Front passenger air bag sta-
tus light
The front passenger air bag status light
(), located on the center of the instru-
ment 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
operation, see “NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System (front seats)” (P.1-36) of this man-
ual.
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the
low beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes
on steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control malfunction.
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 ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-
25).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady
— An emission control system mal-
function 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 in-
spected. 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 decel- eration.
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 re-
commended 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, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control sys-
tem.

Rear fog light indicator light (if
so equipped)
The rear fog light indicator light illumi-
nates when the rear fog light is on. (See
“Fog light switch” (P.2-38).)
Security indicator light
The light blinks when the ignition switch
is in the ACC, OFF or 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-
29).
Soft top indicator light (Road-
ster models)
This light illuminates when the soft top is
being operated or it is stopped before
reaching a full open/close state. When the
top is fully opened or closed, the light will
turn off.
The light blinks while the soft top is not
fully opened or closed under the following
conditions:
. When the vehicle is driven. .
When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
Be sure to fully open or close the soft top
when driving the vehicle.
The soft top can be moved with the soft
top operating switch only under all of the
following conditions:
. When the vehicle is stopped.
. When the ignition switch is ON.
. When the trunk is closed.
. When the shift lever is in a position
other than the R (Reverse) position.
CAUTION
Operate the soft top with the engine
running to prevent a discharged
battery.
When the soft top is operating, if any of
the above conditions are discontinued or
any of the following conditions are met,
the top will stop operating.
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
. When the vehicle moves at a speed of
3 MPH (5 km/h) or more.
. When the battery voltage is extremely
low. .
When the temperature of the soft top
system becomes extremely high.
Release the operating switch, and push it
again under the above conditions until
the top is fully opened or closed. The soft
top indicator light will turn off when the
top operation is completely finished.
If the soft top indicator light illuminates
with the ignition switch ON, it may
indicate the electric soft top control unit
is not functioning properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
For more details about the electric soft
top operation, see “Soft top (Roadster
models)” (P.3-23).

MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the set time
comes for changing the engine oil. You
can set or reset the distance for changing
the engine oil. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-
23).)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not
a substitute for regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-33).
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road
conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the
tire replacement indicator for a cer-tain driving distance does not mean
your tires will last that long. Use the
tire replacement indicator as a guide
only and always perform regular tire
checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to a collision, which
could result in serious personal in-
jury or death.
