FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximate
fuel level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going
up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty)
after the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “0” (Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
vehicle information display when the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the gauge reaches “0”. There will be a small reserve
of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge
needle reaches “0”.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the driver’s side of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
. If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light
(MIL) may come on. Refuel as
soon as possible. After a few
driving trips, the
light should
turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the
vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P.2-17).WAC0219X
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrica-
tion system oil pressure while the engine
is running. When the engine speed is high,
the engine oil pressure is also high. When
it is low, the gauge indicates the low (L) oil
pressure.
The engine oil pressure is normal when
the gauge points within the zone
shown in the illustration.
CAUTION
.This gauge is not designed to
indicate low engine oil level. Use

the dipstick to check the oil level.
(See “Engine oil” (P.8-6).)
. If the gauge does not move with
the proper amount of engine oil,
have the vehicle checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Continued
vehicle operation in such a con-
dition could cause serious da-
mage to the engine.
WAC0220X
VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the volt meter indicates the
battery voltage. When the engine is run-
ning, it indicates the generator voltage.
While cranking the engine, the volt drop
below the normal range
. If the gauge is
not in the normal range (10.5 to 15.5 volt)
while the engine is running, it may
indicate that the charging system is not
functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
METER ILLUMINATION AND NEEDLE
SWEEP
The illumination of meters and gauges
illuminates when the driver’s door is
closed after getting into the vehicle with
the Intelligent Key carried in.
When the engine is started, the indicator
needles will sweep in the speedometer
and tachometer, and the illumination will
be brightened gradually.
This function can be turned on or off. (See
“Customize Display” (P.2-25).)

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.2-19).)
WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS (red)
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.
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.5-124).)
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.
Instruments and controls2-11

2-12Instruments and controls
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.2-14).)
WARNING
.Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
. Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as 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 you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
Charge warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate the charging
system is not functioning properly. Turn
the engine off and check the alternator
belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or
if the light remains on, have your vehicle
serviced immediately. It is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alter-
nator belt is loose, broken or miss-
ing.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
This light warns of low engine oil pres-
sure. If the light flickers or comes on
during normal driving, pull off the road in
a safe area, stop the engine immediately
and call a NISSAN dealer or other author-
ized 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.
(See “Engine oil” (P.8-6).)
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 covered by warranty. Turn off the
engine as soon as it is safe to do so.
