When the ignition switch is turned to ON,
modes of the trip computer can be selected by
pushing once on the trip mode switch. The
following modes can be selected:Outside air temperature (ICY Ð ÉF
or ÉC)The outside air temperature is displayed in ÉF
or ÉC.
The outside air temperature mode includes a
low temperature warning feature: below 37ÉF
(3ÉC), the outside air temperature mode is
automatically selected and ICY indicator will
illuminate in order to draw the driver's atten-tion. Press the mode switch if you wish to
return to the mode that was selected before
the warning occurred. The ICY indicator will
continue blinking as long as the temperature
remains below 39ÉF (4ÉC).
Distance to empty (dte Ð mile or
km)The distance to empty (dte) mode provides
you with an estimation of the distance that can
be driven before refueling. The dte is con-
stantly being calculated, based on the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual fuel
consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature: when the fuel level is low, the dte
mode is automatically selected and the digits
blink in order to draw the driver's attention.
Press the mode switch if you wish to return to
the mode that was selected before the warning
occurred. The dte mark (dte) will remain blink-
ing until the vehicle is refuelled.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to (
).
NOTE:
IIf the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is OFF is small, the dis-play just before the ignition switch is
turned OFF may continue to be dis-
played.
IWhen driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.

unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 87 or 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number.
However, you may use unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating as low as 85 AKI number in
these high altitude areas [over 4,000 ft (1,219
m)] such as: Colorado, Montana, New Mexico,
Utah, Wyoming, northeastern Nevada, south-
ern Idaho, western South Dakota, western
Nebraska, and that part of Texas which is
directly south of New Mexico.
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than stated above can cause
persistent, heavy spark knock. (Spark
knock is a metallic rapping noise.) If se-
vere, this can lead to engine damage. If you
detect a persistent heavy spark knock even
when using gasoline of the stated octane
rating, or if you hear steady spark knock
while holding a steady speed on level
roads, have your dealer correct the condi-
tion. Failure to correct the condition is
misuse of the vehicle, for which NISSAN is
not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in knocking,
after-run or overheating. This in turn may
cause excessive fuel consumption or damage
to the engine. If any of the above symptoms
are encountered, have your vehicle checked at
a NISSAN dealer or other competent service
facility.However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is no
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.9-4
