If this indicator light comes on steady for 20 sec-
onds 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
inspection/maintenance (I/M) test” in the “Tech-
nical and consumer information” section of this
manual.

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 re-
duce or avoid emission control system dam-
age:

– 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 come on steady. 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 hav-
ing the emission control system checked
and repaired as necessary could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy,
and possible damage to the emission con-
trol system.

Overdrive OFF indicator light

The overdrive off indicator light illuminates when
the overdrive off mode is selected.

For additional information, see “Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT)” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.

Security indicator light

This light blinks when the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF, LOCK or ACC position.

The blinking security indicator light indicates that
the security systems equipped on the vehicle are
operational.

For additional information, see “Security sys-
tems” later in this section.

Slip indicator light

This indicator will blink when the VDC system is
operating, thus alerting the driver to the fact that
the road surface is slippery and the vehicle is
nearing its traction limits.

You may feel or hear the system working; this is
normal.
