SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
This vehicle is equipped with a speedom- eter and odometer. The speedometer is located on the right side of the meter clus- ter. The odometer is located in the vehicle information display to the left of the speed- ometer and can be accessed with the ve- hicle in the ON position.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.
Odometer/Twin trip odometer
The odometer and the twin trip odometer O1 are displayed in the vehicle information display when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven. The twin trip odometer records the dis- tance of individual trips.
Changing the display
Push the TRIP RESET switch O2 on the left side of the instrument panel to change the display as follows: ODO → Trip → Trip → ODO
Resetting the trip odometer
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch O2 for about 2 seconds resets the currently dis- played trip odometer to zero.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not rev the engine into the red zone O1 .
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red zone, reduce engine speed. Operat- ing the engine in the red zone may cause serious engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant tempera- ture is within the normal range O1 when the gauge needle points within the zone shown in the illustration. The engine coolant temperature varies with the outside air temperature and driv- ing conditions.
CAUTION If the gauge indicates coolant tem- perature near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease temperature. If the gauge is over the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible. If the engine is overheated, continued operation of the vehicle may seriously damage the engine. For additional information, see “If your vehicle overheats” (P. 6-13) for immediate action required.
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank. The gauge may move slightly during brak- ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills. The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) af- ter the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position. The low fuel warning light comes on when the amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge reg- isters 0 (Empty).
The indicates that the fuel-filler door is located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
• If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may come on. Refuel as soon as possible. After a few driving trips. the light should turn off. If the light remains on after a few driving trips, have the ve- hicle inspected. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
• For additional information, see “Mal- function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-17).
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the ve- hicle can be driven before refueling. The value is calculated based on recent fuel economy, the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank, and the actual fuel consumption. Changes in driving patterns or conditions can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the value displayed may differ from the ac- tual distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the fuel level in the tank is getting low, prior to the fuel gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE: • The DTE value after refill is estimated
based on recent fuel economy and amount of fuel added.
• If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the display may not be updated.
• Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated DTE value (city/highway driving, idle time, remote start time, terrain, sea- sonal weather, added vehicle weight, added deflectors, roof racks, etc.).
AUXILIARY GAUGES (if so equipped) 1. Automatic Transmission fluid tempera-
ture gauge 2. Voltmeter 3. Engine oil pressure gauge 4. Engine oil temperature gauge
Automatic Transmission fluid temperature gauge This gauge indicates the temperature of the automatic transmission fluid.
CAUTION •
This gauge is not designed to indi-
cate low automatic transmission fluid level. Use the dipstick to check the fluid level. For additional infor- mation, see “Automatic Transmis- sion Fluid (ATF)” (P. 8-11).
If the gauge indicates automatic transmission fluid temperature over the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible. It is recom- mended that you have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer. Contin- ued operation of the vehicle may se- riously damage the transmission.
Voltmeter When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the voltmeter indicates the bat- tery voltage. When the engine is running, it indicates the generator voltage. While cranking the engine, the volts drop below the normal range. If the range is not within the normal range (11 – 15 volts) while the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Engine oil pressure gauge The gauge indicates the engine lubrication system oil pressure while the engine is run- ning. The bar should be in the middle of the gauge when the engine is running.
CAUTION •
This gauge is not designed to indi-
cate low engine oil level. Use the dip- stick to check the oil level. For addi- tional information, see “Engine oil” (P. 8-6).
If the gauge needle does not move with the proper amount of engine oil, it is recommended that you have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer. Continued vehicle operation in such a condition could cause serious dam- age to the engine.
Engine oil temperature gauge This gauge measures the temperature of the engine oil.
OFF-ROAD AND 4–WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) MONITOR (if so equipped) The off-road and 4WD monitor displays the various conditions of the vehicle. The Pitch and Roll Gauge (left) indicates the angle of the vehicle position left, right, up or down. The value will be displayed while the vehicle graphic will rotate to indicate ve- hicle condition: left, right, up or down. The Tire Angle & 4WD Gauge (right) indicates the angle of the tires based on turning of the steering wheel and 4WD status. The graphic image will show the actual vehicle tire position while the angle is to be displayed above as reference. The 4WD status is displayed below.
ECO DRIVE REPORT (if so equipped) When the ignition switch is in the OFF posi- tion, the ECO management display appears.
1 Previous 5 times (History)
2 Current fuel economy
3 Best fuel economy The result of ECO evaluation is displayed 30 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position and the vehicle is driven at least 1/3 miles (500 meters).
1 The average fuel economy for the pre- vious 5 times will be displayed.
2 The average fuel economy since the last reset will be displayed.
3 The best fuel economy of the past his- tory will be displayed.
The ECO Drive Report can be set to be ON or OFF.
