NISSAN 2012 370Z Roadster - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 79)

Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Check the fuel-filler cap if
the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears in
the vehicle information display. If the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install
the cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off after a few
driving trips. If the light does not turn off
after a few driving trips, have the vehicle
inspected by a NISSAN dealer. You do not
need to have your vehicle towed to the
dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
— Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
— Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
— Avoid steep uphill grades.
— If possible, reduce the amount of cargo
being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
Rear fog light indicator light (if so
equipped)
The rear fog light indicator light illuminates when
the rear fog light is on. (See “Fog light switch”
(P.2-35).)
Security indicator light
The light blinks when the ignition switch is in the
ACC, OFF or LOCK position. This function
indicates the security system equipped on the
vehicle is operational.

will remain on while the ignition switch is in the
ON position. For additional information, see
“Security systems” (P.2-27).

opened or closed under the following condi-
tions:
. When the vehicle is driven.
