AWD (All wheel drive) warning

light (AWD models)

The

warning light comes on when the key

switch is turned to ON. It turns off soon after the

engine is started.
If the AWD system malfunctions or the revolu-

tion, or radius of the front and the rear wheel

differs, the warning light will either remain illumi-

nated or blink. See “Using all wheel drive

(AWD)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.

CAUTION

¼ If the warning light comes on while

driving, AWD mode will change to
2WD mode. Reduce the vehicle speed
and have your vehicle checked by a
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

¼ Do not drive on dry hard surface

roads in the LOCK mode.

¼ If the AWD warning light blinks when

you are driving:

blinks rapidly (about twice a sec-
ond):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and

idle the engine. The driving mode
will change to 2WD to prevent the
AWD system from malfunctioning.
If the warning light turns off, you
can drive again.

blinks slowly (about once every 2
seconds):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and
idle the engine. Check that all tire
sizes are the same, tire pressure is
correct and tires are not worn.

If the warning light is still on after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.

Brake warning light

This light functions for both the parking brake

and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator:
When the ignition key is in the ON position, the

light comes on when the parking brake is ap-

plied.

Low brake fluid warning light:

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 vehicle

and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as

necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the “8. Main-

tenance and do-it-yourself” section.

WARNING

¼ 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.

¼ Pressing the brake pedal with the

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