HOW TO USE “FUEL ECON”
BUTTONThe average fuel consumption (MPG or L/100
km) and the distance to empty (dte — MI or km)
will appear on the screen when the “FUEL
ECON” button is pushed.Average fuel consumption
(Mpg or L/100 km)The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pressing the “TRIP RESET”
or “FUEL ECON” button for more than approxi-
mately 1.5 seconds.The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 30 seconds and 1/3 miles (500
m) after a reset or connecting battery cable, the
display will show (----).
Distance to empty (dte — 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 constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to (*).
NOTE:
If 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.
When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.CLOCKThe digital clock displays time when the ignition
key is in ACC or ON.If the power supply is disconnected, the
clock will not indicate the correct time.
Readjust the time.
Adjusting the timeTo adjust the time, push the “H” or “M” button for
more than approximately 1.5 seconds. The time
indicator will flash.
Touch theHbutton to adjust the hour.

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, southern
Idaho, western South Dakota, western Ne-
braska, 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 en-
countered, have your vehicle checked at a
NISSAN dealer or other competent service fa-
cility.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
