Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine burns-off the accumulated carbon. This regenera-
tion process is normally automatic and not visible to
the driver.
Regeneration restrictions:
Driving conditions such as frequent short journeys
or stop/start driving can result in excessive build up
of carbon in the filter. When this happens the DPF
warning light will illuminate (and a message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display, see “Vehicle
information display” later in this section) to inform
you that the vehicle must be driven in a particular
manner to begin regeneration.
When the DPF warning light is illuminated, provided
that legal and safety conditions allow, the vehicle
should be driven at a speed of over 60 km/h (37.5
MPH) until the DPF warning light turns off. This pro-
cess can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
If regeneration fails:
Failure to react to the DPF warning light may lead to
saturation of the DPF system. If this happens the
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
will illuminate indi-
cating that a Service Regeneration by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop is required. The engine
speed may also be limited to 3,000 rpm to protect
the DPF system.
NOTE
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
to perform a forced regeneration.
Electronic Power Assisted
Steering (EPAS) warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the EPAS warning light illuminates. This means
the system is operational.
If the warning light remains illuminated after the en-
gine has been started, there will be no power steer-
ing assistance: the vehicle may be driven using the
mechanical steering system although it is not rec-
ommended as the effort required to turn the steer-
ing wheel will be significantly increased compared
to normal operation.
WARNING
If the EPAS warning light illuminates while
driving, stop as soon as safely possible.
In certain circumstances, factors external to
the EPAS system may contribute to the illumi-
nation of the warning light. If the warning light
illuminates, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible if driving, turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position for approximately 20 sec-
onds and then turn the ignition switch to the
ON position again. If the light remains illumi-
nated, we recommend that you contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
See “Power steering system” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section for further details on the EPAS sys-
tem.
Engine oil pressure warning light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light flickers or comes on during normal driving, or
stays on once the engine is started, pull off the road
at a safe area, stop the engine immediatelyand call
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil pressure
warning light on could cause serious damage to
the engine.
NOTE
The [Оil lеvеll оw] message indication is dis-
played for 5 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned to the ON position. See “Vehicle in-
formation display” later in this section.
Front passenger air bag
deactivated (OFF) warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion the front passenger air bag deactivated (OFF)
warning light
, located in the combination
meter, illuminates for approximately 7 seconds and
then goes off. This means the system is operational.
The light warns of front passenger air bag status. If
the front passenger air bag has been deactivated,
the light comes on and stays on as long as the front
passenger air bag switch remains in the OFF posi-
tion.
Instruments and controls2-5

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the ESP OFF indicator light and SLIP indica-
tor light come on with the ESP system turned on, it
alerts the driver to the fact that the system’s fail-safe
mode is operating. This means that the system may
not be functioning properly. Have the system
checked by your NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the ESP sys-
tem function will be cancelled, but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
4WD mode indicator light
(AUTO) (4WD models)
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned
to the ON position. If the engine is running, this light
will illuminate when the 4WD AUTO mode is se-
lected.
See “Four-wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
4WD mode indicator light
(LOCK) (4WD models)
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned
to the ON position.
If the engine is running, this light and the 4WD mode
indicator light (AUTO) will be lit when the 4WD
LOCK mode is selected.
See “Four-wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
Glow plug indicator light (Diesel
engines)
This light comes on when the ignition switch is in the
ON position and goes out when the glow plugs have
been pre-heated. When the engine is cold, the glow
plug warm-up time will be longer.
Low fuel indicator light
When the fuel level is getting low, the low fuel warn-
ing light will switch on to alert the driver. Refuel as
soon as it is convenient. There should be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge
reaches the empty level. See also “Vehicle informa-
tion display” later in this section.
Malfunction Indicator light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the orange Malfunction Indicator light illumi-
nates. This means that the system is operational.
If the orange Malfunction Indicator light comes on
steady or blinks (where fitted) while the engine is
running, it may indicate an engine control system
malfunction.
See “Malfunction warning light (red) (where fitted)”
earlier in this section for details of the red malfunc-
tion warning light (where fitted).On steady (orange):
An engine malfunction has been detected. Have the
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
Blinking (orange) (where fitted):
An engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the engine control system.
To reduce or avoid engine control system dam-
age:
Do not drive at speeds above 70 km/h (43
MPH).
Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
Avoid steep uphill grades.
If possible, reduce the load being carried or
towed.
The Malfunction Indicator light may stop blinking
and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.

(where fitted)
The outside rear-view mirrors will be defogged when
the defogger switch is activated.
XENON HEADLIGHTS (where fitted)
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced at
an authorised NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Xenon headlights provide considerably 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 head-
lights are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop and have the headlights ad-
justed correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its
brightness or colour varies slightly. However, the
colour and brightness will soon stabilise.
The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by
frequent on-off operation. It is generally desir-
able not to turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal).
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning
out, the brightness will drastically decrease, the
light will start blinking, or the colour of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above
signs occur, contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
NISSAN recommends you to consult the local regu-
lations concerning the use of lights.
