WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock brake
warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate the anti-lock brake system is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked
by a NISSAN dealer.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the anti-
lock function ceases, but the regular braking
system continues to operate.
If the light comes on while you are driving,
contact a NISSAN dealer for repair.
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake and
the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator
When the ignition key is in the ON position, the
light comes on when the parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition key is in the ON position, the
light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the light
comes on while the engine is running with the
parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and
perform the following:1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid
as necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
WARNING
cYour brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on. Driv-
ing could be dangerous. If you judge it
to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driv-
ing it could be dangerous.
cPressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
cIf the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
Charge warning light
If this light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate the charging system is not func-
tioning properly. Turn the engine off and check
the generator belt. If the belt is loose, broken,
missing, or if the light remains on, see a NISSAN
dealer immediately.
CAUTION

closed securely while the ignition key is in the ON
position.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light flickers or comes on during normal driving,
pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine
immediatelyand call a NISSAN dealer or other

dipstick to check the oil level. See “Engine oil” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of
this manual.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause se-
rious damage to the engine almost imme-
diately. Such damage is not covered by
warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it
is safe to do so.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the fuel
tank is getting low. The low fuel warning chime
will also sound under certain conditions. See
“Low fuel warning chime” later in this section.
Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably
before the fuel gauge reaches E (Empty) .There
will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank
when the fuel gauge needle reaches E
(Empty) .
Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that monitors the tire
pressure of all tires except the spare.The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light
comes on for about 1 second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning (for models with-
out MichelinTPAXTtires only):
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres-
sure, the warning light will illuminate. If you select
the tire pressure information in the display, the
FLAT TIRE warning message will be displayed.
The tire pressure for each tire will also be dis-
played.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
to turn the light OFF.
For additional information, see “Low tire pressure
warning system” in the “Starting and driving”
section and “Low tire pressure warning system”
in the “In case of emergency” section.
Low tire pressure warning (for models with
MichelinTPAXTtires only):
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure
the warning light will illuminate. If you select the
tire pressure information in the display, the FLATTIRE warning message will be displayed. The tire
pressure for each tire will also be displayed.
When the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pres-
sure to the recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
to turn the light OFF.
Flat tire warning (for models with Mich-
elinTPAXTtires only):
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the warning light will flash continuously and

a flat tire and the warning light will flash continu-
ously. When the flat tire warning is activated,
have the system reset and the tire checked and
replaced if necessary by a NISSAN dealer or
authorized Michelin PAX system dealer. Even if
the tire is inflated to the specified COLD tire
pressure, the warning light will continue to flash
until the system is reset by a NISSAN dealer.
If you select the tire pressure information in the
display, the FLAT TIRE warning message will be
displayed. The tire pressure for each tire will also
be displayed.
Your vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a
flat tire. See “Michelin PAX Tires” in the “Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself” section.

warning system” in the “Starting and driving”
section and “Low tire pressure warning system”
in the “In case of emergency” section.
Tire pressure monitor system malfunction
(all models):
If the tire pressure monitor system is not function-
ing properly, the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute when the
ignition switch is turned on. The light will remain

WARNING
cIf the light does not come on with the
key switch turned ON, have the vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.c
If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Se-
rious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the light
still comes on while driving after adjust-
ing the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare
tire as soon as possible.
cAlthough you can continue driving with
a punctured MichelinTPAXTtire (if so
equipped) , remember that vehicle han-
dling stability is reduced, which could
lead to an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tires.
cDo not drive at speeds above 50 MPH
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
125 miles (200 km) with a punctured
MichelinTPAXTtire (if so equipped) .The actual distance the vehicle can be
driven on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road condi-
tions and other factors.
cDo not tow a trailer when a MichelinT
PAXTtire (if so equipped) is flat.
cWhen a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated and the low tire pressure
warning system will not function. Con-
tact your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
CAUTION
cThe low tire pressure warning system is
not a substitute for the regular tire pres-
sure check. Be sure to check the tire
pressure regularly.
cIf the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of less than 20 MPH (32 km/h) , the low
tire pressure warning system may not
operate correctly.
cBe sure to install the specified size of
tires to the 4 wheels correctly.
