Anti-lock brake
system (ABS)
warning light
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the light will illuminate. The light will turn
off after about 2 seconds if the system is
operational.
If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate that the anti-lock brake system is
not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the
anti-lock function will cease but the ordinary
brakes will continue to operate normally. See
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” in the “5. Start-
ing and driving” section for further details.If the light comes on while you are driving,
contact a NISSAN dealer for repair.
or
Brake 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:
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. Add brake fluid as
necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the “8. Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer. Avoid high speed driving and abrupt
braking.

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.

SYSTEMThe NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
key.If the engine fails to start using the registered
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System key, it may
be due to interference caused by another
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an
automated toll road device or automated pay-
ment device on the key ring. Restart the engine
using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.

XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. Always have
your xenon headlights replaced at a
NISSAN dealer.
Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have
the headlights adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights
is not reduced.
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above
signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.
