POWER METER
The power meter indicates the condition of the
electric motor. When the needle is between the
center and “charge” (
1range) , this indicates
that the electric motor is generating power to
recharge the Li-ion battery.
When the needle is between the center and the
PWR side, this indicates that the electric motor is
powering the drive wheels and the Li-ion battery
is discharging.

WARNING LIGHTS
For additional information on warnings and indi-
cators, see “Vehicle information display” later in
this section.
Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light illuminates and then turns off. This
indicates the ABS is operational.
If the ABS light comes on while the hybrid system
is running, it may indicate the anti-lock braking
system is not functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer. If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock func-
tion is turned off. The brake system then operates
normally, but without anti-lock assistance. See
“Brake system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of the Owner’s Manual.
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake and
the foot brake systems.
● Parking brake indicator
● Low brake fluid warning light
● Hydraulic brake system warning light Parking brake indicator
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, the light comes on when the parking brake
is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, the light warns of a low brake fluid level.
Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as
necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of your NISSAN Own-
er’s Manual. If the brake fluid level is correct, see
“Hydraulic brake system warning light” in this
section.
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-3

Hydraulic brake system warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, this light warns that the hydraulic brake
system is not functioning properly. If the brake
warning light comes on with the parking brake not
applied when the hybrid system is in READY
mode, perform the following:1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of your
NISSAN Owner’s Manual.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
If the hydraulic brake warning light comes on
when the parking brake is not applied and the
electronically controlled brake system warning
light also comes on, stop the vehicle immediately
and call a NISSAN dealer.WARNING
● Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on. Driv-
ing could be dangerous. If you judge it
to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driv-
ing it could be dangerous.
● Pressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
● If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer. ●
Your brake system may not be working
properly if both the brake warning light
and electronically controlled brake sys-
tem light come on when the hybrid sys-
tem is in READY mode and the parking
brake is not applied. Driving could be
dangerous. If you judge it to be safe,
drive carefully to the nearest service
station for repairs. Otherwise, have your
vehicle towed because driving it could
be dangerous.
12–volt battery charge warning
light
If the light comes on when the READY indicator
comes ON, it may indicate the charging system is
not functioning properly. See a NISSAN dealer
immediately.
CAUTION
The charging system may not be function-
ing properly if the 12–volt battery charge
warning light comes on while the hybrid
system is running. The hybrid system will
stop operating when the 12–volt battery
becomes discharged. Immediately stop
the vehicle in a safe place and contact a
NISSAN dealer.

Hybrid system warning light
The hybrid system warning light comes on when:● The amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
● There is a problem with the traction motor or
other hybrid system components.
If the fuel gauge indicates the fuel level is low,
refill the fuel tank immediately. See “Fuel gauge”
earlier in this section. After the fuel tank is filled,
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position,
and the hybrid system is in the READY mode, the
hybrid system warning light should be off.
If the fuel gauge indicates a sufficient fuel level, or
if the hybrid system warning light comes on after
refilling the tank, there may be a problem with the
traction motor or other hybrid system compo-
nents. Stop your vehicle immediately and contact
your NISSAN dealer.
Electronically controlled brake warning light (yellow)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position and the hybrid system is in the READY
mode, the light stays on for about 2 seconds. If
the light comes on at any other time, it may
indicate the regenerative brake and/or the elec- tronically controlled brake systems are not func-
tioning properly. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
If the hydraulic brake warning light also comes on
when the parking brake is not applied, stop the
vehicle
immediately and call a NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see “Brake system” in
the “Starting and driving” section of the NISSAN
Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
● Your brake system may not be working
properly if both the brake warning light
and electronically controlled brake sys-
tem light come on when the hybrid sys-
tem is in READY mode and the parking
brake is not applied. Driving could be
dangerous. If you judge it to be safe,
drive carefully to the nearest service
station for repairs. Otherwise, have your
vehicle towed because driving it could
be dangerous.

This warning appears when the temperature of
the hybrid system is extremely high. Stop the
vehicle in a safe location as soon as possible. Avoid quick starting or abrupt acceleration.
When the warning turns off, the vehicle can be
driven.
If the warning appears again soon after it turns
off, have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
Do not drive the vehicle with the warning
on. Doing so could cause a hybrid system
malfunction.

If the high temperature warning appears
when the ignition switch is in the ON po-
sition, stop the vehicle safely as soon as
possible.
If the vehicle is overheated, continuing
vehicle operation may seriously damage
the engine.
Shift to Park Li-ion battery low
This warning appears when the shift lever is in the
“N” position and level of remaining charge in the
Li-ion battery is low.
When this warning appears, place the shift lever
in the P (Park) position. This will turn off in the
following conditions.
When the shift lever has been placed in the P
(Park) position. HV System Warm Up Please Wait In Park

WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in
an emergency. (The NISSAN PURE-
DRIVE™ Hybrid System will stop when the
ignition switch is pushed 3 consecutive
times or the ignition switch is pushed and
held for more than 2 seconds.) If the hy-
brid system is turned off while the vehicle
is being driven, this could lead to a crash
and serious injury.When the ignition switch is pushed without de-
pressing the brake pedal, the ignition switch will
illuminate.
Push the ignition switch center:● once to change to ACC.
● two times to change to ON.
● three times to return to OFF.
The ignition switch will automatically return to the
LOCK position when any door is either opened or
closed with the switch in the OFF position. The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition
switch position cannot be switched to OFF until
the shift lever is moved to the P (Park) position.
When the ignition switch cannot be pushed to-
ward the OFF position, proceed as follows:
1. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) posi- tion.
2. Push the ignition switch. The ignition switch position will change to the ON position.
3. Push the ignition switch again to the OFF position.
The shift lever can be moved from the P
(Park) position if the ignition switch is in
the ON position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
If the battery of the vehicle is discharged,
the push-button ignition switch cannot be
moved from the LOCK position.
Some indicators and warnings for operation are
displayed on the vehicle information display. See
“Vehicle information display” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
