Welcome To The World Of NISSAN
Your new Nissan is the result of our dedication to
produce the finest in safe, reliable and economical transportation. Your vehicle is the product of
a successful worldwide company that manufactures cars and trucks in over 17 countries and
distributes them in 170 nations.
Nissan vehicles are designed and manufactured
by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. which was founded in
Tokyo, Japan in 1933, and Nissan affiliates worldwide, collectively growing to become the fifth largest automaker in the world. In addition to cars and
trucks, Nissan also makes textile machinery, forklift
trucks, marine engines, boats and other products.
Nissan has made a substantial and growing
investment in North America, starting with the
opening of Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. in
1960 and continuing with the production of some
cars and trucks at one of the world’s most
modern manufacturing facilities, Nissan Motor
Manufacturing Corporation U.S.A. in Smyrna,
Tennessee, vehicle styling at Nissan Design
International in San Diego, California, and engineering at Nissan Research and Development in
Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A. and its dealers
employ about 60,000 Americans.
Nissan is also a substantial contributor to the
Canadian economy. Nissan Canada Inc., its suppliers and over 170 dealers employ approximately 4,500 people. These include company
employees and the staffs of Nissan dealers all
across Canada. In addition, many Canadians
work for companies that supply Nissan and Nissan dealers with materials and services ranging
from the operation of port facilities and transportation services, to the supply of lubricants, parts
and accessories.

The inside pages of this manual contain
a minimum of 50% recycled fibers,
including 10% post-consumer fibers.
Nissan pioneered the use of electronics and
computers in automobiles, and has led the industry in improving both performance and fuel efficiency through new engine designs and the use
of synthetic materials to reduce vehicle weight.
The company has also developed ways to build
quality into its vehicles at each stage of the
production process, both through extensive use
of automation and — most importantly —
through an awareness that people are the central element in quality control.
From the time the parts arrived from our suppliers until you took delivery of your new Nissan,
dozens of checks were made to ensure that only
the best job was being done in producing and
delivering your vehicle. Nissan also takes great
care to ensure that when you take your Nissan to
your dealer for maintenance, the service technician will perform his work according to the quality
standards that have been established by the
factory.
Safety has also been built into your Nissan. As
you know, seat belts are an integral part of the
safety systems that will help protect you and your
passengers in the event of a sudden stop or an
accident. We urge you to use the belts every time
you drive the vehicle.
The Nissan story of growth and achievement
reflects our major goal: to provide you, our
customer, with a vehicle that is built with quality
and craftsmanship — a product that we can be
proud to build and you can be proud to own.

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 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 ‘‘Do-it-yourself operations’’ section.
1-6
CAUTION
Running the engine with the oil pressure warning light on could cause serious damage to the engine almost immediately. Turn off the engine as soon
as it is safe to do so.

as necessary. See the ‘‘Do-it-yourself operations’’ section.
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
The light comes on when the parking brake
is applied, and also warns of a low brake
fluid level. If the light comes on while the
engine is running with the parking brake not
applied, stop the vehicle and perform the
following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake
fluid as necessary. See ‘‘Brake fluid’’ in
the ‘‘Do-it-yourself operations’’ section.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the

on. Driving could be dangerous. If
you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service station
for repairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed.
● Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your stopping distance and braking will require greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.
● If the brake fluid level is below the
minimum mark on the brake fluid
reservoir, do not drive until the brake
system has been checked at a NISSAN dealer.
or
ABS
Anti-lock brake
warning light
If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate something wrong
with the anti-lock portion of the brake system. Have the system checked by your
NISSAN dealer.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the
anti-lock function ceases, but the brakes
continue to operate normally.
If the light comes on while you are driving, contact your NISSAN dealer for repair.
Overdrive off indicator light
This light comes on during driving when the
overdrive switch is pressed to prevent overdrive operation.
The O/D OFF indicator light comes on for
two seconds each time the ignition key is
turned ON. This shows the light is functioning properly.
If the O/D OFF indicator light blinks for
approximately 8 seconds after coming on for
2 seconds, have your NISSAN dealer check
the transmission and repair it if necessary.

The automatic transmission is equipped
with an electronic Fail-Safe mode. This system allows the vehicle to be driven even in
the event of damage to the electrical circuits. If this occurs, the gears automatically
engage and lock into 3rd gear.
NOTE: See the ‘‘Fail-safe’’ section in the
‘‘Starting and driving’’ section before visiting
your NISSAN dealer.
Turn signal/hazard indicator
lights
The appropriate light flashes when the turn
signal lever is activated.
Both lights flash when the hazard switch is
turned on.
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight high
beam is on and goes out when the low
beam is selected.
Cruise indicator light
The light comes on while the vehicle speed
is controlled by the cruise control system. If
the CRUISE indicator blinks, have the system checked by your NISSAN dealer.
Key reminder chime
The chime sounds if the driver’s or passenger’s door is opened while the key is left in
the ignition switch. Remove the key and
take it with you when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
A chime sounds when the driver’s or passenger’s door is opened if the headlight
control switch is turned on (ignition switch is
turned OFF).
Turn the headlight control switch to OFF
when you leave the vehicle.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it makes a high pitched scraping
sound when the vehicle is in motion whether
or not the brake pedal is depressed. Have
the brakes checked as soon as possible if
the warning sound is heard.
or Malfunction indica-
tor light (MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running,
it may indicate a potential emission control
problem.
The malfunction indicator light will come on
in one of two ways:
1. Malfunction indicator light on steady - An
emission control system malfunction has
been detected. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
2. 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:
● do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH
(72 km/h).
● avoid hard acceleration or decelera-
tion.
● 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 an authorized NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
1-9
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system, which
may affect your warranty coverage.
Some conditions may cause the malfunction indicator light to come on steady or
blink. For example, running the vehicle out
of fuel, which causes the engine to misfire,
may cause the malfunction indicator light to
come on steady or blink.
If you suspect that you experienced such a
condition, drive the vehicle to an authorized
NISSAN dealer and have the vehicle inspected. Avoid any unnecessary diagnosis
during the service by informing the dealer of
the condition that may have occurred.
