WARNING


쐌 Your brake system may not be work- ing properly if the warning light is on. Driving could be dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service station for re- pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dangerous.


쐌 Pressing the brake pedal with the engine stopped and/or a low brake fluid level may increase your stop- ping distance and braking will re- quire greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.


쐌 If the brake fluid level is below the MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive until the brake system has been checked at a NISSAN dealer.


2.


If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by a NISSAN dealer.


Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning indicator:


When the parking brake is released and the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light and the ABS warning light illumi- nate, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the brake system checked by a NISSAN dealer. See “Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light” earlier in this section.


Charge warning light


If the light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not functioning properly. Turn the engine off and check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing or if the light remains on, see a NISSAN dealer immediately.

This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the light flickers or comes on during normal driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine immediately and call a NISSAN dealer or other authorized repair shop. 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 Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire pressure of all tires except the spare.


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 turned ON, this light illuminates for about 1 second and turns off. Low tire pressure warning:


If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pres- sure, the warning light will illuminate.


When the low tire pressure warning light illumi- nates, you should stop and adjust the tire pres- sure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recom- mended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. For additional information, see “Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section and in the “6. In case of emergency” section. TPMS malfunction: If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi- mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is


turned ON. The light will remain on after the 1
minute. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

SECURITY SYSTEMS


SIC2132


Your vehicle has two types of security systems, as follows: 쐌 Vehicle Security System 쐌 NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System The security condition will be shown by the security indicator light. VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM The vehicle security system provides visual and audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors or rear hatch/trunk lid when the system is armed. It is not, however, a motion detection type system that activates when a vehicle is


moved or when a vibration occurs. The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or exterior vehicle components in all situations. Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible. Many devices offering additional protection, such as component locks, identification markers, and tracking systems, are available at auto sup- ply stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer such equipment. Check with your insurance company to see if you may be eligible for discounts for various theft protection fea- tures.

HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH XENON HEADLIGHTS


WARNING


HIGH VOLTAGE


쐌 When xenon headlights are on, they produce a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock, never attempt to modify or disassemble. Always have your xenon headlights replaced at a NISSAN dealer.


쐌 Xenon headlights provide consider- ably more light than conventional headlights. If they are not correctly aimed, they might temporarily blind an oncoming driver or the driver ahead of you and cause a serious accident. If headlights are not aimed correctly, immediately take your ve- hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have the headlights adjusted correctly.


When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its brightness or color varies slightly. However, the color and brightness will soon stabilize.


2-24 Instruments and controls


쐌 The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by frequent on-off operation. It is generally desirable not to turn off the headlights for short intervals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a traffic signal). Even when the daytime running lights are active (Canada only), the xenon headlights do not turn on. This way the life of the xenon headlights is not reduced.


쐌 If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning out, the brightness will drasti- cally decrease, the light will start blink- ing, or the color of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer. HEADLIGHT SWITCH

HomeLink UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped) The HomeLink Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device. HomeLink Universal Transceiver: 쐌 Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and se- curity systems.


쐌 Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehi- cle’s battery is discharged or is discon- nected, HomeLink will retain all program- ming.


Once the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original trans- mitter for future programming procedures (for example, new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional information, refer to “Pro- gramming HomeLink ” later in this sec- tion.


WARNING


쐌 Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by fed- eral safety standards. (These stan- dards became effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage door and then auto- matically stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety stan- dards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.


쐌 Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver.


PROGRAMMING HomeLink To program your HomeLink Transceiver to op- erate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the device. Note: Garage door openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling code protection”. To program a garage door opener equipped with “rolling code protection”; you will need to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to be able to access the training button.


쐌 During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate will open or close (if the transmitter is within range). Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door, gate, you are programming.

6. Press and release the training button located on the garage door opener’s motor to acti- vate the “training mode”. This button is usu- ally located near the antenna wire that hangs down from the motor. If the wire originates from under a light lens, you will need to remove the lens to access the training button.


NOTE: Once you have pressed and released the training button on the garage door open- er’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to perform step 7.

If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink buttons, refer to the HomeLink web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515. PROGRAMMING HomeLink FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand- held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2
seconds. To program your hand-held transmitter to HomeLink , continue to press and hold the HomeLink button (note steps 2 through 4
under “Programming HomeLink ”) while you press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating successful pro- gramming).


NOTE:


When programming a garage door opener, etc., it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible damage to the garage door opener components. OPERATING THE HomeLink UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER The HomeLink Universal Transceiver (once programmed) may now be used to activate the garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the appropriate programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver button. The red indicator light will illuminate while the signal is being transmitted. PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-DIAGNOSIS If the HomeLink does not quickly learn the hand-held transmitter information: 쐌 replace the hand-held transmitter batteries


with new batteries.


쐌 position the hand-held transmitter with its battery area facing away from the HomeLink surface.


쐌 press and hold both the HomeLink


and hand-held transmitter buttons without inter- ruption.


쐌 position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in (50 to 127 mm) away from the HomeLink surface. Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink is not programmed within that time, try holding the transmitter in another position - keeping the indicator light in view at all times.


If you continue to have programming difficulties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs Department. The phone numbers are located in the Foreword of this Owner’s Manual. CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED INFORMATION Individual buttons cannot be cleared, however to clear all programming, press and hold the two outside buttons and release when the indicator light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).
