CAUTION
If the high temperature warning light illu-
minates while the engine is running, it
may indicate the engine temperature is
extremely high. Stop the vehicle safely as
soon as possible. If the vehicle is over-
heated, continuing vehicle operation may
seriously damage the engine. See “If your
vehicle overheats”in the “In case of emer-
gency” section.
High-voltage battery warning
light
This light may appear during the following condi-
tions:
The high voltage battery voltage drops due
to the shift selector being left in “N”.
The Hybrid System will work properly if
the shift selector is placed in “P” and the
light goes off.
The high voltage battery is discharged.
If this light comes on when the READY
light is on, stop your vehicle and contact
your NISSAN dealer
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. See “Fuel gauge”
earlier in this section. 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 be off.
If thefuel gauge indicatesa sufficient fuellevel, 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 compo-
nents. Stop your vehicle immediatelyand contact
your NISSAN dealer.
Low tire pressure warning light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire
pressure of all tires except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about 1 second
and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all 4 tires to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label located
in the driver’s door opening. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is ad-
justed. After the tire is inflated to the rec-
ommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pres-
sure gauge to check the tire pressure.
For additional information, see “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and
driving”section andin the “Incase ofemergency”
section.
