For an overview see “Instrument and control
layout” in the “0. Illustrated table of contents”
section and see “Meters and gauges” in the “0. Il-
lustrated table of contents” section.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed (km/h
or MPH). Scale resolution on the meter varies with
models.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge is active when the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turn-
ing, acceleration, or when going up– or downhill.
The
csymbol indicates that the fuel filler lid is
located on the right side of the vehicle.
NOTE
A low fuel warning comes on in the vehicle infor- mation display and the Low fuel indicator light
comes on in the combination meter when the
fuel level is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient. There should be a small reserve of
fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle
reaches the empty level.
CAUTION
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers
empty.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (r/min).
Do not rev the engine
into the red zone
j1.
Scale resolution on the meter varies with models.
CAUTION
When the engine speed approaches the red zone,
shift to a higher gear. Operating the engine in the
red zone may cause serious engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature should remain
within the normal range
j2.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the out-
side air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge exceeds the normal range, stop as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the vehicle may
seriously damage the engine see “Engine
overheat” in the “6. In case of emergency” sec-
tion for immediate action.
WARNING
Allow the engine to cool down before removing
the radiator cap to avoid the danger of being
scalded.NIC1561

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate that the anti-lock portion of the braking
system is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the handbrake and the
footbrake systems.
Handbrake indicator:
The light comes on when the handbrake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning:
The light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the light
comes on while the engine is running with the hand-
brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform the
following procedure:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid asnecessary. See “Brake and clutch fluid” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
WARNING
If the level is below the MIN (minimum) mark
on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive until
the brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct: Have the warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
WARNING
Driving your vehicle could be dangerous. Have
it towed to the nearest NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
Depressing the brake pedal with the engine
stopped could increase your stopping dis-
tance and require greater pedal travel dis-
tance and effort.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate that the charging system is not func-
tioning properly. Turn the engine off and check the
alternator belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing
or if the light remains on, see a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light (where fitted)
WARNING
Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust
gases.
Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags,
as they may burn easily.
If the vehicle continues to be driven at a low
speed with the DPF warning light illuminated,
the fail-safe will limit engine revolutions and/
or torque. In this case, the engine oil must be
replaced and the process of burning accumu-
lated particulate matter must be carried out
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Service regeneration is a maintenance item
and is not covered by the NISSAN warranty.
Use engine oil for DPF equipped models. For
details, see “Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
CAUTION
The DPF becomes extremely hot after burning
particulate matter.
M9R engine only:
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning light
illuminates for a few seconds and then goes out.
This indicates that the system is operational.
All diesel engines:
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Some diesel engine models are fitted with a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF), which is a device that re-
moves carbon (soot) from the exhaust gas. To oper-
ate effectively, the DPF system must routinely con-
duct a cleaning operation, called regeneration, that

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than passenger
cars to make them capable of performing in a wide
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them a higher centre of gravity than ordi-
nary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance
is a better view of the road, allowing you to antici-
pate problems. However, they are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional two-
wheel drive (2WD) vehicles any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. If possible, avoid sharp
turns or abrupt manoeuvres, particularly at high
speeds. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover. In a rollover accident an
unbelted person is significantly more likely to be
injured than a person who is wearing a seat belt.NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The three-way catalyst is an emission control device
installed in the exhaust system. In the converter,
exhaust gases are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.
CAUTION
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system are
very hot. While the engine is running, keep
people or flammable materials away from the
exhaust pipe.
Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste pa-
per or rags, as they may burn easily.
When parking, ensure that people or flam-
mable materials are kept away from the ex-
haust pipe.
TO HELP PREVENT DAMAGE
CAUTION
Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY, specifically
the recommended type. For details, see “Ca-
pacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section.
Do not use leaded petrol. Leaded petrol will
seriously damage three-way catalyst.
Deposits from leaded petrol will seriously re-
duce the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-
tems can cause over-rich fuel flow into the
converter, causing it to overheat.
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the engine to
misfire, damaging the three-way catalyst.
Do not keep driving if the engine misfires, or
if noticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected. Have
the vehicle inspected promptly by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
Do not race the engine while warming it up.
Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
