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
2-4Instruments and controls

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
Avoid quick starts.
Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
Check that all doors are closed.
Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.

jA Shift lock release button
If the battery charge is low or discharged, the selec-
tor lever may not move from the P (Park) position
even with the brake pedal depressed and the selec-
tor lever button pushed.
To move the selector lever, perform the following
procedure:
1. Models with Intelligent Key system:
Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” or LOCK
position.
Models without Intelligent Key system:
Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position,
and remove the key if it is inserted.
2. Apply the handbrake.
3. Push down the shift lock release button
jA.Use
a suitable tool.
4. Push and hold the selector lever button and move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position while
holding down the shift lock release button.
Place the ignition switch in the ON position to un-
lock the steering wheel. The vehicle may be moved
to the desired location. For models with Intelligent Key system: If the battery
is discharged completely, the steering wheel cannot
be unlocked. Do not move the vehicle with the steer-
ing wheel locked.
If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the P
(Park) position, have a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop check the CVT system as soon as pos-
sible.
WARNING
If the selector lever cannot be moved from the P
(Park) position while the engine is running and
the brake pedal is depressed, the stop lights may
not work. Malfunctioning stop lights could cause
an accident injuring yourself and others.
High fluid temperature protection mode
This transmission has a high fluid temperature pro-
tection mode. If the fluid temperature becomes too
high (for example, when climbing steep grades in
high temperature with heavy loads, such as when
towing a trailer), engine power and, under some
conditions, vehicle speed will be decreased auto-
matically to reduce the chance of transmission dam-
age. Vehicle speed can be controlled with the ac-
celerator pedal, but engine and vehicle speed may
be limited.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the CVT will
not be shifted to the selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse- quent hard braking, the fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this case, place
the ignition switch in the “OFF” position and wait
for 10 seconds. Then turn the ignition switch back
to the ON position. The vehicle should return to
its normal operating condition. If it does not re-
turn to its normal operating condition, have a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop check the
transmission and repair it if necessary.
WARNING
When the fail-safe operation occurs, vehicle
speed may be gradually reduced. The reduced
speed may be lower than other traffic, which
could increase the chance of a collision. Be es-
pecially careful when driving. If necessary, pull to
the side of the road at a safe place and allow the
transmission to return to normal operation, or
have it repaired if necessary.
