a NISSAN dealer.
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may
also come ON. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed, unless it remains on, but have it
inspected soon. It is recommended you contact
a NISSAN dealer for this service. See “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders”
(P.2-10) .
WARNING
Overheating can result in reduced en-
gine power and vehicle speed. The
Starting and driving5-17
DRIVING THE VEHICLE

5-122Starting and driving
.Recirculating the cool air in the cabinwhen the A/C is on reduces cooling load.
4. Drive at economical speeds and distances.
.Observing the speed limit and not ex- ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
.Maintaining a safe following distancebehind other vehicles reduces unneces-
sary braking.
.Safely monitoring traffic to anticipatechanges in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
.Select a gear range suitable to road conditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed.
.Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving on
flat terrains.
6. Plan for the shortest route.
.Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time.
7. Avoid idling.
.Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds saves fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.
.Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting.
9. Winter warm up.
.Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
.Vehicles typically need no more than 30seconds of idling at start-up to effectively
circulate the engine oil before driving.
.Your vehicle will reach its ideal operatingtemperature more quickly while driving
versus idling.
10. Keeping your vehicle cool.
.Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever possible.
.When entering a hot vehicle, opening thewindows will help to reduce the inside
temperature faster, resulting in reduced
demand on your A/C system. .
Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended scheduled main-
tenance.
. Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
. Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
(See “Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tion” (P.10-6) .)
