Warning Lights

Warning lights, usually red or amber in color, can indicate several problems. Some are easily fixed while others require professional attention. Always keep a maintenance schedule handy, as this will help you determine whether you should handle these warnings yourself or call in a professional for Nissan repair.

Some of the more common Nissan Rogue dashboard symbols in this category include:

Brake warning light: Usually pictured either as BRAKE or ABS, these warnings indicate brake problems such as a malfunctioning Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) or more urgent issues with your main braking system (BRAKE). If your ABS warning light is on, you're generally okay to drive; however, if your BRAKE warning light is on, do not operate your vehicle-seek Nissan service immediately.

Check engine light: This is the warning light that our drivers most often recognize, and the one that seems the most ambiguous. A check engine light could mean a number of things, such as a loose gas cap or a bad transmission. Since these problems can be major or minor, it's best to have a professional perform a diagnostic test. Need maintenance? Schedule engine repair with us!

Charge warning light: This light, which looks like a little electrical box, indicates that your car battery is low or defunct. Pull over, turn off nonessential electronics, and charge your battery. Alternatively, you can get help from a friend or family member to transport your car to a technician.

Low tire pressure warning light: Pictured as an exclamation point surrounded by two parentheses, this light indicates that you have-or soon will have-a flat tire. If this light comes on, check your tire pressure and act accordingly. If tending to the issue yourself doesn't seem to do the trick, come see our expert technicians. In the meantime, learn more about tire pressure here.

Low fuel light: Pictured as a tiny gas pump, this is probably the easiest warning light to fix: Fill up your tank as soon as possible.

Oil pressure warning light: Usually pictured as an oil can, you may get this warning light if your oil is low or you have a leak. Bring your car in, and do not drive under these conditions.

Seat belt warning light: Usually accompanied with a chime or beep, this indicates that a passenger isn't wearing his or her seatbelt. Pull over and wait for everyone to buckle up, and do not start the car until this is done.

Indicator Lights

Though often less urgent than warning lights, indicators are no less important. If indicator lights persist to blink or flash after you've fixed the problem, contact a dealership or mechanic. Some of the main indicator lights are:

Air bag indicator light: This is one of your Nissan Rogue's occupancy sensors. It turns on if you have a passenger in the cabin, letting you know whether their air bags are enabled. If the light does not come on, see us for Nissan service.

High beam indicator light: This light is activated when you turn on your high-beam headlights. It will shut off automatically when you turn the high beams off.

VDC indicator light: If this light is blinking, it indicates that your Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system is operating and that conditions may be slick. If the light is solid, however, it indicates a malfunction in the VDC system; see a technician at your dealership soon to prevent loss of traction.
