CAUTION ● Do not ground electrical accessories directly to the battery terminal. Doing so will bypass the variable control system and the vehicle battery may not charge completely. Refer to "Variable voltage control system (if so equipped) " in the "Maintenance and do-ityourself" section later in this manual. ● Do not continue driving if the generator belt is loose, broken or missing. The engine 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 "Maintenance and do-it-yourself" section of this manual. CAUTION ● If the warning light comes on or blinks during operation, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. ● Do not drive on dry hard surface roads in the 4H or 4LO position. If the 4WD warning light turns on when you are driving on dry hard surface roads: - in the 4H position, shift the 4WD shift switch to 2WD. - in the 4LO position for automatic transmission models, stop the vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N (Neutral) position with the brake pedal depressed and shift the 4WD shift switch to 2WD. - in the 4LO position for manual transmission models, stop the vehicle and shift the shift selector to the N (Neutral) position with the clutch pedal depressed and shift the 4WD shift switch to 2WD, ● If the warning light is still on after the above operation, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. CAUTION Running the engine with the engine oil pressure warning light on could cause serious damage to the engine almost immediately. Such damage is not covered by warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so. Door open warning light This light comes on when any of the doors are not closed securely while the ignition switch is in the ON position. 4WD warning light ( model) The 4WD warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to ON. It turns off soon after the engine is started. If the engine or vehicle is not functioning properly, the warning light will either remain illuminated or blink. See "4WD warning light" in the "Starting and driving" section. Engine oil pressure warning light This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If 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.
