Nissan Z33-D owner manual Audible Reminders

if the vehicle dynamic control (VDC) system is operational.

When the vehicle dynamic control off indicator light and slip indicator light come on with the vehicle dynamic control system turned on, this light alerts the driver to the fact that the vehicle dynamic control system’s fail-safe mode is op- erating, that is the system may not be functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer. If a malfunction occurs in the system, the vehicle dynamic control system function will be canceled but the vehicle is still driveable. For additional information, see “Ve- hicle dynamic control (VDC) system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this manual.

Soft top indicator light (Roadster models)

This light illuminates when the soft top is being operated or it is stopped before reaching a full open/close state. When the top is fully opened, the light will turn off. When the top is fully closed, the light will flash.

The soft top can be moved with the soft top operating switch only under all of the following conditions:

￿When the vehicle is stopped.

￿When the foot brake pedal is depressed. 2-18Instruments and controls

￿When the ignition switch is ON.

CAUTION

Operate the soft top with the engine running to prevent a discharged battery.

When the soft top is in motion, and any of the above conditions are discontinued or the pas- senger power seat switches (on the cushion or the seatback) are operated, the top will stop moving. Remove your hand from the operating switch, and push it again under the above conditions until the top is fully opened or closed. The soft top indicator light will turn off when the top open operation is completely finished. When closing the top, the light, which is illuminated, will begin to flash when the top close operation is completely finished. Securely engage the top to the vehicle by operating the top latch lever. The light will turn off.

If the soft top indicator light flashes with the ignition switch ON (whether the top is operated or not, and when the top is engaged), it may indicate the electric soft top control unit is not functioning properly. Have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

For more details about the electric soft top

operation, see “Soft top” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and adjustments” section.
