dealer as soon as possible.INDICATOR LIGHTS
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) LOCK
indicator light (AWD models)
This light illuminates when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, and turns off within 1
second.
When selecting the LOCK mode while the
engine is running, this light will illuminate. (See
“ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.)
Continuously Variable Transmis-
sion (CVT) position indicator light
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the indicator shows the automatic
selector shift position. (See “CONTINUOUSLY
VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
Cruise indicator light
Cruise main switch indicator:
This light illuminates when the cruise control
main switch is pushed. The light turns off whenthe main switch is pushed again. When the
cruise main switch indicator light illuminates, the
cruise control system is operational. (See
“CRUISE CONTROL” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
Cruise malfunction:
If the cruise indicator light blinks while the
engine is running, it may indicate the cruise
control system is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked by a NISSAN dealer. (See
“CRUISE CONTROL” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
Front passenger air bag status
light
The front passenger air bag status lightwill be lit and the passenger front air bag will be
OFF depending on how the front passenger
seat is being used.
For front passenger air bag status light opera-
tion,see“NISSANADVANCEDAIRBAG
SYSTEM (front seats)” in the “1. Safety —
Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system” section of this manual.
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam isselected.
Low beam indicator light
The light comes on when the front park, side
marker, tail and license plate lights are on.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control and/or
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “READINESS FOR
INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) TEST” in
the “9. Technical and consumer information”
