2018–2027 Nissan Sentra FAQ
What does the blue high beam indicator light mean?
2027
The blue indicator means the headlights' high beams are on; it also lights when the passing signal is activated.
Page 89 in the 2027 manual →2020–2026
If the ignition is OFF and the driver's door opens while headlights or parking lights are on, a chime sounds; turn the headlight control switch off before leaving.
Page 107 in the 2026 manual →2018–2019
Temporary fog inside an exterior light lens during rain or a car wash is not a malfunction; have a NISSAN dealer service it if large water drops collect inside.
Page 400 in the 2019 manual →What is Remote Engine Start?
2027
If equipped, Remote Engine Start lets you start the engine from outside the vehicle, within approximately 197 ft (60 m).
Page 171 in the 2027 manual →How do I check whether my Sentra is ready for an emissions inspection?
2027
- A powertrain repair or disconnected battery can make the vehicle "not ready" again.
- Put the ignition switch in the ON position, but do not start the engine.
- The test is "not ready" when the Malfunction Indicator Light stays on 20 seconds, then blinks for 10 seconds.
- No blink after 20 seconds means "ready"; if necessary, a NISSAN dealer is recommended to prepare the vehicle.
2018–2019
A repaired powertrain component or disconnected battery may reset the vehicle to a not-ready condition.
Turn the ignition switch to ON without starting: steady MIL illumination for 20 seconds followed by blinking means not ready; no blinking after 20 seconds means ready.
Page 453 in the 2019 manual →What should I do if the registered key does not start the engine?
2027
- The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System requires a registered key; another device can interfere and cause a registered key to fail.
- Keep the ignition switch at ON for approximately 5 seconds. Move it to OFF or LOCK, then wait approximately 10 seconds.
- Do the ON then OFF or LOCK cycle one more time.
- Start the engine again while keeping the device that may interfere apart from the registered key.
- If the no-start condition returns, put the registered key on a separate key ring to prevent interference from other devices.
What precautions apply when replacing spark plugs?
2027
Nissan recommends dealer replacement; use recommended or equivalent plugs and the correct socket, with the engine and ignition off and parking brake engaged.
Page 420 in the 2027 manual →Who should check or replace the CVT fluid?
2027
Have the CVT fluid checked or replaced by a NISSAN dealer when servicing is required.
Page 416 in the 2027 manual →2020–2026
When CVT fluid checking or replacement is required, Nissan recommends having a Nissan dealer perform the service.
Page 506 in the 2026 manual →2018–2019
For a Sentra equipped with a CVT, use Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 or equivalent only, and do not mix fluids.
Do not use ATF or manual transmission fluid because it may damage the CVT; Nissan recommends a dealer for checking or replacement.
Page 381 in the 2019 manual →What does the blue high beam indicator mean?
2020–2026
The blue high beam indicator means the high beams are on; it also illuminates when the passing signal is activated.
Page 106 in the 2026 manual →What should I do if my registered key will not start the engine?
2018–2019
- Another registered key or a toll-road or payment device on the key ring may interfere with starting.
- Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
- Switch it to OFF or LOCK, wait approximately 10 seconds, and repeat the two steps.
- Restart the engine while holding the interfering device separate from the registered key.
- If the no-start condition returns, keep the registered key on a separate key ring.
How should I replace the in-cabin microfilter?
2018–2019
If replacement is required, Nissan recommends having the in-cabin microfilter replaced by a NISSAN dealer.
