CHECKING BULBS
With all doors closed, apply the handbrake, fasten
the seat belts and turn the ignition switch to the ON
position without starting the engine. The following
lights (where fitted) will come on:
,,,,,
The following lights (where fitted) come on briefly
and then go off:
,,,,,,,
,,,,(M9R engine
only)
If any light fails to come on, it may indicate a burned-
out bulb or an open circuit in the electrical system.
Have the system checked, and repaired promptly by
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
WARNING LIGHTS
Also see “Vehicle information display” later in this
section.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light
After turning the ignition switch to the ON position,
the light will illuminate. The anti-lock braking system
warning light will turn off after approximately 2 sec-
onds if the system is operational.
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-3
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Do not drive on dry, hard surfaced roads in
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
malfunctioning. The vehicle can be driven
again as soon as the warning light turns
off.
– Blinks slowly (about once every 2 seconds) Change the driving mode to 2WD and re-
duce the vehicle speed as soon as safely
possible.
If the warning light is still on after performing the
above operation, have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop as soon as
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you must run the engine in an enclosed
space such as a garage, be sure there is
proper ventilation for exhaust gases.
Do not get under a vehicle that is supported
only by a jack: Use vehicle support stands.
Keep smoking materials, flame and sparks
away from fuel and battery.
Never connect or disconnect either the bat-
tery or any transistorised component connec-
tor while the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Never leave the engine or transmission re-
lated component harness connector discon-
nected while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
On petrol engine models with the multiport
fuel injection (MFI) system, the fuel filter or
fuel lines should be serviced by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop because the fuel
lines are under high pressure even when the
engine is off.
Always wear eye protection whenever you
work on your vehicle.
Failure to follow these or other common sense
guidelines may lead to serious injury or ve-
hicle damage.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAMImproperly disposed engine oil and/or other
vehicle fluids can pollute the environment. Al-
ways conform to local regulations for disposal
of vehicle fluid.
This section gives instructions regarding only those
items which are relatively easy for an owner to per-
form.
You should be aware that incomplete or improper
servicing may result in operating difficulties or ex-
cessive emissions, and could affect your warranty
coverage. If in doubt about any servicing, have it
done by your NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. For an overview of the engine compartment, see
“Instrument and control layout” in the “0. Illus-
trated table of contents” section

*2: With the technical performances of oil ACEA B3/B4.
*3: Use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant, or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium corrosion within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuineengine coolant. Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be covered by the warranty, eve n
if such incidents occurred during the warranty period. Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for more information regarding the coolant type and capacity.

9-4Technical information
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Petrol engine
Unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 95
(RON) must be used.
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol. Using leaded petrol will
damage the catalytic converter.
Diesel engine
EN590 Diesel fuel of at least 51 cetane must be
used.
NOTE
Use only low sulphur diesel.
If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer
or winter fuel properly according to the following
temperature conditions.
Above –7°C (20°F)...Summer type diesel fuel.
Below–7°C(20°F)...Wintertypedieselfuel.
If you are in any doubt, please consult a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
Do not use home heating oil, petrol or other
alternate fuels in the diesel engine, this can
cause engine damage.
Do not add petrol or other alternate fuels to
diesel fuel.
Do not use summer fuel at temperatures be-
low –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will
cause wax to form in the fuel. As a result, it
may prevent the engine from running
smoothly.
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY
NUMBER Petrol engine oil
5W-30 is preferable. If 5W-30 is not available,
select the viscosity from the chart, that is suit-
able for the outside temperature range.
Diesel engine oil

5W-30 is preferable. If 5W-30 is not available,
select the viscosity from the chart, that is suit-
able for the outside temperature range.
M9R engine without DPF:
ONLY use 5W40 or 0W40
K9K and M9R engine with DPF (where fitted)
or R9M engine:
ONLY use 5W30 low SAPS
Manual gear oil
For manual transmission:
75W80 or 75W85 (depending on the manual
transmission type) is preferable.
For transfer and rear differential:
– 80W90 is preferable.
– For hot areas: 90 is suitable for ambient tem-
peratures below 40 °C.
– For very hot areas: 140 for the differential gear.
