2017 NISSAN ARMADA warning lights

2-18Instruments and controls
Check suspension indicator light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on for 2 seconds.
Cruise indicator light (if so
equipped)
Cruise main switch indicator:
This light illuminates when the cruise control
main switch is pushed. The light turns off when
the main switch is pushed again. When the
cruise main switch indicator light illuminates, the
cruise control system is operational. (See
“Cruise control” (P.5-67).)
Cruise malfunction:
If the cruise indicator light blinks while the
engine is running, it may indicate the cruise
control system is not functioning properly. Have
the system checked. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service. (See “Cruise
control” (P.5-67) .)
Exterior light indicator
This indicator illuminates when the headlight
switch is turned to the AUTO,orposition and the front parking lights, instrument
panel lights, rear combination lights, license
plate lights or headlights are on. The indicator turns off when these lights are turned off.
Front fog light indicator light (if so
equipped)
The front fog light indicator light illuminates
when the front fog lights are on. (See “Fog light
switch” (P.2-42) .)
Front passenger air bag status light
The front passenger air bag status light ()
located on the instrument panel will be lit and
the passenger front air bag will be OFF
depending on how the front passenger seat is
being used.
For front passenger air bag status light opera-
tion, see “NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System
(front seats)” (P.1-58) .
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
ON indicator light (green; if so equipped)
The light comes on in green when the Lane
Departure Prevention (LDP) system is turned on.
The light turns off when the system is turned off.
NOTE:
This light is common with the Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW) indicator light (or-
ange) . (See “Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) indicator light” (P.2-14) .)
For more details, see “Lane Departure Warning
(LDW)/Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)” (P.5-
23) .
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
If 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 (14 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 “Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-32) .)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
.Malfunction indicator light on steady — 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 thelight 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 — 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.
Security indicator light
The light blinks when the ignition switch is in the
ACC, OFF and LOCK position. This function
indicates the security system equipped on the
vehicle is operational.
If the security system is malfunctioning, this light
will remain on while the ignition switch is in the
ON position. For additional information, see
“Security systems” (P.2-30) .
SNOW mode indicator light
When selecting SNOW mode while the engine
is running, this light will illuminate. (See “SNOW
mode” (P.5-132) .)
TOW mode indicator light
This light will illuminate when the TOW MODE is
selected while the engine is running. (See
“TOW mode” (P.5-132) .)
Turn signal/hazard indicator lights
The light flashes when the turn signal switch
lever or hazard switch is turned on.

the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) off indicator
light illuminates and then turns off.
The light comes on when the VDC off switch is
pushed to OFF. This indicates that the VDC
system is not operating.
When the 4L position is selected with the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) shift switch, the VDC
system is disabled and the VDC off indicator
light illuminates. (4WD models)

Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-
ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it
will make a high pitched scraping sound when
the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound will
first occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake pad,
the sound will always be heard even if the brake
pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the warning
sound is heard.

was turned off.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the remote engine
start function. See “Conditions the remote engine start will not work” (P.3-20) .
Other conditions can affect the performance of
the Intelligent Key transmitter. See “Intelligent
Key system” (P.3-7) for additional information.

The remote engine start function can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged or
other strong radio wave sources are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent Key
operating range becomes narrower, and the
Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
