It’s important to understand the differences between a warning light and an indicator light when figuring out the Nissan Rogue dashboard symbols and their meanings. Although there may be several different Nissan Rogue dashboard symbols, you don’t need to worry about most of them. Keep reading to learn more.
The symbols on the Nissan Rogue dashboard can mean several things. But first, we explain the differences between a warning light and an indicator light in your SUV in Mokena and beyond.
When warning lights show themselves as Nissan Rogue dashboard symbols, that means there is an issue with one or more of your SUV’s systems. The light will come on and stay on, letting you know that your vehicle needs service. Warning lights are typically red, yellow, or orange.
Most Nissan Rogue dashboard lights will also briefly light up for a few seconds when you start the engine, and then they turn off soon after. This shows that your SUV’s systems are working properly.
Indicator lights, when deciphering Nissan Rogue dashboard symbols and their meanings, are often white, blue, or green, as opposed to the yellow, orange, or red warning lights. These Nissan Rogue dashboard symbols show if something is in use, such as your high beams, turn signals, or fog lights. Other indicator lights will show that something is not in use, such as your vehicle’s dynamic control (VDC) system.
When warnings appear as Nissan Rogue dashboard lights in Chicago and elsewhere, you need to pay attention to what they are trying to tell you. It depends on what lights are illuminated. Some lights mean you should service your vehicle soon, like within the next 50 miles. Others indicate you should get your vehicle serviced ASAP.
See some of the common Nissan Rogue dashboard symbols and their meanings when it comes to warning lights with this list:
The ABS light, when it stays on, warns of a problem with the anti-lock braking system or low brake fluid. This light will either look like “ABS” spelled out, or a circle with “ABS” inside and two outer lines on each side. Brakes are vitally important, so get your vehicle serviced ASAP.
There may be a problem with your vehicle’s electric charging system or the battery. It may also mean that your alternator belt is loose, broken, or missing. Or, perhaps the alternator has worn out and you need a new one. This light looks like a battery with + and – symbols inside.
This light activates when your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) detects low tire pressure or an issue with the TPMS itself. This light resembles a horseshoe with an exclamation point inside.
This is a triangle with an exclamation point inside. It can indicate problems that are easy to fix, such as a loose fuel cap, but it can also indicate larger problems, such as overheating within your AWD system. Check your vehicle’s information display for more details if you see this light.
This warning light can indicate malfunctions in your power steering system or low power steering fluid. It could also mean that your serpentine belt is broken, especially if this light and the battery light come on at the same time and your air conditioning doesn’t work properly. The light looks like a steering wheel with an exclamation point to its right.
This light reminds the front occupants to buckle their seatbelts. You’ll hear a chime in the cabin if people don’t have their seatbelt fastened.
This light can indicate issues with your airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, impact sensors, or other airbag problems when it remains on, flashes, or does not come on at all. The supplemental airbag warning light looks like a passenger buckled into their seat, with a small circle in their lap, meant to resemble the airbags.
This yellow, engine-shaped light will activate and remain on if there is an issue with the emissions system, the fuel cap is not completely secured, or there is a malfunction with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). It may also blink to indicate engine misfires, which can require immediate service. Think of this as the Check Engine light.
Rather than red, orange, or yellow warning lights, indicator lights are usually white, green, or blue.
This light is blue with three straight lines and then a wavy line going through the three straight lines. It shows your fog lights are on and working.
If there is no one sitting in the front seat, the front passenger airbag doesn’t need to be on when you’re traveling. This light can indicate that your front passenger airbag system is currently inactive based on the weight sensed in the seat. It looks like the supplemental airbag warning light, except the circle in the person’s lap is crossed out.
The light itself has a series of horizontal lines stacked on top of one another, with a small, curved shape with an “A” in it on the right. It indicates that the automatic high beam system is operational.
This light will activate when your high beams are being used. It’ll go out when the low beam is selected. The light is blue with three horizontal beams.
This light activates and blinks when your SUV’s Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system is operating and the vehicle is close to its traction limitations. It may also illuminate while the VDC system is on, which means that the system’s fail-safe mode is operating and that the system itself may not be functioning properly. The symbol resembles a vehicle with two swaying lines below it as if the car is in danger of skidding or hydroplaning on a slick surface.
This light indicates that your VDC system is currently switched off. It looks exactly like the Slip Indicator Light, except with the word “OFF” below it.
This light means a left or right turn signal is active. Both may be active when your hazard lights are switched on. It looks like two arrows facing opposite directions, and it is usually green.
