indicate the charging system is not functioning

properly and may need servicing.

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 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.8-18).)

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.

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.

Electronic parking brake system

warning light (yellow) (if equipped)

This light illuminates if there is low tire pressure

or a tire pressure warning system malfunction.

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.

CAUTION:

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

monitors the tire pressure of all tires except the

spare.

Do not continue driving if the alternator belt

is loose, broken or missing.

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

2-14 Instruments and controls

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

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

a

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.

.

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.

If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of

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

may not operate correctly.

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.

Be sure to install the specified size of tires

to all four wheels correctly.

Malfunction Warning Light (MWL)

(red) (if equipped)

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.

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 additional information, see “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-9).

For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light

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

(P.2-19) for details.

TPMS malfunction:

.

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).

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.

If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low

tire pressure warning light will flash for ap-

proximately 1 minute when the ignition switch

is placed in the “ON” position. The light will

remain on after the 1 minute. Have the system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.

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

CAUTION:
