Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
GUID-5A9BB12B-5478-42C2-BF85-08F700A010D9When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning
light illuminates and then turns off.
The light will blink when the VDC system or the
traction control system is operating, thus alerting
the driver that the vehicle is nearing its traction
limits. The road surface may be slippery.
When the VDC warning light illuminates when the VDC system is turned on, this light alerts the
driver to the fact that the VDC system's fail-safe
mode is operating, for example the VDC system
may not be functioning properly. Have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. If a malfunction
occurs in the system, the VDC system function
will be canceled but the vehicle is still driveable.
For additional information, see ªVehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) systemº (P.5-29) of this manual.

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)GUID-9E78C1B0-5871-4B15-924B-0676AB904329If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See ªReadiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) testº (P.10-24) .)
Operation:
GUID-0D441637-68C6-4091-800D-3B0432A1AC46The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady Ð An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel-filler cap if
the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears in
the vehicle information display. If the fuel- filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install
the cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off after a few
driving trips. If the
light does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed to the
dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking Ð An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h) .
2) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.

GUID-C78E52EF-F6E0-48AF-BEB5-A477EF5D0C0FXENON HEADLIGHTSGUID-330D10D4-6990-4E22-991A-8739067F8CB9
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
. When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent
an electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. Always have
your xenon headlights replaced by a
certified service technician.
. Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, it is recommended you
immediately take your vehicle to a
NISSAN dealer and have the head-
lights adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.
. The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera- tion. It is generally desirable not to turn
off the headlights for short intervals
(for example, when the vehicle stops at
a traffic signal) .
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.
