lock brake system (ABS) warning light” ear-
lier in this section.
WARNING

Your brake system may not be work-
ing properly if the warning light is on.
Driving could be dangerous. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle
towed because driving it could be
dangerous.

Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or a low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.

If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate that the charging system is not
functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the generator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, see a
NISSAN dealer immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the generator
belt is loose, broken or missing.
Door open warning light
This light comes on when any of the doors are
not closed securely while the ignition switch is
ON.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light blinks or comes on during normal driving,
pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine
immediatelyand call a NISSAN dealer or other
authorized repair shop.
The oil pressure warning light is not de-
signed to indicate a low oil level. Use the
dipstick to check the oil level.See “Engineoil” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Turn off the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so.

after the Intelligent Key is brought inside the
vehicle.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel in the tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the fuel gauge reaches E.
There will be a small reserve of fuel re-
maining in the tank when the fuel gauge
needle reaches E.
Low tire pressure warning light
(if so equipped)
After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light
comes on for about 1 second and then turns off.
This light warns of low tire pressure.
NISSAN’s low tire pressure warning system is a
tire pressure monitoring system. It monitors tire
pressure of all tires except the spare. When the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light is
lit, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire
information placard. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency andtire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability. Each tire, including
the spare, should be checked monthly when
cold and set to the recommended inflation pres-
sure as specified in the vehicle placard and
Owner’s Manual. The recommended inflation
pressure may also be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with a low tire
pressure (lower than 27 psi, 190 kPa), the light
will illuminate and the chime will sound for about
10 seconds. If you select the tire pressure in the
display, the FLAT TIRE warning message will be
displayed.
For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning system” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section and “Flat tire” in the “6. In case
of emergency” section. Also, you can check the
pressure of all 4 tires on the display screen. See
“Tire pressure information” in the “4. Display
screen, heater, air conditioner and audio sys-
tems” section.
WARNING

If the light does not come on with the
key switch turned ON, have the ve-
hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.

If the light comes on while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe locationand
stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to
the recommended COLD tire pres-
sure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the
light still comes on while driving after
adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may
be flat. If you have a flat tire, replace
it with a spare tire as soon as
possible.

Your vehicle has one or both types of security
systems, as follows:

Vehicle Security System (if so equipped)

NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light in the meter panel.VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so
equipped)The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system thatactivates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior
or exterior vehicle components in all situations.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle,
and always lock the vehicle when unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification markers,
and tracking systems, are available at auto sup-
ply stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various theft protection fea-
tures.
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if parts of the vehicle are
disturbed.
How to activate the vehicle security
system1. Close all windows.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
2.•Remove the key from the ignition switch.
•Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position or remove the mechanical key
from the ignition switch (Intelligent Key
equipped model)
