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 in the ON position,
the light comes on when the parking brake is
applied.

Low brake fluid warning light:

When the ignition switch is 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 vehicle
and perform the following:

1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid

as necessary. (See “Brake fluid” in the “8.
Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.)

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 Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate

the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the
brake system checked, and if necessary re-
paired, by a NISSAN dealer promptly. (See
“Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
earlier in this section.)

WARNING

. Your brake system may not be

working properly if the warning light
is on. Driving could be dangerous. If
you judge it to be safe, drive care-
fully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your
vehicle towed because driving it
could be dangerous.

. 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
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 the light comes on while the engine is running,
it may indicate 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.

CAUTION

Do not continue driving if the alternator
belt is loose, broken or missing.

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.
Use the dipstick to check the oil level.
(See
“Engine oil” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section.)
