Spend a sunny Saturday afternoon at Sabin Point Park beach or tee off at Mulligan's Island Golf & Entertainment. You can enjoy these and other countless attractions around Pawtucket, Cranston, and East Providence, Rhode Island, in a Nissan Kicks.
This Nissan Kicks dashboard symbols guide from Stateline Nissan will help you understand any warning your car gives you. They'll help you nip issues with your car in the bud so you can keep moving to the attractions you love.
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle's engine. It makes it possible for your engine's components to move freely without too much friction or overheating. When the oil is low, the engine can get too hot, and its components can begin to melt or warp.
The oil warning light is a simple outline of a dripping oil can. This will light up to let you know that there is an immediate need for you to add oil to the engine.
If you see this light come on, pull over to a safe place right away and turn off your engine to avoid overheating. Then get your car to our service center as soon as possible. You should only drive again if the light goes off.
High Temperature Warning Light
The high temperature warning light looks like a thermometer floating above waves. This red light will come on if your engine ever gets dangerously hot. Shut off your car and wait several minutes for it to cool off before checking the engine coolant level. You can find your coolant reservoir by consulting your owner's manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Light
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light resembles an upside horseshoe with an exclamation mark in the center. This light will activate when the system detects that one or more of your tires are under-inflated.
Refill your tires to the recommended pressure and then drive your car at speeds of at least 17 MPH. This will reset the TPMS.
Engine Malfunction Warning Light
The Check Engine light-known as the Engine Malfunction Warning Light has several modes that can indicate a series of issues affecting your car's engine. If it flashes, there could be an engine problem that results in a misfire.
Seek service at our dealership as soon as possible; however, there are some things you can do to prevent misfiring, including:
- Don't drive on steep hills.
- Limit or reduce your cargo or hauling loads.
- Only accelerate or brake gently.
- Avoid driving at speeds above 45 MPH.
If you notice this light flashing, bring your vehicle into our dealership as soon as you can to have this system checked for fault codes. Since this light can indicate a number of issues, checking the fault codes can help our mechanics get to the root of the problem.
