WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
2-4Instruments and controls

Door lock indicator light
(where fitted)
The door lock indicator light located on the instru-
ment panel illuminates when all the doors are locked
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
•When the doors are locked with the power door
lock switch, the door lock indicator light will illu-
minate for 30 minutes.
•When the doors are locked by pushing the
LOCK button on the Intelligent Key or any re-
quest switch (where fitted), the door lock indica-
tor light will illuminate for 1 minute.
•The door lock indicator light turns off when any

tion.
Electronic Stability Programme
(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.
This light also comes on briefly when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. The light will
turn off after approximately 1 second if the ESP sys-
tem is operational.
When the ESP OFF indicator light and SLIP indica-tor light (see “SLIP indicator light (where fitted)”
later in this section) come on with the ESP system
turned on, it alerts the driver to the fact that the sys-
tem’s fail-safe mode is operating. This means that
the system may not be functioning properly. Have
the system checked by your NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the ESP sys-
tem function will be cancelled, but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.

DYNAMIC HIGH BEAM ASSISTANT
(where fitted)
A camera-controlled high beam assistant which
changes from low beam to high beam automatically.Precautions:
WARNING
The dynamic high beam assistant cannot com-
pensate for road and weather circumstances
while driving. The system saves the driver from
having to operate the switch. The driver always
remains responsible for choosing the correct
light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the head
light switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general poor
visibility and bad weather conditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered
or broken.
Dynamic high beam assistant activated:
When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position,
the light sensor detects darkness, and the vehicle
speed is over 20 km/h (15 MPH), the dynamic high
beam assistant is operational. The dynamic high
beam assistant indicator light
in the instrument
panel is on.
The system operates as follows:
•High beam comes on automatically in dark con-
ditions:
If the vehicle speed is over 40 km/h (25 MPH)
and no other road users are recognised.
The
high beam light (blue) comes on addi-
tionally.
•High beam turns off automatically:
If the vehicle speed drops below 25 km/h (15
MPH) or other road users are detected.
The
High beam light (blue) turns off.
To disable the dynamic high beam assistant:
To turn the dynamic high beam assistant off turn the
head light switch to the OFF,
,orposi-
tion.
“Friendly Lighting”
The “Friendly Lighting” function is a convenience
facility. It allows you to provide lighting from the
vehicle after the ignition switch has been turned to
the LOCK position and the headlight switch is in the
OFF or AUTO (where fitted) position. Pulling the
headlight switch toward you once will activate the
headlight for approximately 30 seconds. After that
period of time, it will automatically switch off.
It is possible to pull the headlight switch up to four
times to increase the lighting period up to 2 minutes.
NOTE
The “Friendly Lighting” function can be cancelled
by switching the ignition switch to the Acc or ON
position again.
Battery save function
The battery save feature prevents your vehicle from
discharging the battery after you have left the exter-
nal lights, map lamps or room lamps on when exit-
ing the vehicle. This occurs when the ignition switch
or ignition knob is switched to the “OFF” or LOCK
position after the engine has been running.
