the LOCK position.
If the 4WD warning light blinks in the follow-
ing sequence while driving, proceed as in-
structed:
– Blinks rapidly (about twice a second)Pull off the road at a safe place and idle
the engine. The driving mode will change
to 2WD to prevent the 4WD system from

possible.
Water in fuel filter warning light
(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, try to drain the
water from the fuel filter, see “Fuel filter (Diesel en-
gine models)” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section. 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.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Automatic transmission check
indicator light (AT models)
This light indicates both the “Automatic transmis-
sion oil temperature warning” and the “Fail-safe op-
eration”.
Automatic transmission oil temperature
warning:
This light comes on when the automatic transmis-
sion oil temperature is too high. If the light comes on
while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as soon as
safely possible until the light turns off.
Fail-safe operation:
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the light
comes on for 2 seconds. If the light blinks, it may
indicate the automatic transmission is not function-
ing properly. Have your NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop check and repair the transmission.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the automatic
transmission check warning light is on may dam-
age the automatic transmission.
Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) indicator
light (CVT models)
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned
to the ON position.
If the CVT light comes on during normal operation,
it may indicate that something is wrong with the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Have
your system checked by a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
NOTE
A CVT ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM WARN-
ING display (centre console — where fitted) will
come on when a malfunction may have occurred
to the transmission control system. The selected
Detailed Information key will then recommend
going to a NISSAN dealer for the system to be
checked.
Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) OFF indicator light
(where fitted)
The light comes on when the Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP) OFF switch is pushed to the OFF
position. This indicates that the ESP system is not
operating.
This light also comes on briefly when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. The light will
turn off after approximately 1 second if the ESP sys-
tem is operational.
Instruments and controls2-7

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the ESP OFF indicator light and SLIP indica-
tor light come on with the ESP system turned on, it
alerts the driver to the fact that the system’s fail-safe
mode is operating. This means that the system may
not be functioning properly. Have the system
checked by your NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the ESP sys-
tem function will be cancelled, but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
4WD mode indicator light
(AUTO) (4WD models)
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned
to the ON position. If the engine is running, this light
will illuminate when the 4WD AUTO mode is se-
lected.
See “Four-wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
4WD mode indicator light
(LOCK) (4WD models)
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned
to the ON position.
If the engine is running, this light and the 4WD mode
indicator light (AUTO) will be lit when the 4WD
LOCK mode is selected.
See “Four-wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
Glow plug indicator light (Diesel
engines)
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.
Low fuel indicator light
When the fuel level is getting low, the low fuel warn-
ing light will switch on to alert the driver. Refuel as
soon as it is convenient. There should be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge
reaches the empty level. See also “Vehicle informa-
tion display” later in this section.
Malfunction Indicator light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the orange Malfunction Indicator light illumi-
nates. This means that the system is operational.
If the orange Malfunction Indicator light comes on
steady or blinks (where fitted) while the engine is
running, it may indicate an engine control system
malfunction.
See “Malfunction warning light (red) (where fitted)”
earlier in this section for details of the red malfunc-
tion warning light (where fitted).On steady (orange):
An engine malfunction has been detected. Have the
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
Blinking (orange) (where fitted):
An engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the engine control system.
To reduce or avoid engine control system dam-
age:
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 Malfunction Indicator light 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.

switch
ji (where fitted) is pressed.
NOTE
Visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
before the maintenance due alertj19reaches
0 km (miles) to perform maintenance (oil

the front of the vehicle. At low speeds the sensor
can be affected by engine heat, heat reflected
from the road surface and exhaust from other
vehicles, these influences can cause the display
to be inaccurate. To compensate, the outside air
temperature display is designed to react slowly
to increasing temperatures, but quickly to falling
temperatures.
