CAUTION
.If the gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature is near the hot
(H) end of the normal range, reduce
vehicle speed to decrease the tem-
perature.
.If the gauge is over the normal
range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible and let the engine
idle.
.If the engine is overheated, contin-
ued operation of the vehicle may
seriously damage the engine. (See
“If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-11)
for immediate action required.)

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel
level in the tank when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, accelerating, or going up and down hills
due to movement of fuel in the tank.
The low fuel warning
appears on the vehicle
information display when the fuel level in the tank
is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the gauge reads 0 (empty) .
The arrow,
, indicates the location of the
fuel-filler door.Refuel before the gauge reads the empty
(0) position.
There is a small reserve of fuel in the tank when
the fuel gauge reads the empty (0) position.
CAUTION
.If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light (MIL)
may come on. Refuel as soon as
possible. After a few driving trips,
the
light should turn off. If the
light remains on after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
.For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P.2-16) .

you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-102) .)
orBrake warning light (red)
This light functions for both the parking brake
and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator (models not
equipped with electronic parking brake
system):
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the light illuminates when the parking brake is
applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the brake warning light illuminates, and
then turns off (models equipped with electronic
parking brake system) . If the light illuminates
while the engine is running with the parking
brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid is
necessary, add fluid and have the system
checked. It is recommended you have this
service performed by a NISSAN dealer.
(See “Brake and clutch fluid” (P.8-9) .)2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
warning system checked. It is recommended
you have this service performed by a
NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate
the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the
brake system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. (See “Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) warning light” (P.2-10) .)
WARNING
.Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning light
is on. Driving could be dangerous. If
you judge it to be safe, drive care-
fully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your
vehicle towed because driving it
could be dangerous.
.Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-ping distance and braking will re-
quire 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. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Charge warning light
If the light illuminates while the engine is running,
it may indicate the charging system is not
functioning properly. Turn the engine off and
check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose,
broken, missing or if the light remains on, have
your vehicle serviced immediately. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator
belt is loose, broken or missing.

WARNING
.Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. You could be burned or
seriously injured if it is misused or
mishandled. Always stop engine
and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks near the vehicle
when refueling.
.Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly
a fire.
.Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It
has a built-in safety valve needed
for proper operation of the fuel
system and emission control sys-
tem. An incorrect cap can result in a
serious malfunction and possible
injury. It could also cause the mal-
function indicator light to come on.
.Never pour fuel into the throttle
body to attempt to start your vehi-
cle..Do not fill a portable fuel container
in the vehicle or trailer. Static elec-
tricity can cause an explosion of
flammable liquid, vapor or gas in
any vehicle or trailer. To reduce the
risk of serious injury or death when
filling portable fuel containers:
— Always place the container on
the ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices
when filling.
— Keep the pump nozzle in contact
with the container while you are
filling it.
— Use only approved portable fuel
containers for flammable liquid.
CAUTION
.If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.
.Insert the cap straight into the fuel-
filler tube, then tighten until the
fuel-filler cap clicks. Failure to tight-
en the fuel-filler cap properly maycause the
malfunction indicator
light (MIL) to illuminate. If the
light illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten
or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
light
should turn off after a few driving
trips. If the
light does not turn
off after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P.2-16) .
.The LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
message will be displayed if the
fuel-filler cap is not properly tigh-
tened. It may take a few driving trips
for the message to be displayed.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly after the LOOSE FUEL CAP
warning message is displayed may
cause the
Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) to illuminate.
