Charge warning light

If this light comes on while the engine is running,

it may indicate the charging system is not func-

tioning properly. Turn the engine off and check

the drive 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 drive belt is

loose, broken or missing.

Door open warning light

This light comes on when any of the doors are not

closed securely while the ignition key is in the ON

position.

Electric power steering

warning light

WARNING

If the engine is not running or is turned

off while driving, the power assist for

the steering will not work. Steering will

be harder to operate.

When the power steering warning light

illuminates with the engine running,

there will be no power assist for the

steering. You will still have control of

the vehicle but the steering will be

harder to operate. Have the power

steering system checked by a NISSAN

dealer.

When the ignition switch is in the ON position,

the power steering warning light illuminates. After

starting the engine, the power steering warning

light turns off. This indicates the power steering

system is operational.
If the power steering warning light illuminates

while the engine is running, it may indicate the

power steering system is not functioning properly

and may need servicing. Have the power steering

system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
When the power steering warning light illumi-

nates with the engine running, there will be no

power assist for the steering but you will still have

control of the vehicle. At this time, greater steer-

ing effort is required to operate the steering

wheel, especially in sharp turns and at low

speeds.
See “Power steering” in the “Starting and driving”

section.

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 “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of

this manual.

CAUTION

Running the engine with the engine oil

pressure warning light on could cause se-

rious damage to the engine almost imme-

diately. Such damage is not covered by

warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it

is safe to do so.

High temperature warning

light (red)

When the ignition switch is in the ON position,

the high temperature warning light illuminates

and then turns off. This indicates that the high

temperature sensor in the engine coolant system

is operational.
