Warning (LDW)/Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI)” (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 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
(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 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-
33).)
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.

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.
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).

MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the custo-
mer set time comes for changing the
engine oil. You can set or reset the
distance for changing the engine oil.
(See “Trip computer” (P.2-27).)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the custo-
mer set time comes for replacing the oil

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not
a substitute for regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-37).
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road
conditions affect tire wear and whentires 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.
