Reminder: Turn OFF headlights
This warning appears when the headlights are

Place the headlight switch in the OFF or AUTO
position. For additional information, refer to
“Headlight and turn signal switch” in this section.
Chassis Control System Error: See Own-
er’s Manual (if so equipped)
This warning appears if the Integrated Dynamics-
control module detects an error in the Active
Trace Control, Active Engine Brake, or the Active
Ride Control systems. Have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer. For additional information,
refer to “Integrated Dynamic-control Module, Ac-
tive Trace Control, Active Engine Brake, or the
Active Ride Control” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.
Oil and Filter
This indicator appears when the customer set
distance comes for changing the engine oil and
filter. You can set or reset the distance for check-
ing or replacing these items. For scheduled main-
tenance items and intervals, see a “NISSAN Ser-
vice and Maintenance Guide.”Tire
This indicator appears when the customer set
distance is reached for replacing tires. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing tires.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section of this manual. Many fac-
tors including tire inflation, alignment,
driving habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement indi-
cator for a certain driving distance does
not mean your tires will last that long. Use
the tire replacement indicator as a guide
only and always perform regular tire
checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks
could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to a
collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
Other
This indicator appears when the customer set
distance is reached for checking or replacing maintenance items other than the engine oil, oil
filter and tires. Other maintenance items can in-
clude such things as air filter or tire rotation. The
distance for checking or replacing the items can
be set or reset.

cruise control or go back to the set speed. If
cruise control is on and cancelled, the speed will
be displayed to show the speed the vehicle will
return to if the resume button his activated.

with an oil filter wrench by turning it counter-
clockwise. Then remove the oil filter by turn-
ing it by hand.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself. The engine
oil may be hot.
5. Wipe the engine oil filter sealing surface with a clean rag.
CAUTION
●Be sure to remove any old gasket
material remaining on the sealing
surface of the engine. Failure to do
so could lead to an oil leak and en-
gine damage.
● The dipstick must be inserted in
place to prevent oil spillage from the
dipstick hole when filling the engine
with oil. 6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with clean
engine oil.
7. Screw on the oil filter until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten an additional 2/3 turn.
8. Start the engine and check for leakage around the oil filter. Correct as required.
9. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes. Check the oil level. Add engine
oil if necessary.
CAUTION
●NISSAN recommends using Genuine
NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 ONLY in
NISSAN CVTs. Do not mix with other
fluids.
● Do not use Automatic Transmission
Fluid (ATF) or Manual transmission
fluid in a NISSAN CVT, as it may damage
the CVT. Damage caused by the use of
fluids other than as recommended is
not covered under NISSAN’s New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.
● Using fluids that are not equivalent to
Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 may
also damage the CVT. Damage caused
by the use of fluids other than as recom-
mended is not covered under NISSAN’s
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
When checking or replacement of CVT fluid is
