2007–2026 Nissan Altima FAQ
What should I do when the oil replacement indicator appears?
2018–2026
Change the engine oil within two weeks or before driving 500 miles (800 km), because deteriorated oil can damage the engine.
Page 113 in the 2026 manual →2007–2017
Rotate the tires every 5,000 miles (8,000 km), checking for damage and uneven wear during rotation and replacing them if necessary.
Page 462 in the 2017 manual →Can I drive if the brake fluid is below the MINIMUM or MIN mark?
2023–2026
If brake fluid falls below the MINIMUM or MIN mark, have the brake system checked before driving.
Page 97 in the 2026 manual →What should I do if Key System Error appears?
2023–2026
This warning indicates an Intelligent Key system malfunction and may turn off after appearing when the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is stopped, starting may be impossible; if it is running, you can drive, but have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
Page 121 in the 2026 manual →What does Key Battery Low mean, and what should I do?
2023–2026
This indicator means the Intelligent Key battery is running out of power; replace the battery with a new one.
Page 120 in the 2026 manual →What does the blue high beam indicator mean?
2023–2026
The blue high beam indicator means the high beams are on; it goes out for low beams and also lights for the passing signal.
Page 105 in the 2026 manual →2018–2020
If an LED headlight bulb needs replacement, visit a NISSAN dealer for the service.
Page 481 in the 2020 manual →2007–2017
Temporary fogging after rain or a car wash is not a malfunction, but have the light checked if large water drops collect inside.
Page 439 in the 2017 manual →What should I do if the headlights remain on after parking?
2023–2026
If the driver's door opens with the ignition off while headlights or parking lights are on, a chime sounds; turn the headlight control switch off before leaving.
Page 106 in the 2026 manual →2018–2020
When rain or a car wash creates a temperature difference between the lens's inside and outside, brief fogging may occur in an exterior light lens; this is not a malfunction.
Have a NISSAN dealer provide service if large water drops gather inside the lens.
Page 480 in the 2020 manual →How do I check emissions inspection readiness?
2007–2017
- In some states and Canadian Provinces, your vehicle may need to be in the ready condition for an emissions inspection test.
- After a powertrain repair or battery disconnection, the vehicle may reset to not ready.
- With the engine off, place the ignition switch in ON and watch the Malfunction Indicator Light for 20 seconds.
- If the light blinks for 10 seconds afterward, the condition is not ready; if it does not blink, it is ready, and Nissan recommends dealer assistance to prepare it for testing.
