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 the fuel gauge indicates a sufficient 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 compo-

nents. Stop your vehicle immediately and 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 and in the “In case of emergency”

section.
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low

tire pressure warning light will flash for approxi-

mately 1 minute when the ignition switch is

placed in the ON position. The light will remain on

after the 1 minute. Have the system checked by a

NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see “Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and

driving” section and “Tire pressure” in the “Main-

tenance and do-it-yourself” section.
