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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine burns-off the accumulated carbon. This regenera-
tion process is normally automatic and not visible to
the driver.
Regeneration restrictions:
Driving conditions such as frequent short journeys
or stop/start driving can result in excessive build up
of carbon in the filter. When this happens the DPF
warning light will illuminate (and a message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display, see “Vehicle
information display” later in this section) to inform
you that the vehicle must be driven in a particular
manner to begin regeneration.
When the DPF warning light is illuminated, provided
that legal and safety conditions allow, the vehicle
should be driven at a speed of over 60 km/h (37.5
MPH) until the DPF warning light turns off. This pro-
cess can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
If regeneration fails:
Failure to react to the DPF warning light may lead to
saturation of the DPF system. If this happens the
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
will illuminate indi-
cating that a Service Regeneration by a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop is required. The engine
speed may also be limited to 3,000 rpm to protect
the DPF system.
NOTE
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
to perform a forced regeneration.
Electronic Power Assisted
Steering (EPAS) warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the EPAS warning light illuminates. This means
the system is operational.
If the warning light remains illuminated after the en-
gine has been started, there will be no power steer-
ing assistance: the vehicle may be driven using the
mechanical steering system although it is not rec-
ommended as the effort required to turn the steer-
ing wheel will be significantly increased compared
to normal operation.
WARNING
If the EPAS warning light illuminates while
driving, stop as soon as safely possible.
In certain circumstances, factors external to
the EPAS system may contribute to the illumi-
nation of the warning light. If the warning light
illuminates, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible if driving, turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position for approximately 20 sec-
onds and then turn the ignition switch to the
ON position again. If the light remains illumi-
nated, we recommend that you contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
See “Power steering system” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section for further details on the EPAS sys-
tem.
Engine oil pressure warning light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light flickers or comes on during normal driving, or
stays on once the engine is started, pull off the road
at a safe area, stop the engine immediatelyand call
a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil pressure
warning light on could cause serious damage to
the engine.
NOTE
The [Оil lеvеll оw] message indication is dis-
played for 5 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned to the ON position. See “Vehicle in-
formation display” later in this section.
Front passenger air bag
deactivated (OFF) warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion the front passenger air bag deactivated (OFF)
warning light
, located in the combination
meter, illuminates for approximately 7 seconds and
then goes off. This means the system is operational.
The light warns of front passenger air bag status. If
the front passenger air bag has been deactivated,
the light comes on and stays on as long as the front
passenger air bag switch remains in the OFF posi-
tion.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine jACamera
When the gear or selector lever (AT or CVT) is
moved into the R (Reverse) position, the monitor
(NISSAN Connect display) shows the view from the
rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects. It is intended to
help avoid damaging the vehicle when reversing.
However, the system will not detect small objects
below the bumper and may not detect objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
WARNING
The rear-view camera is a convenience but it
is not a substitute for proper reversing. Al-
ways turn your head and visually check that
the manoeuvre is safe to do so before revers-
ing. Always reverse slowly.
The distance from the objects viewed in the
rear-view monitor differs from actual distance because of the use of wide-angle lens. Ob-
jects in the rear-view monitor will appear visu-
ally reversed compared to those viewed in the
inside and outside mirrors.
Make sure that the back door is securely
closed when reversing.
The area below the bumper and corner areas
of the bumper cannot be viewed on the rear-
view monitor because of its monitoring range
limitation.
Do not put anything on the rear-view camera.
The rear-view camera is installed above the
number plate.
When washing the vehicle with high pressure
water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-
era. Otherwise, water may enter the camera
unit causing possibly water condensation on
the lens, a malfunction, a fire or an electric
shock.
Do not strike the camera. It is a precision in-
strument. Otherwise, it may malfunction or
cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric
shock.
CAUTION
There is a transparent cover over the camera
lens. Do not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt
or snow from it.
HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
WARNING
Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of oc-
cupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road con-
dition and road grade. Always check with your
eyes directly around the vehicle while revers-
ing.
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
line should be used as a reference only when
the vehicle is on a level paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is for refer-
ence only and may be different than the ac-
tual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
When reversing the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than they
appear. When reversing the vehicle down a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor are closer

