The shoulder belt anchor height should be adjusted
to the position best for you (see “Precautions on
seat belt usage” earlier in this section).
To adjust, depress the adjustment button as illus-
trated and move the shoulder belt anchor to the
appropriate position, so that the belt passes over the centre of the shoulder. Release the adjustment
button to lock the shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
After adjustment, release the adjustment but-
ton and check by moving the shoulder belt
assembly up and down to make sure the
shoulder belt anchor is securely fixed in posi-
tion.
The seat belt should be away from your face
and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
Checking the seat belt operation
Your seat belt retractors are designed to lock the
belt movement in two separate situations:
When the belt is pulled quickly from the retrac-
tor.
When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the belts, check the
operation as follows:
Take place in the seat for which you wish to check
the belt operation. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull
quickly forward. The retractor should lock and re-
strict further belt movement.
If the retractor does not lock during these checks or
if you have any questions about the seat belt opera-
tion, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a mild
soap solution or any solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpets. Then brush it,
wipe with a cloth and allow it to dry in the shade.
Do not allow the seat belts to retract until they
are completely dry.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of
the seat belt anchors, the seat belts may retract
slowly. Wipe the shoulder belt guide with a clean,
dry cloth.
Periodically check to see whether the seat
belt and the metal components such as buck-
les, tongues, retractors, flexible wires and an-
chors work properly. If loose parts, deteriora-
tion, cuts or other damage to the webbing is
found, the entire belt assembly should be re-
placed.

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 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.

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

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.
