the electric power steering warning light illu-

minates. After starting the engine, the electric

power steering warning light turns off. This

indicates the electric power steering is opera-

tional.

If the electric power steering warning light

illuminates while the engine is running, it may

indicate the electric power steering is not

functioning properly and may need servicing.

Have the electric power steering checked by a

NISSAN dealer.

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 steering wheel, especially in sharp

turns and at low speeds.

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,

the Intelligent Emergency Braking system

warning light illuminates. After starting the

engine, the warning light turns off.

This light illuminates when the Intelligent

Emergency Braking system is set to OFF on

Emergency Braking system is ON, it may

indicate that the system is unavailable. See

“Intelligent Emergency Braking” (P.5-133) or

“Intelligent Emergency Braking with pedestrian

detection system” (P.5-138).

Charge warning light

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,

the charge warning light illuminates, and then

turns off. This indicates the charging system is

operational.

If the charge warning light illuminates while the

engine is running, or while driving, it may

indicate the charging system is not functioning

properly and may need servicing.

When the charge warning light illuminates

while driving, stop the vehicle safely as soon

as possible. Stop the engine and check the

alternator belt. If the alternator belt is loose,

broken or missing, the charging system needs

repair. (See “Drive belt” (P.8-21).)

If the alternator belt appears to be functioning

correctly but the charge warning light remains

illuminated, have the charging system checked

by a NISSAN dealer promptly.

Low tire pressure warning light (if

equipped)

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,

the low tire pressure warning light illuminates

and then turns off. This indicates that the low

tire pressure warning system is operational.

(See “Electric power steering” (P.5-155).)

This light illuminates if there is low tire pressure

or a tire pressure warning system malfunction.

CAUTION:

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

monitors the tire pressure of all tires except the

spare.

Electronic parking brake system

warning light (yellow) (if equipped)

Do not continue driving if the alternator belt

is loose, broken or missing.

The electronic parking brake system warning

light functions for the electronic parking brake

system. If the warning light illuminates at any

time, it may indicate that the electronic parking

brake system is not functioning properly. Have

the brake system checked, and if necessary

repaired, by a NISSAN dealer promptly.

Low tire pressure warning:

If the vehicle is being driven with low tire

pressure, the low tire pressure warning light

will illuminate.

When the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates, you should stop and adjust the tire

pressure to the recommended COLD tire pres-

sure shown on the tire placard. Use a tire

pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. The

Instruments and controls 2-15

low tire pressure warning light may not auto-

matically turn off when the tire pressure is

adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the

recommended pressure, reset the tire pres-

sures registered in your vehicle (model with

TPMS reset function) and then drive the vehicle

at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). These

operations are required to activate the TPMS

and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.

and/or system resetting.

WARNING:

.

Replacing tires with those not originally

specified by NISSAN could affect the

proper operation of the TPMS.

.

If the light does not illuminate with the

ignition switch placed in the “ON” posi-

tion, have the vehicle checked by

a

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION:

If the light illuminates while driving, avoid

sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt

braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off

the road to a safe location and stop the

vehicle as soon as possible. Driving with

under-inflated tires may permanently

damage the tires and increase the like-

lihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle

damage could occur and may lead to an

accident and could result in serious

personal injury. Check the tire pressure

for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure

to the recommended COLD tire pressure

shown on the tire placard to turn the low

tire pressure warning light off. If the light

still illuminates while driving after adjust-

ing 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 ve-

hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer.

After adjusting the tire pressure, be sure

to reset the TPMS. Otherwise, the TPMS

will not warn of low tire pressure (model

with TPMS reset function).

Since the spare tire is not equipped with

the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted

or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not

function and the low tire pressure warn-

ing light will flash for approximately 1

minute. The light will remain on after the

1 minute. Contact your NISSAN dealer as

soon as possible for tire replacement

.

The TPMS is not a substitute for the

regular tire pressure check. Be sure to

check the tire pressure regularly.

Model with TPMS reset function:

TPMS resetting must be also performed after a

tire or a wheel is replaced, or the tires are

rotated.

Depending on a change in the outside tem-

perature, the low tire pressure warning light

may illuminate even if the tire pressure has

been adjusted properly. Adjust the tire pressure

to the recommended COLD tire pressure again

when the tires are cold, and reset the TPMS.

If the low tire pressure warning light still

continues to illuminate after the resetting

operation, it may indicate that the TPMS is

not functioning properly. Have the system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.

If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of

less than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS

may not operate correctly.

Be sure to install the specified size of tires

to all four wheels correctly.

Malfunction Warning Light (MWL)

(red) (if equipped)

When the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”

position, the Malfunction Warning Light (MWL)

illuminates in red. This means that the system

is operational. After starting the engine, the

MWL turns off.

For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL), see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”

(P.2-20) for details.

If the MWL (red) illuminates continuously while

the engine is running, it may indicate an engine

control system malfunction. Have your vehicle

inspected by a NISSAN dealer. You do not need

to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

For additional information, see “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-9).
