mechanism. If this warning appears, lightly
turn the steering wheel right and lef t to
realign the steering wheel position with the
locking mechanism, and then push the ig-
nition switch to ON. This warning will re-
main on until the steering lock is realigned
with the locking mechanism and the igni-
tion switch has been pressed to ON, or until
15 seconds has elapsed. If the warning con-
tinues to appear even af ter realignment,
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
The Master warning light will remain illumi-
nated until the Electrical steering lock re-
lease warning is cleared.
Shif t to Park
This warning appears when the ignition
switch is in the ACC or OFF position and the
shif t lever is not in the P (Park) position. Also,
a chime sounds when the ignition switch is
in the ACC or OFF position.
If this warning appears, move the shif t lever
to the P (Park) position and start the engine.
Shipping Mode On Push Storage Fuse
This warning may appear if the extended
storage switch is not pushed in. When this
warning appears, push in the extended
storage switch to turn off the warning. For
additional information, see “Extended stor-
age switch” (P. 2-60).
SPORT
This indicator appears when sport mode is
activated. The sport mode screen will re-
main on for about 6 seconds unless the
driver dismisses the notification early using
the vehicle information display switches.
For additional information, see “Sport
mode” (P. 5-22).
Tire
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance is reached for replacing tires.
You can set or reset the distance for replac-
ing tires.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional in-
formation, see “Changing wheels and
tires” (P. 8-34). Many factors including tireinflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driv-
ing distance does not mean your tires will
last that long. Use the tire replacement
indicator as a guide only and always per-
form regular tire checks. Failure to per-
form 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.
Tire Pressure Low - Add Air
This warning appears when the low tire
pressure warning light in the meter illumi-
nates and low tire pressure is detected. The
warning appears each time the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position as long
as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated. If this warning appears,
stop the vehicle and adjust the tire pres-
sures of all four tires to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. For additional
information, see “Low tire pressure warning
light” (P. 2-12) and “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” (P. 5-5).

be followed.For additional information re-
garding brake inspections, see to the ap-
propriate maintenance schedule informa-
tion in the “Maintenance and schedules”

If any electrical equipment does not oper-
ate, check for an open fuse.
Fuses are used in the passenger and en-
gine compartment. Spare fuses are pro-
vided and can be found in the passenger
compartment fuse box.
When installing a fuse make sure the fuse is
installed in the fuse box securely.
