CHECKING BULBS
With all doors closed, apply the handbrake, fasten
the seat belts and turn the ignition switch to the ON
position without starting the engine.
The following lights will come on:
,,,
The following lights (where fitted) come on briefly
and then go off:
,,(red),,,,,,,
If any light fails to come on, it may indicate a burned-
out bulb or an open circuit in the electrical system.
Have the system repaired promptly.
WARNING LIGHTS
Air bag warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START
position, the air bag light will illuminate for approxi-
mately 7 seconds and then turn off. This means the
system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the air bag
systems and pre-tensioner seat belt need servicingand your vehicle must be taken to the nearest
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•The air bag warning light remains on after ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
•The air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
•The air bag warning light does not come on at
all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) and/or pre-tensioner seat belt
may not function properly.
For additional details on the air bag system, see
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-7

in a safe area, stop the engineimmediatelyand call
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
•Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light on could cause serious
damage to the engine.
•The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate a low oil level. Use the
dipstick to check the oil level.
See “Engine oil level information (where fitted)” ear-
lier in this section and “Engine oil” in the “8. Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself” section for further details
on engine oil level.
Malfunction indicator/warning
(light)
Malfunction indicator (MI) (light) (orange):
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the MI light illuminates. This means the system
is operational.
If the Malfunction Indicator comes on steady or
blinks (where fitted) while the engine is running, it
may indicate an engine control system malfunction.
Malfunction indicator on steady:
An engine control system malfunction has been de-
tected. Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
Malfunction indicator blinking (where fitted):An engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the engine control system.
To reduce or avoid engine control system damage:
•Do not drive at speeds above 70 km/h (43
MPH).
•Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
•Avoid steep uphill grades.
•If possible, reduce the load being carried or
towed.
The MI may stop blinking and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy, and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system may
lead to non-compliance of local and national emis-
sion laws and regulations.
Malfunction warning (light) (red) (where fitted):
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates. This
means the system is operational.If the Malfunction warning comes on steady while
the engine is running, it may indicate an engine con-
trol system malfunction.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy, and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.
Water in fuel filter warning light (Diesel engine)
(red) (where fitted):
If the warning light remains on or flashes irregularly
while the engine is running, there may be water in
the fuel filter. Should this happen, have the system
inspected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Failure to drain the water from the fuel filter can
cause serious damage to the engine. Contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Electrically Power Assisted
Steering (EPAS) warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the EPAS warning light illuminates. This means
the system is operational.

WARNING
•Be careful not to burn yourself with exhaust
gases.
•Do not park the vehicle over flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags,
as they may burn easily.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
The diesel particulate filter reduces the amount of
materials that affect the environment by collecting
the particulate matter included in exhaust gases.
Particulate matter that has accumulated in the filter
is automatically burned and converted into harmless
substances while driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
The filter becomes extremely hot after burning
particulate matter.
If the diesel particulate filter warning light comes on,
it indicates that particulate matter has accumulated
in the filter to the specified limit. Particulate matter
collected in the filter cannot be burned under low
speed driving conditions.
As soon as safely possible, drive the vehicle at a
high speed (more than approximately 60 km/h (37.5
MPH) until the filter warning light goes out. Always
conform to local regulations.
When the accumulated particulate matter has been
completely burned, the filter warning light will go
out.
WARNING
•If the vehicle continues to be driven at a low
speed with the diesel particulate filter warn-
ing light illuminated, the fail-safe will limit en-
gine revolutions and/or torque. In this case,
the engine oil must be replaced and the pro-
cess of burning accumulated particulate mat-
ter must be carried out by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
•Use engine oil for diesel particulate filter
equipped models. For details, see “Capaci-
ties and recommended fuel/lubricants” in the
“9. Technical information” section.Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is es-
sential for your safety and comfort. As a driver, you
should be the one who knows best how to drive in
the given circumstances.
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
Due to the higher engine speeds when the engine is
cold, extra caution must be exercised when select-
ing a gear during the engine warm-up period after
starting the engine.
LOADING LUGGAGE
Loads, their distribution and the attachment of equip-
ment (coupling devices, roof luggage carriers, etc.)
will change the driving characteristics of the vehicle
considerably. Driving style and speed must be ad-
justed accordingly.
DRIVING ON WET ROADS
•Avoid starting off, accelerating and stopping sud-
denly.
•Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
•Extra distance should be kept from the vehicle in
front.
•When water covers the road surface in puddles,
small streams, etc, REDUCE SPEED to prevent
aquaplaning which will cause skidding and loss
of control. Worn tyres increase this risk.
DRIVING UNDER WINTER
CONDITIONS
•Drive safely.
