The indicator lights in your Nissan Sentra almost always mean a feature is in use. For example, if you’re using Intelligent Cruise Control, you’ll see a light with a speedometer appear. Here are some other indicator lights to be aware of:

• ECO Mode: A light that says "ECO" will appear when you're using ECO Mode.
• Malfunction indicator: This will look like an engine and usually pops up when you’re low on fuel or missing the fuel cap. If this light is on and you have fuel and the cap, it could signal another issue or a loose sensor. Either way, you’ll want a professional to determine why the light is on.
• Slip indicator: If you see a light that looks like a car slipping on a wet surface, the Vehicle Dynamic Control system is in use to prevent danger.
• Hazard lights: These will be blinking green lights that flash left and right. This lets other drivers know you’re stopped for a reason.

If you have questions about any of these lights, feel free to reach out to us!

The Sentra features several warning lights you’ll want to note in case they ever pop up. These lights will be red or orange and usually mean something is wrong with the vehicle.

• Seatbelt warning: If you or your front-seat passenger don’t have their seatbelt on, this light will stay on until you fasten it.
• Low Fuel: This will look like a gas pump and will tell you when you’re low on fuel.
• Power steering warning: If you see a light resembling a steering wheel with an exclamation point next to it, your power steering system isn’t working correctly.
• Brake warning: This light will say "BRAKE" and is a clear sign that your brake system is malfunctioning.
• ABS warning: Similar to the brake light, the "ABS" light will illuminate if the anti-lock braking system is not working properly.

When any of these lights or others illuminate, you should have one of our professionals look your vehicle over as soon as possible.
