essential information

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT

This warning light may appear if the high voltage battery voltage drops due to the shift lever being left in (N) NEUTRAL or if the high voltage battery is discharged.

Driving your vehicle while the high voltage battery warning light is illuminated can cause damage to the battery and cause your vehicle to go into fail safe mode.

If the light remains on, contact your NISSAN dealer.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT

The Hybrid System warning light comes on when:

The amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.

There is a problem with the traction motor or other Hybrid System components.

• If the fuel gauge indicates the fuel level is low,

reﬁll the fuel tank immediately. After the fuel tank is ﬁlled, the ignition switch is placed in the ON position and the Hybrid System is in the READY mode, the Hybrid System warning light should turn off.

• If the fuel gauge indicates a sufcient fuel level, or if the Hybrid System warning light comes

on after reﬁlling the tank, there may be a problem with the traction motor or other Hybrid System components.

• Stop your vehicle immediately and contact your NISSAN dealer.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” of your Owner’s Manual.

LOOSE FUEL CAP

A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will display in the vehicle information display

when the fuel-

ﬁller cap is not tightened correctly.

The warning message will disappear when the vehicle detects the fuel-ﬁller cap is properly tightened and the reset button

is pressed.

If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction Indicator Light

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.

may illuminate.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

The TPMS monitors tire pressure. If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will ﬂash for approximately 1 minute and the light will remain on after 1 minute. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates but does not blink, check the tire pressure in all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the driver’s door opening.

After tire pressures are adjusted, the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inﬂation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check the tire pressure in all four tires.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
