warning NISSAN FRONTIER 2023 Repair Manual

When pretensioner(s) activate, smoke is re-
leased and a loud noise may be heard. This
smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate a fire. Care should be taken not to
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly.
Af ter the pretensioner(s’) activation, load
limiters (if so equipped) allow the seat belt
to release webbing (if necessary) to reduce
forces against the chest.
The supplemental air bag warning light
is used to indicate malfunctions in the
pretensioner system. For additional infor-
mation, see "Supplemental air bag warning
light" (P. 1-90). If the operation of the supple-
mental air bag warning light indicates
there is a malfunction, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
When selling your vehicle, we request that
you inform the buyer about the pretensioner
system and guide the buyer to the appropri-
ate sections in this Owner's Manual.

placed as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for

and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner(s) must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner(s) should be re-
placed. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
However, the air bag module and pre-
tensioner(s) cannot be repaired.

air bag systems and the preten-
sioner system should be inspected if
there is any damage to the front end
or side portion of the vehicle. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

tems or scrap the vehicle, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer. Incorrect disposal procedures
could cause personal injury.

SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
This vehicle is equipped with a speedom-
eter and odometer. The speedometer is

METERS AND GAUGES
2-4Instruments and controls

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or
down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) af-
ter the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning light comes on when
the amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank before the gauge reg-
isters 0 (Empty).
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
• If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
Af ter a few driving trips. the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
af ter a few driving trips, have the ve-
hicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
•
For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-19).
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the vehicle
can be driven before refueling. The value is
calculated based on recent fuel economy,
the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank,
and the actual fuel consumption.
Changes in driving patterns or conditions
can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result,
the value displayed may differ from the ac-
tual distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the
fuel level in the tank is getting low, prior to
the fuel gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
• The DTE value af ter refill is estimated based on recent fuel economy and
amount of fuel added.
• If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the
display may not be updated.
• Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated
DTE value (city/highway driving, idle
time, remote start time, terrain, sea-
sonal weather, added vehicle weight,
added deflectors, roof racks, etc.).

Park warning light
(
model)
WARNING
• If the ATP light is on, this indicates
that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and
the transfer case is in N (Neutral).
• When parking, always make sure that
the 4WD shif t indicator light illumi-
nates and the parking brake is set.
Failure to engage the transfer posi-
tion in 2WD, 4H or 4LO could result in
the vehicle moving unexpectedly, re-
sulting in serious personal injury or
property damage.
• Shif t the 4WD switch into the 2WD, 4H
or 4LO position again to turn off the
ATP warning light when the shif t le-
ver is in the P (Park) position and the
ATP warning light is on. (Before shif t-
ing the 4WD switch into the 4LO posi-
tion, move the shif t lever into the N
(Neutral) position once, shif t the shif t
lever into P (Park) again and make
sure the ATP warning light is off.) If the 4WD mode indicator is off or the ATP
warning light is on, this indicates that the
automatic transmission P (Park) position
will not function and could result in the ve-
hicle moving unexpectedly, causing seri-
ous personal injury or property damage.
Always set the parking brake. For additional
information, see “Using 4–Wheel Drive
(4WD) (P. 5-109).
This light indicates that the automatic
transmission parking function is not en-
gaged. If the transfer control is not secured
in any drive position while the shif t lever is
