Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear

placement, it makes a high pitched scraping
sound when the vehicle is in motion whether
or not the brake pedal is depressed. Have
the brakes checked as soon as possible if
the warning sound is heard.

(emission system)
If this light comes on or blinks while the
engine is running, it may indicate a po-
tential emission control problem. Al-
though the vehicle is still driveable, see
your NISSAN dealer for service as soon
as possible. Continued operation with-
out having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system which may
affect your warranty coverage.The theft warning system provides audio
and visual alarm signals if parts of the
