high beams are on and goes out when the
low beams are selected.
The high beam indicator light also comes on
when the passing signal is activated.
Malfunction indicator light
(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator lamp may also
come on steady if the fuel filler cap is loose
or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel.
Check to make sure the fuel filler cap is
installed and closed tightly, and that the
vehicle has at least three gallons of fuel in
the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
lamp
should turn off if no other potential emission
control system malfunction exists.
Operation
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on
in one of two ways:O

after a few driving trips. If the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
OMalfunction indicator lamp blinking þ An

may damage the emission control sys-
tem. To reduce or avoid emission control

Oavoid steep uphill grades.
Oif possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.

Have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer. You do not need to
