light

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON or

ing light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then

turns off if the SRS air bag systems are opera-

tional. This means the system is operational.

taken to a NISSAN dealer:

● The supplemental air bag warning light re-

mains on after approximately 7 seconds.

● The supplemental air bag warning light

flashes intermittently.

● The supplemental air bag warning light does

not come on at all.

Unless checked and repaired, the supplemental

restraint systems (air bag systems) may not func-

tion properly. For additional information, refer to

“Supplemental restraint system” in the “Safety—

Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint sys-

tem” section of this manual.

WARNING

If the supplemental air bag warning light

is on, it could mean that the supplemental

front air bag and/or pretensioner systems

will not operate in an accident. To help

avoid injury to yourself or others, have

your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer

as soon as possible.

Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL)

If this indicator light comes on steady or blinks

while the engine is running, it may indicate a

potential emission control malfunction.

The

may also come on steady if the fuel-

filler cap is loose or missing, or if the vehicle runs

out of fuel. Check to make sure the fuel-filler cap

is installed and closed tightly, and that the vehicle

has at least 3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel in the fuel tank.

After a few driving trips, the

light should

turn off if no other potential emission control

system malfunction exists.

If this indicator light comes on steady for 20 sec-

onds and then blinks for 10 seconds when the

engine is not running, it indicates that the vehicle

is not ready for an emission control system

inspection/maintenance test. For additional infor-

mation, refer to “Readiness for

inspection/maintenance (I/M) test” in the “Tech-

nical and consumer information” section of this

manual.

Operation

The MIL will come on in one of two ways:

● MIL on steady — An emission control system

malfunction has been detected. Check the

fuel-filler cap. If the LOOSE FUEL CAP

warning message is displayed in the odom-

eter, and the fuel-filler cap is loose or miss-

ing, tighten or install the cap and continue to

drive the vehicle. The

light should turn

off after a few driving trips. If the

light

does not turn off after a few driving trips,

have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN

dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle

towed to the dealer.

● MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been

detected which may damage the emission

control system. To reduce or avoid emission

control system damage:

– do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH

(72 km/h);

– avoid hard acceleration or deceleration;

– avoid steep uphill grades;

– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo

being hauled.

The MIL may stop blinking and come on steady.

Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer.

You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the

dealer.

CAUTION

Continued vehicle operation without hav-

ing the emission control system checked

and repaired as necessary could lead to

poor driveability, reduced fuel economy,

and possible damage to the emission con-

trol system.

The automatic transmission overdrive function is

controlled by the overdrive switch.

For additional information, refer to “Driving the
