Master warning lightGUID-6AB3A8A0-B446-4089-A66C-618A6659F580When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the master warning light illuminates if any of the
following are displayed on the dot matrix liquid
crystal display:
.No key warning
. Low fuel warning
. Low washer fluid warning
. Parking brake release warning
. Door/lift gate open warning (Hardtop mod-
els)
. Door/trunk open warning (CrossCabriolet

Seat belt warning lightGUID-956FC59D-0351-472F-8CD0-3356E0A21318The light and chime remind you to fasten seat
belts. The light illuminates whenever the ignition
switch is pushed to the ON position, and will
remain illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is
fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front
passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is not
fastened when the front passenger’s seat is occupied. For approximately 5 seconds after the
ignition switch is in the ON position, the system
does not activate the warning light for the front
passenger.
See “Seat belts” in the “1. Safety — Seats, seat
belts and supplemental restraint system” section
for precautions on seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warning lightGUID-C47663FA-9971-432A-840C-6232303C8EC4After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning light
will illuminate. The supplemental air bag warning
light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
SRS air bag systems are operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the air
bags and/or pretensioner systems need servi-
cing and your vehicle must be taken to your
nearest NISSAN dealer.
.
The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Unless checked and repaired, the Supplemental
Restraint Systems (air bag systems) and/or the
pretensioners may not function properly.
For additional information, see “Supplemental
restraint system” in the “1. Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system” sec-
tion.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the air
bags and/or pretensioner systems will
not operate in an accident. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others, have
your vehicle checked by a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.
Vehicle dynamic control (VDC)
warning light
GUID-9CD9709D-A6B8-4177-B503-4BF50BC0F688The light will blink when the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system or the traction control
system is operating, thus alerting the driver that
the vehicle is nearing its traction limits. The road
surface may be slippery.
If the VDC warning light comes on and stays on
while the VDC system is on, this light alerts the
driver to the fact that the VDC system’s fail-safe
mode is operating, for example the VDC system
may not be functioning properly. Have the
system checked by a NISSAN dealer. If a
malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled but the vehicle

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
light (green; if so equipped)
GUID-E3C994B9-093A-4F82-BA6D-735ADC99A238The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) light
(green) will illuminate when the LDW system is
turned on. The light turns off when the system is
turned off. (See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.)
NOTE:
This light is common with the Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW) light (orange) . (See
“Lane Departure Warning (LDW) light”
earlier in this section.)
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)GUID-6AF8662E-1DE1-45FE-852C-925D132DCE37If 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 Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test” in the “9. Technical
and consumer information” section.)
Operation:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
.
Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system and/or CVT mal-
function has been detected. Check the fuel-
filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
appears on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display. If the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light
should turn off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage: — Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
— Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
— Avoid steep uphill grades.
— If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
and/or CVT system checked and re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor
driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
possible damage to the emission con-
trol system.
