The engine oil pressure warning light is not designed to indicate a low oil level. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. See “Engine oil” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section. CAUTION Running the engine with the engine oil pressure warning light on could cause serious damage to the engine almost immediately. Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so. Low tire pressure warning light After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light comes on for about 1 second and turns off. This light warns of low tire pressure. NISSAN’s low tire pressure warning system is a tire pressure monitoring system. It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the 2-14 Instruments and controls proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire malfunction. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stop- ping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified in the vehicle placard and Owner’s Manual. The recommended inflation pressure may also be found on the Tire and Loading Information label. If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres- sure*, the light will illuminate and the chime will sound for about 10 seconds. *: lower than 26 psi (for 225/50R17 and 235/50R17 tires on Roadster model) lower than 28 psi (except for the above) For additional information, see “Low tire pres- sure warning system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section and “Flat tire” in the “6. In case of emergency” section. You can check the tire pressure of all 4 tires on the trip computer display. See “Trip computer” earlier in this sec- tion. WARNING 쐌 If the light does not come on with the ignition switch turned ON, have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. 쐌 If the light comes on 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 pos- sible. 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 pres- sure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the light still comes on while driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible. 墌 04.8.23/Z33-D/V5.0 墍 쐌 When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated and the low tire pressure warning system will not function. Contact a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting. CAUTION 쐌 The low tire pressure warning system is not a substitute for the regular tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure regularly. 쐌 If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 20 MPH (32 km/h), the low tire pressure warning system may not operate correctly. 쐌 Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the front and rear.
