After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emission control system malfunction ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-
18).)

The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
.

fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tight-
en or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The

stop blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected. It is re-
commended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
and/or CVT system checked and
repaired as necessary could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel econ-
omy, and possible damage to the
emission control system.
