removable roof trunk on and radio

Good morning.

This light stays on. Do you know where the corresponding sensor is located?

And other question :
My FM radio receives very poorly. Where is the antenna located?
(sorry for my english, i write from France with a translator)

Bienvenue...

That light is for the Pedestrian "Pop-Up" Hood system. This feature is mandatory in the EU and in some Asian countries. As it is not required here in the USA information about the system is not readily known. That said, this thread explains what we know about the system and offers a "system reset" that might work for you. Unfortunately, if the light persists and the reset does not work, you may need to contact Nissan and have them diagnose further if this system is required per MOT (Contrôl Technique) inspections.

As for the FM antenna, what chassis is your car? Coupe, Sedan, or Convertible? On US cars, the antenna is located behind the driver-side pillar trim along the rear windshield. On the Convertibles it is located in the rear decklid.

Mandatory Pedestrian "Pop-Up" Hood system?

How does that work?

The theory is that under low speed conditions if a pedestrian were to walk out in front of the moving car (which people are notorious for around my area) the crash sensors in the bumper will trigger the two "pop-up" actuators at the back of the hood causing it to "arc" up and "catch" the pedestrian.

This is intended to "lessen the blow" as the pedestrian lands on the hood. Almost like the hood is trying to "break one's fall" so to speak.

I really wonder how effective it is or if it just some silly legislation that looks good on paper but in all practicality is a flop/ useless mandatory legislation.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very good answer ILM-NC G37S, it must be one of the two pop-ups that is broken. I'm going to figure out how to control them. If anyone has an idea.
My G37 is a convertible.

I used this method. It worked. A very very very thank you for your help.

The procedure to reset Pop-Up Hood manually is:

1) Press twice the Start Button (Do not start the Engine, only instrumentation!)

2) wait about 7 sec, the Pop-Up light goes off ---> Press Start Button immediatly (Switch Off)

3) Press twice the Start Button (Do not start the Engine, only instrumentation!)

4) wait about 7 sec, the Pop-Up light goes off, Flashes 3 times, when goes off press Start Button immediatly (Switch Off)

5) Repeat steps 1-2-3-4

6) Press twice the Start Button (Do not start the Engine, only instrumentation!)

7) The Pop-Up light blinks slowly

😎 Turn Off

Good news indeed.

On the Convertible, the FM antenna is located on top of the deck lid as shown here:

However, if your car has the OEM spoiler then the antenna is inside the spoiler itself.
