2015 Nissan Sentra Dashboard Light Guide

When it comes to caring for your Nissan Sentra, there's no better tool than its dashboard lights. Though small, they lend the biggest help for ensuring the proper maintenance and repairs for your vehicle. They let you know when your car needs professional attention, and they keep you on top of its overall conditions so you always know how it's performing. That's why it's extremely important to understand each symbol and act appropriately if one comes on.

At Coulter Nissan, we're dedicated to providing those in Surprise, Avondale, and Peoria with the important information needed to keep their vehicles running at peak performance. That's why we've created the Nissan Sentra dashboard light guide below to ensure that your vehicle gets proper care when it needs most.

NISSAN SENTRA DASHBOARD LIGHT OVERVIEW

The symbols on the dashboard of your Nissan Sentra are one of the first warnings you receive when it's suffering from damage. Each light corresponds with a specific part and gives you an idea of the problem under the hood and what you need to do to repair it.

NISSAN SENTRA WARNING LIGHT IMPORTANCE

Many drivers tend to brush off the dashboard lights of the Nissan Sentra as unimportant nuisances. As a result, they continue to miss crucial repairs and maintenance to the point of irreparable damage. Understanding each warning light puts you one step ahead of automotive issues by ensuring that you provide the professional help your vehicle needs to maintain its longevity.

NISSAN SENTRA DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS

The Nissan Sentra features several helpful warning lights to help you stay on top of your car's overall conditions. Below are just some of the most important ones to look out for:

  • Anti-lock braking: The letters ABS should come on when your car starts and disappear soon after. If it remains lit as you drive, then the anti-lock braking system needs to be repaired.
  • Master light: An exclamation point inside a triangle will illuminate when your Sentra has a loose fuel cap, is low on gas or windshield wiper fluid, or when it needs more tire pressure.
  • SPORT mode: The word SPORT is an indicator light, and it simply lets you know that your vehicle is performing in SPORT mode.
  • Charging system: A battery icon on your dashboard means there's a problem with the charging system. If this light comes on, pull over and call Coulter Nissan for your safety.
  • Vehicle Dynamic Control: When a symbol that looks like a car slipping with the word OFF below it comes on, then Vehicle Dynamic Control is off.
