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
displayed on the vehicle information dis-
play between the speedometer and tach-
ometer. (See “Vehicle information display”
(P.2-20).)
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS (red)
Automatic Transmission (AT)
oil temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Transmission (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
Transmission (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) position.
(See “NISSAN all-
mode 4WD®” (P.5-124).)
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake
fluid level. If the light comes on while the
engine is running with the parking brake
not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid is low, add fluid and have the
system checked. It is recommended
you have this service performed by a
NISSAN dealer. (See “Brake fluid” (P.8-
9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is
recommended you have this service
performed by a NISSAN dealer.

Low hydraulic pressure warning indica-
tor:
If the brake warning light illuminates
when the engine is running, or while
driving with the parking brake is released,
check the brake fluid level. If the brake
fluid level is sufficient, it may indicate low
hydraulic pressure in the brake booster. It
is recommended that you have the brake
system checked by a NISSAN dealer
promptly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake
system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-15).)
WARNING
.Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum or MIN mark on the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
until the brake system has been
checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the charge warning light illumi-
nates and then turns off.
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, have your vehicle
serviced immediately. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alter-
nator belt is loose, broken or miss-
ing.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pres-
sure. If the light flickers or comes on
during normal driving, pull off the road in
a safe area, stop the engine immediately
and call a NISSAN dealer or other author-
ized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is
not designed to indicate a low oil level.
Use the dipstick to check the oil level.
(See “Engine oil” (P.8-6).)
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine
oil pressure warning light on could
cause serious damage to the engine
almost immediately. Such damage is
not covered by warranty. Turn off the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so.

AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Door lock warning chime
When the chime sounds, be sure to check
both the vehicle and the Intelligent Key.
(See “Troubleshooting guide” (P.3-13).)
Light reminder chime
A chime will sound when the driver side
door is opened with the headlight switch
in the
orposition and the ignition
switch in the ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
Turn the headlight switch to the OFF (if so
equipped) or the AUTO position 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 vehi-
cle and release the parking brake.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. 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.

the Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
can no longer function reliably.
Once the interior temperature has
reached normal levels, the warning
should disappear.
If the warning continues to display, have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

Autolight system (Type B) (if so
equipped)
The autolight system allows the head-
lights to be set so they turn on and off
automatically.
To set the autolight system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the AUTO position
orposition.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the
position. The autolight system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark
and turn off the headlights when it is
light.
If the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position when the parking brake is ap-
plied, the headlights remain off.
With the
position selected, the head-
lights turn off when the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position, the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, or the parking
brake is applied. (The front parking, tail,
license plate, and instrument lights are
on.)
How to turn off all lights:
With the AUTO position selected, all lights
turn off when the engine is restarted after
the parking brake is applied.
NOTE:
When driving at night, the headlights
remain on and cannot be turned off.
When the vehicle is stopped, the head-
lights can be turned off when the head-
light switch is in the
position.
With the AUTO position selected (head-
lights are on), the headlights will remain
on for 5 minutes when the ignition switch
is placed in the OFF position and one of
the doors is opened.
