Low Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
warning light
When this warning light illuminates, the DEF fluid
needs to be topped off.
For additional information, refer to the “Fuel and
refueling” section of this manual.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning
light
When the warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the
specified amount of the limit in the filter and the
filter needs to regenerate. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)” in
the “Maintenance” section of this manual.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warn-
ing light on without performing the filter
regeneration, this will lead to particle mat-
ter overload in the filter. If this happens,
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will
turn on to indicate the necessity that a
NISSAN or qualified dealer performs the
service regeneration. The performance of
the engine might be limited to protect the
DPF system.
Vehicle information display
The vehicle information display shows various
meters and gauges that pertain to the diesel
engine. The information that can be found within
the vehicle information display is as follows:
Exhaust temperature gauge
The exhaust temperature gauge is part of the
Auxiliary Gauges in the vehicle information dis-
play.
Turbo meter
The turbo meter shows the amount of engine
boost.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) LEVEL
This gauge indicates the level of DEF in the diesel
system.
The DEF LEVEL information screen can be
turned ON/OFF in the vehicle information display.
For additional information, refer to “How to use
the vehicle information display” in the “Vehicle
information display” section of the owner’s
manual.
Water in Fuel warning light
If this light illuminates, pull off of the road in a safe
area, stop the engine and immediately drain the
water from the fuel sediment filter. For additional
information, refer to “Draining water” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
Malfunction Warning Light (red)
If the warning light illuminates this indicates either
coolant temperature is above a critical threshold
or the exhaust temperatures are above a critical
threshold. When illuminated this lamp indicates
the need to stop the engine as soon as it can be
safely done. The engine must remain shut down
until the engine can be repaired.
