What Do the Nissan Dashboard Warning Light Colors Mean?

Are your Nissan Altima dashboard lights flashing yellow or red? The warning light colors indicate the severity of your Nissan’s mechanical issues. Whether you’ve got a pre-owned Nissan Altima or a new Nissan Rogue, rest assured that the color codes and meanings are the same across all Nissan models at Fred Martin Nissan near Canton.

If your warning light is yellow, this is a sign of a malfunction, but it may not be urgent. You can likely still drive your vehicle, but scheduling a service appointment as soon as possible is a good idea. If your Nissan dashboard warning lights up red, you need to have service performed immediately. Pull to the side of the Akron road, and don’t drive your vehicle any further if it lights up in red! Instead, have it towed to the Fred Martin Nissan service center for repair.
