2006 NISSAN NOTE warning lights

If the warning light remains illuminated after the en-
gine has been started, there will be no power steer-
ing assistance: the vehicle may be driven using the
mechanical steering system although it is not rec-
ommended as the effort to turn the steering wheel
will be significantly increased compared to normal
operation.
WARNING
•If the EPAS warning light illuminates while
driving, stop as soon as safely possible.
•In certain circumstances, factors external to
the EPAS system may contribute to the illumi-
nation of the warning light. If the warning light
illuminates, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible if driving, turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position for approximately 20 sec-
onds, then turn the ignition switch to the ON
position again. If the light remains illuminated,
we recommend you to contact a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
See “Power steering system” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section for further details on the EPAS sys-
tem.

Anti-lock Braking System
warning light
After turning the ignition key to the ON position, the
light will illuminate. The Anti-lock Braking System
warning light will turn off after approximately 1 sec-
ond if the system is operational.
If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate something is wrong with the anti-lock
portion of the braking system. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.Anti-lock Braking System:
The Anti-lock Braking System controls the wheels
so that they will not lock when braking abruptly or
when braking on a slippery road. This will prevent
difficult steering operation and swerving due to
locked wheels.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the anti-lock
function will cease but the ordinary brakes will con-
tinue to operate normally.
CAUTION
If the light comes on while you are driving, con-
tact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for
repair.

hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
