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.5-129).)
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the AEB system warning light
illuminates. After starting the engine, the
warning light turns off.
This light illuminates when the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system is set to OFF
on the vehicle information display.
If the light illuminates when the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system is ON, it may
indicate that the system is unavailable.
See “Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
with Pedestrian Detection system” (P.5-
97) or “Intelligent Forward Collision Warn-
ing (I-FCW)” (P.5-107).
Electric power steering warn-
ing light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the electric power steering
warning light illuminates. After starting
the engine, the electric power steering
warning light turns off. This indicates the
electric power steering is operational.
If the electric power steering warning
light illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, it may indicate the electric power
steering is not functioning properly and
may need servicing. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
When the electric power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine running,
the power assist to the steering will cease
operation but you will still have control of
the vehicle. At this time, greater steering
efforts are required to operate the steer-
ing wheel, especially in sharp turns and at
low speeds.
(See “Electric power steering” (P.5-128).)
orElectronic parking
brake warning light (if so equipped)
The electronic parking brake warning
light functions for the electronic parking
brake system. If the warning light illumi-
nates, it may indicate that the electronic
parking brake system is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked,
and, if necessary, repaired. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
monitors the tire pressure of all tires
except the spare tire (if so equipped).
The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, this light illuminates for
about 1 second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
also appears in the vehicle information
display.
