Diesel particulate filter warning
light (where fitted)
When the warning light illuminates, it indicates that
particulate matter has accumulated to the specified
amount of the limit in the diesel particulate filter.
Drive the vehicle at more than approximately 60 km/h
(37.5 MPH) as soon as safely possible until the
warning light turns off. Always conform to local regu-
lations. Particulate matter collected in the filter can-
not be burned under low speed driving conditions.
After having burned the particulate matter com-
pletely, the warning light will turn off.
See “Diesel particulate filter (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section for further details.
Glow plug indicator light (Diesel
engine)
This light comes on when the ignition switch is in the
ON position, and goes out when the glow plugs
have been pre-heated. When the engine is cold, the
glow plug warm-up time will be longer.
CAUTION
If the light remains on, this may indicate a prob-
lem in the glow system. Have the system checked
at a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

(automatic transmission)
The overdrive off indicator light illuminates when the
overdrive is turned OFF. See “Driving with auto-

activated. This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this case, turn
the ignition key to the “OFF” position and wait for
3 seconds. Then turn the key back to the ON
position. The vehicle should return to its normal
operating condition. If it does not return to its
normal operating condition have a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop check the transmission
and repair if necessary.

will turn off after approximately 2 seconds if the sys-tem is operational. If the light does not come on
have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop.
