WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-3

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate that the anti-lock portion of the braking
system is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the handbrake and the
footbrake systems.
Handbrake indicator:
The light comes on when the handbrake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning:
The light warns of a low brake fluid level. If the light
comes on while the engine is running with the hand-
brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform the
following procedure:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid asnecessary. See “Brake and clutch fluid” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
WARNING
If the level is below the MIN (minimum) mark
on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive until
the brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct: Have the warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
WARNING
Driving your vehicle could be dangerous. Have
it towed to the nearest NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
Depressing the brake pedal with the engine
stopped could increase your stopping dis-
tance and require greater pedal travel dis-
tance and effort.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is running, it
may indicate that the charging system is not func-
tioning properly. Turn the engine off and check the
alternator belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing
or if the light remains on, see a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop immediately.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light (where fitted)
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.
If the vehicle continues to be driven at a low
speed with the DPF warning light illuminated,
the fail-safe will limit engine revolutions and/
or torque. In this case, the engine oil must be
replaced and the process of burning accumu-
lated particulate matter must be carried out
by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
Service regeneration is a maintenance item
and is not covered by the NISSAN warranty.
Use engine oil for DPF equipped models. For
details, see “Capacities and recommended
fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
CAUTION
The DPF becomes extremely hot after burning
particulate matter.
M9R engine only:
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning light
illuminates for a few seconds and then goes out.
This indicates that the system is operational.
All diesel engines:
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM

the Around View Monitor may be distorted mo-
mentarily until the Around View Monitor screen
is displayed completely.

the screen may not display objects clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly shines on the camera,
objects may not be displayed clearly. This is not
a malfunction.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen due to light reflections. This is not a mal-
function.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
The colours of objects on the Around View Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.
Objects on the monitor may not be clear and the
colour of the object may differ in a dark location
or at night. This is not a malfunction.
There may be differences in clearness between
each camera view of the bird’s-eye view.

Around View Monitor may not display objects
clearly. Clean the camera.
CAUTION
Do not scratch lenses when cleaning the cam-
era.
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the camera. This will cause discolouration. To
clean the camera, wipe with a cloth that has

WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
Check that all doors are closed.
Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
