Instruments and controls

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

light (green; if so equipped)

The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) light
(green) will illuminate when the LDW system is
turned on. The light turns off when the system is
turned off. (See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.)

NOTE:

This light is common with the Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW) light (orange). (See
“Lane Departure Warning (LDW) light”
earlier in this section.)

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control and/or
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) mal-
function.

The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.

After a few driving trips, the

light should

turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.

If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for Inspec-
tion/Maintenance (I/M) test” in the “9. Technical
and consumer information” section.)

Operation:

The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady — An

emission control system and/or CVT mal-
function has been detected. Check the fuel-
filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP warning
appears on the dot matrix liquid crystal
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
and/or CVT system checked and re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor
driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
possible damage to the emission con-
trol system.
