WARNING LIGHTS
Also see “Vehicle information display” later in this
section.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance (see “Brake
system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section).
BRAKE warning light (red)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the light remains illuminated for a few seconds.
If the light illuminates at any other time, it may indi-
cate that the brake system is not functioning prop-
erly. If the BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the
vehicle immediately and contact a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
light warns of a low brake fluid level. If this warning
light illuminates, the Electronic Stability Programme(ESP) warning light and the brake system warning
light (yellow) also illuminate. If the light illuminates
while the ignition switch is in the ON position with
the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and
perform the following steps:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid level is
low, add fluid and have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See
“Brake and clutch fluid” in the “8. Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warn-
ing system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
WARNING
•Your brake system may not be working prop-
erly if the warning light is on. Driving could be
dangerous. If you judge the brake system to
be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service
station for repairs. Otherwise, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
•Pressing the brake pedal when the ignition
switch is not in the ON position and/or when
the brake fluid level is low may increase the
stopping distance and braking will require
greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
•If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do
not drive until the brake system has been
checked at a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This indi-
cates that the charging system is operational.
If the charge warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, it may indicate that
the charging system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing.
When the charge warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the alternator belt. If the
alternator belt is loose, broken or missing, the charg-
ing system needs repair (see “Drive belts” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section).
If the alternator belt appears to be functioning cor-
rectly but the charge warning light remains illumi-
nated, have the charging system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.
Forward Emergency Braking
system warning light

while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
For additional information, see “Security system”
later in this section.
