Automatic Transmission
Park warning light (
model)
WARNING
• If the 4WD mode indicator is off or the
ATP warning light is on, this indicates
that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and
could result in the vehicle moving un-
expectedly, causing serious personal
injury or property damage. Always
set the parking brake. For additional
information, refer to “Using 4–wheel
drive (4WD)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
• If the ATP light is on, this indicates
that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and
the transfer case is in neutral.
• When parking, always make sure that
the 4WD shif t indicator light illumi-
nates and the parking brake is set.
Failure to engage the transfer posi-
tion in 2WD, 4H or 4LO could result in
the vehicle moving unexpectedly, re-
sulting in serious personal injury or
property damage. •
Shif t the 4WD switch into the 2WD, 4H
or 4LO position again to turn off the
ATP warning light when the shif t le-
ver is in the P position and the ATP
warning light is on. (Before shif ting
the 4WD switch into the 4LO position,
move the shif t lever to the N position
once, shif t the shif t lever into P again
and make sure the ATP warning light
is off.)
This light indicates that the automatic
transmission parking function is not en-
gaged. If the transfer control is not secured
in any drive position while the shif t lever is
in the P (Park) position, the transmission will
disengage and the drive wheels will not
lock.
orBrake warning
light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on when the park-
ing brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed 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 ap-
plied, stop the vehicle and perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Brake fluid” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
WARNING
• Your brake system may not be work-
ing properly if the warning light is on.
Driving could be dangerous. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle
towed because driving it could be
dangerous.
2-14Instruments and controls
•Pressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake
fluid level may increase your stop-
ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort and pedal
travel.
• If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It is
recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Charge warning light
If this light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging sys-
tem is not functioning properly. Turn the
engine off and check the generator belt. If
the belt is loose, broken, missing, or if the
light remains on, have the system checked.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
CAUTION
• Do not ground electrical accessories
directly to the battery terminal. Do-
ing so will bypass the variable volt-
age control system (if so equipped)
and the vehicle battery may not
charge completely. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Variable voltage
control system” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.
• Do not continue driving if the genera-
tor belt is loose, broken or missing.
Electric shif t control system
warning light
This light illuminates when a malfunction
occurs in the electric shif t control system.
When the master warning light illuminates,
the chime sounds and the following mes-
sage is displayed in the vehicle information
display: “When parked apply parking brake”.
When the ignition is placed in the OFF posi-
tion, the chime sounds continuously. En-
sure the parking brake is applied
Have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Engine oil pressure
warning light
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If
the light flickers or comes on during nor-
mal driving, pull off the road in a safe area,
stop the engine immediately,and call a
NISSAN dealer or other authorized repair
shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is
not designed to indicate a low oil level.
Use the dipstick to check the oil level. For
additional information, refer to “Engine oil”
in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause
serious damage to the engine almost
immediately. Such damage is not cov-
ered by warranty. Turn off the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) that moni-
tors the tire pressure of all tires except the
spare.
Instruments and controls2-15
•If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the
tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an acci-
dent and could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure show on the Tire
and Loading Information label lo-
cated in the driver’s door opening to
turn the low tire pressure warning
light off. If the light still illuminates
while driving af ter adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or the
TPMS may be malfunctioning. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a spare
tire as soon as possible. If no tire is
flat and all tires are properly inflated,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. •
When replacing a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will
remain on af ter 1 minute. Have your
tires replaced and/or TPMS system
reset as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for these services.
• Replacing tires with those not origi-
nally specified by NISSAN could af-
fect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
the TPMS may not operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of
tires to the four wheels correctly.
Master warning light
This light comes on when various vehicle
information display warnings appear.
• No key warning
• Low fuel warning
• Low windshield-washer fluid warning
• Parking brake release warning
• Loose fuel cap warning
• Low tire pressure warning
• 4WD error (if so equipped)
• Front & rear tire size differences (if so equipped)
• Transmission system warning
Rear Automatic Braking
(RAB) system warning light
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. It turns
off af ter the engine is started.
This light illuminates when the RAB system
is turned off in the vehicle information dis-
play.

Maintenance
The maintenance menu allows the user to set reminders for various vehicle maintenance items.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Changing wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this manual. 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 certain 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 injury or death.
