Nissan Maxima Indicator Lights
The indicator lights on your Maxima’s dashboard usually mean one or more features are in use. These are almost always nothing to worry about. Some of these lights include:
- Turn signals and hazard lights: These are two of the most common indicator lights. A turn signal will be a green arrow that points in the direction you’re about to turn in, and the hazard lights tell other drivers you’ve stopped your car for an unexpected reason.
- High beam indicator: This is a blue light that looks like a headlight shining several rays of light. If this light is on, your high beams are active.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL): This light looks like an engine and will let you know your gas cap is loose or you’re low on fuel. If this light is on and you have fuel and your gas cap is tight, you’ll want to consult a professional.
- Slip indicator: This light resembles a car sliding on a wet surface. The vehicle’s Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system is active if this light is on.
Please contact us if you have any questions about these lights!
Nissan Maxima Warning Lights
You’ll want to pay attention to several warning lights, as they are your vehicle’s way of communicating that something is wrong. For example, if you see a red seatbelt warning light pop up, you or your passenger has not fastened the seatbelt, and it’ll stay on until you do.
Other lights to be aware of include:
- Battery light: If you see a red light that looks like a battery, something is wrong with the electrical system. This could be a failing battery; you can check by looking for damage or corrosion.
- Low tire pressure: A light that looks like a tire with an exclamation point means one or more of your tires is low on air. This can be fixed by filling it to the correct PSI (pounds per square inch). If it pops up regularly, there is likely an air leak that a professional can address.
- Power steering: This means there is a malfunction with the power steering system.
If any of these lights turn on, book a service appointment ASAP. Our technicians will be able to diagnose and repair the issue properly.
