CHECKING LIGHTS
With all doors closed, apply the parking
brake, fasten the seat belts and place the
ignition switch in the ON position without
starting the engine. The following lights (if
so equipped) will come on:
,or,,
The following lights (if so equipped) come
on briefly and then go off:
,or,,,,,
If any light does not come on or operates
in a way other than described, it may
indicate a burned-out bulb and/or a
system malfunction. It is recommended
you have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed on the vehicle information dis-
play. (See “Vehicle information display”
(P.2-19).)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking Sys-
tem (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake sys-
tem” (P.5-27).)
Automatic transmission check
warning light (if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the light comes on for 2
seconds. If the light comes on at any
other time, it may indicate the transmis-
sion is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
to check and repair the transmission.
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light comes on when the
parking brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light:
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake
fluid level. If the light comes on while the
engine is running with the parking brake
not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake
fluid as necessary. (See “Brake and
clutch fluid” (P.8-9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is
recommended you have this service
performed by a NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:
When the parking brake is released and
the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both
the brake warning light and the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake
Instruments and controls2-11

mately 15 minutes.
CAUTION
. When cleaning the inner side of
the rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the rear win-
dow defroster.
. Do not use the rear window
defroster switch while the soft
top is being operated or fully
opened. The heat may damage
the top material and/or compo-
nents (for Roadster models).
XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
. When xenon headlights are on,
they produce a high voltage. To
prevent an electric shock, never
attempt to modify or disassem-
ble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced by a certified
service technician.
. Xenon headlights provide consid-
erably more light than conven-
tional headlights. If they are not
correctly aimed, they might tem-
porarily blind an oncoming driver
or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If head-
lights are not aimed correctly, it is
recommended you immediately
take your vehicle to a NISSAN
dealer and have the headlights
adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and bright-
ness 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
drastically 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.
