or

Brake warning light

This light functions for both the parking brake and

the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position, the light comes on when the parking

brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position, the light warns of a low brake fluid level.

If the light comes on while the engine is running

with the parking brake not applied, stop the ve-

hicle and perform the following:

1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid

as necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the “Main-

tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this

manual.

2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the

warning system checked by a NISSAN

dealer.

WARNING

Your brake system may not be working

properly if the warning light is on. Driv-

ing could be dangerous. If you judge it

to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest

service station for repairs. Otherwise,

have your vehicle towed because driv-

ing it could be dangerous.

Pressing the brake pedal with the en-

gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid

level may increase your stopping dis-

tance and braking will require greater

pedal effort as well as pedal travel.

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.

Charge warning light

If this light comes on while the engine is running,

it may indicate the charging system is not func-

tioning properly. Turn the engine off and check

the generator belt. If the belt is loose, broken,

missing, or if the light remains on, see a NISSAN

dealer immediately.

CAUTION

Do not ground electrical accessories

directly to the battery terminal. Doing

so will bypass the variable control sys-

tem and the vehicle battery may not

charge completely. Refer to “Variable

voltage control system” in the “Mainte-

nance and do-it-yourself” section later

in this manual.

Do not continue driving if the generator

belt is loose, broken or missing.

Door open warning light

This light comes on when any of the doors are not

closed securely while the ignition switch is

placed in the ON position.

Engine oil pressure warning

light

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.
