This light also comes on when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position. The light will turn off
if the VDC system is operational.
When the VDC off indicator light and slip indi-
cator light come on with the VDC system turned
on, this light alerts the driver to the fact that the
system’s fail-safe mode is operating, that is the
VDC system may not be functioning properly.
Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled but the vehicle
is still driveable. For additional information, see
“Vehicle 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.
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.
