WARNING LIGHTS
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi-
nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
promptly.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
Brake warning light
WARNING
•
If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
the vehicle until the brake system has been
checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
•
Even if you judge it to be safe, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
•
Depressing the footbrake pedal without the
engine running and/or with a low brake fluid
level could increase the stopping distance and
require greater pedal travel distance and ef-
fort.
The brake warning light indicates the parking brake
system operation, a low brake fluid level of the brake
system and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) mal-
function.
Parking brake warning indicator:
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,
and the parking brake is applied, the brake warning
light illuminates. When the engine is running, and
parking brake is released, the brake warning light
turns off.
If the parking brake is not fully released, the brake
warning light remains on. Be sure that the brake
warning light has turned off before driving. (See
“Parking brake” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.)
Low brake fluid warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, and the parking
brake is released, it may indicate the brake fluid
level is low.
When the brake warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the brake fluid level. If
the brake fluid level is below the minimum mark on
the reservoir, add brake fluid as necessary. (See
“Brake fluid” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.)
If the brake fluid level is sufficient, have the brake
system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop promptly.
