WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

SSS0508
FRONT-SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RE-
STRAINT
The Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback
receives from the occupant in a rear-end
collision. The movement of the head
restraint helps support the occupant’s
head by reducing its backward move-
ment and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type
injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for
collisions at low to medium speeds in
which it is said that whiplash injury occurs
most.
Active Head Restraints operate only incertain rear-end collisions. After the colli-
sion, the head restraints return to their
original position.
Adjust the Active Head Restraints prop-
erly as described earlier in this section.

WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

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) will
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 between the speedometer and tach-
ometer. (See “Vehicle information display”
(P.2-20).)
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.5-130).)
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system warning light
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. It
turns off after the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB) system is set to
OFF on the center display.
If the light illuminates when the AEB system is ON, it may indicate that the
system is unavailable. See “Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB)” (P.5-98) for
more details.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in 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.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
oil temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Transmission (AT) oil temperature is too
high. If the light illuminates while driving,
reduce the vehicle speed as soon as
safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when
the AT oil temperature warning light
is on may damage the AT.
Instruments and controls2-11

2-12Instruments and controls
Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (4WD models)
This light indicates that the Automatic
Transmission (AT) parking function is not
engaged. If the transfer control is not
secured in any driving position while the
AT shift lever is in the “P” (Park) position,
the transmission will disengage and the
wheels will not lock.
If the AT park warning light illuminates
with the shift lever in the P (Park)
position, shift the Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) shift switch to the AUTO, 4H or
4L position again with the shift lever in
the N (Neutral) position. (See “NISSAN all-
mode 4WD®” (P.5-116).)
Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/
Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention
(I-BSI) system warning light (or-
ange; if so equipped)
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the indicator light will first
illuminate in orange and turn green
before turning off. This indicates that
the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Intelli-
gent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) sys-
tems are operational.
If the light comes on in orange and
remains on, it may indicate that the BSW and I-BSI systems are not functioning
properly. Although the vehicle is still
driveable, have the systems checked. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. See “Blind Spot Warning
(BSW)” (P.5-32) and “Intelligent Blind Spot
Intervention (I-BSI)” (P.5-40).
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. If brake
fluid is low, add fluid and have the
system checked. It is recommended
you have this service performed by a
NISSAN dealer. (See “Brake 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.
Low hydraulic pressure warning indica-
tor:
If the brake warning light illuminates
when the engine is running, or while
driving with the parking brake is released,
check the brake fluid level. If the brake
fluid level is sufficient, it may indicate low
hydraulic pressure in the brake booster. It
is recommended that you have the brake
system checked by a NISSAN dealer
promptly.
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
system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-11).)