The cameras are installed above the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the rear
number plate. Do not put anything on or cover
the cameras.
When washing the vehicle with high-pressure
water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-
eras. Otherwise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on the lens,
a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
Do not strike the cameras. They are precision
instruments. Doing so could cause a malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
In some areas the system will not detect ob-
jects. When in the front or the rear view dis-
play, an object below the bumper or on the
ground may not be detected
j1 . When in the
bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam of
the camera detecting areas will not appear in
the monitor
j2.
Due to electromagnetic radiation a red cross
might appear in the monitor. This is normal.
Check surroundings for safety. Move the ve-
hicle away from the source of the interfer-
ence if possible. If the red cross does not dis-
appear contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Lights*:
Clean the headlights on a regular basis. Make sure
that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal
lights, and other lights are all operating properly and
installed securely. Also check headlight aim.
Tyres*:
Check the pressure with a gauge periodically when
at a service station (including the spare) and adjust
to the specified pressure if necessary. Check care-
fully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tyre rotation*:
Tyres should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000
miles) for Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models and
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
models. However, the timing for tyre rotation may
vary according to your driving habits and road sur-
face conditions.
Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle pull to either side while driving on a
straight and level road, or if you detect uneven or
abnormal tyre wear, there may be a need for wheel
alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at
normal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
Wheel nuts:
When checking the tyres, make sure no wheel nuts
are missing, and check for any loose wheel nuts.
Tighten if necessary.Windscreen:
Clean the windscreen on a regular basis. Check the
windscreen at least every six months for cracks or
other damage. Have a damaged windscreen re-
paired by a qualified repair facility.
Wiper blades*:
Check for cracks or wear if they do not wipe prop-
erly.
Under the bonnet and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically, e.g. each time you check the
engine oil or refuel.
Battery*:
Check if the green indicator on the top of the main-
tenance free battery is visible. If it is not visible,
replace the battery as soon as possible.

severe conditions, check the fluid level frequently.
Brake and clutch fluid level*:
Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid level is
between the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.
Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belts*:
Make sure that the drive belts are not frayed, worn,
cracked or oily.Engine oil level*:
Check the level after parking the vehicle on a level
surface and turning off the engine.
Fluid leaks:
Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other
fluid leaks after the vehicle has been parked for a
while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after
use is normal. If you should notice any leaks or if
petrol fumes are evident, check for the cause and
have it corrected immediately.
Window washer fluid*:
Check that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on a regular basis, such as when perform-
ing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make
sure that the pedal does not catch or require uneven
effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.
Brake pedal*:
Check the pedal for smooth operation. If the brake
pedal suddenly goes down further than normal, the
pedal feels spongy or the vehicle seems to take
longer to stop, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop immediately. Keep the floor mat away
from the pedal.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself8-3

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING
Never remove the engine coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure fluid es-
caping from the engine coolant reservoir. Wait
until the engine and radiator have cooled
down.
Engine coolant is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers out of
the reach of children.
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a high-quality, year-round and extended life en-
gine coolant. The high quality engine coolant con-
tains the specific solutions effective for the anti-cor-
rosion and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, addi-
tional cooling system additives are not necessary.
CAUTION
When adding or replacing engine coolant, be
sure to use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant
or equivalent.
The use of other types of engine coolant may
damage the engine cooling system.
The engine coolant reservoir tank is equipped
with a pressure cap, use a Genuine NISSAN
cap or its equivalent when replacement is re-
quired.
CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL
Check the coolant level in the reservoir when the
engine is cold. If the coolant level is below MINj2,
add coolant up to the MAXj1 level.
CAUTION
If the cooling system frequently requires coolant,
have it checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
CAUTION
Major cooling system repairs should be per-
formed by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. The service procedures can be found in
the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
When checking or replacement is required,
NISSAN recommends contacting a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop for servicing.
Improper servicing or engine coolant change
can result in reduced heater performance and
engine overheating.
WARNING
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never
change the coolant when the engine is hot.
Avoid direct skin contact with used coolant. If
skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner and plenty of water as
soon as possible.
Keep coolant out of reach of children and
pets.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.
