Reminder: Turn OFF
Headlights
This warning appears when the headlights
are lef t in the ON position when exiting the
vehicle. Place the headlight switch in the
OFF (if so equipped) or AUTO position. For
additional information, see “Headlight and
turn signal switch” (P. 2-46).
Rotate the steering and
push the start switch
This warning appears when the steering
lock cannot be unlocked or is malfunction-
ing. This warning may appear if the steer-
ing wheel is not aligned with the locking
mechanism. If this warning appears, lightly
turn the steering wheel right and lef t to
realign the steering wheel position with the
locking mechanism, and then push the
ignition switch to ON. This warning will re-
main on until the steering lock is realigned
with the locking mechanism and the igni-
tion switch has been pressed to ON, or until
15 seconds has elapsed. If the warning con-
tinues to appear even af ter realignment,
have the system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.The Master warning light will remain illumi-
nated until the Electrical steering lock re-
lease warning is cleared.
Shif t to Park
This warning appears when the ignition
switch is in the ACC or OFF position and the
shif t lever is not in the P (Park) position. Also,
a chime sounds when the ignition switch is
in the ACC or OFF position.
If this warning appears, move the shif t lever
to the P (Park) position and start the engine.
Shipping Mode On Push Storage Fuse
This warning may appear if the extended
storage switch is not pushed in. When this
warning appears, push in the extended
storage switch to turn off the warning. For
additional information, see “Extended stor-
age switch” (P. 2-63).
SPORT
This indicator appears when sport mode
is activated. The sport mode screen will
remain on for about 6 seconds unless the
driver dismisses the notification early using
the vehicle information display switches.
For additional information, see “Sport
mode” (P. 5-23).
Tire
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance is reached for replacing tires.
You can set or reset the distance for replac-
ing tires.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-
tional information, see “Changing
wheels and tires” (P. 8-36). Many factors
including tire inflation, alignment, driv-
ing habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement in-
dicator 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 pres-
sure 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.
