High beam indicator light

This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low beam is
selected.

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” (P.9-27).)

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 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:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH

(72 km/h).

2) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) 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.

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)” (P.5-13) of this
manual.

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.

If the security system is malfunctioning, this light
