Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes
on steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light 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 3 US gallons
(14 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential
emission control system malfunction ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-
38).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways: .
Malfunction indicator light on steady
— An emission control system mal-
function has been detected. Check
the fuel-filler cap if the Loose Fuel
Cap warning appears in the vehicle
information display. If the fuel-filler
cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive
the vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle in-
spected. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service. You
do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking —
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission
control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
2) Avoid hard acceleration or decel- eration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected. It is re- commended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. 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, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control sys-
tem.
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the master warning light illumi-
nates when a warning message appears
in the vehicle information display.
See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-20).
Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)
system warning light
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. It
turns off after the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the RAB sys-
tem is turned off in the vehicle informa-
tion display.

If the light illuminates when the RAB
system is on, it may indicate that the
system is unavailable. (See “Rear Auto-
matic Braking (RAB)” (P.5-116).)
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.5-144).
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 operat-
ing, 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 recom-
mended 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.5-144).
