2014 NISSAN SENTRA engine light is on

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
(Canada only)
The headlights automatically illuminate at 100%
intensity (Low beam is used for the Daytime
Running Light System) when the engine is
started and the parking brake is released. The
daytime running lights operate with the headlight
switch in the OFF position. When the daytime
running light system is active, the clearance
lights, front side marker lights, tail lights and rear
side marker lights are also On.
When you turn the headlight switch to
the
position for full illumination when driv-
ing at night you will not notice any difference in
the Low Beam.
If the parking brake is applied before the engine is
started, the daytime running lights do not illumi-
nate. The daytime running lights illuminate when
the parking brake is released. The daytime run-
ning lights remain on while the engine is running.
It is necessary at dusk to turn headlight switch
ON for interior controls and switches to illumi-
nate, as those remain OFF while switch is in the
OFF position.

Check tire pressure warning message
The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message is
displayed when the low tire pressure warning
light is illuminated and low tire pressure is de-
tected. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. The CHECK
TIRE PRES warning message turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off.
The low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure. The CHECK TIRE
PRES warning message is displayed each time
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position aslong as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated. For more information see “Low
tire pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” and
“Wheels and tires” section in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of this Owner’s
Manual.

lutions per minute (rpm) . Do not rev engine into

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be placed in the
ON position for the gauge to give a reading.
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the reading is within the zone
Ashown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates a coolant tempera-
ture near the hot (H) end of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
the temperature. If the gauge is over the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine. See “If
your vehicle overheats” in the “In case of
emergency” section for immediate action
required

turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The low fuel warning light comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
