SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHTThe supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the supplemental front air bag,
supplemental side air bag and curtain side-
impact and rollover air bag systems, and pre-
tensioner seat belt systems. The circuits moni-
tored by the supplemental air bag warning light
are the diagnosis sensor unit, crash zone sen-
sors, satellite sensors, rollover sensors, front air
bag modules, side air bag modules, curtain
side-impact/rollover air bag modules, and pre-
tensioner seat belts and all related wiring.After turning the ignition switch to the ON or
START position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds
if the system is operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
supplemental front air bag, supplemental side air
bag and curtain side-impact/rollover air bag
systems, and pre-tensioner seat belt systems
need servicing:
The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the supplemental front
air bags, supplemental side air bags, curtain
side-impact/rollover air bags and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt may not operate properly. It
must be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle
to a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warninglight is on, it could mean that the
supplemental front air bag, supplemen-
tal side air bag, curtain side-impact/
rollover air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt systems will not op-
erate in an accident. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDUREThe supplemental front air bags, supplemental
side air bags, curtain side-impact/rollover air
bags and pre-tensioner seat belt are designed to
activate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light will remain illuminated after inflation
has occurred. Repair and replacement of these
systems should be done only by a NISSAN
dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the supplemental front air bags, side air
bags, curtain side-impact/rollover air bags, re-
lated parts and pre-tensioner seat belt should be
pointed out to the person conducting the main-
tenance. The ignition switch should always be in
the LOCK position when working under the

SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
SpeedometerThe speedometer indicates vehicle speed.Odometer/Twin trip odometerThe odometer
1/twin trip odometer
2
are
displayed when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The odometer records the total distance the
vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the distance of
individual trips.Changing the display:
Pushing the reset button
3
located on the left
side of the meter panel changes the display as
follows:
TRIP A→TRIP B→TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer:
Pushing the reset button for more than 1 second
resets the trip odometer to zero.
Elapsed time, driving distance and average
speed information is also available. Refer to
“How to use the TRIP button” in the “4. Display
screen, heater, air conditioner and audio sys-
tems” section later in this manual.
TACHOMETERThe tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Do not rev engine into red zone
A.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear. Operating
the engine in the red zone may cause
serious engine damage.

The low fuel warning light comes on when
the fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon
as it is convenient, preferably before the
gauge reaches E. There will be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel
gauge needle reaches E.
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 vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see “Mal-
function indicator light (MIL)” later in
this section.When the compass switch
A
is pushed, the
compass display
B
will indicate the direction
the vehicle is heading.
N: north
E: east
S: south
W: west
If the display reads “C”, calibrate the compass
by driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at
less than 5 MPH (8 km/h).
You can also calibrate the compass by driving
your vehicle on your everyday route. The com-
pass will be calibrated once it has tracked 3
complete circles.

Zone variation change procedureThe difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass readings.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for
your particular location if this happens:
1. Push the compass switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will ap-
pear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance one
number on the zone map.
3. Push the compass switch until the new zone
number appears in the display. After you stop
pushing the switch in, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction:
1. With the display turned on, push the com-
pass switch for 3 seconds, until the zone
selection comes up (a number will be dis-
played in the mirror compass window).
2. Toggle until correct zone is found and release
switch.
3. It returns to the normal compass mode within
10 seconds of no switch activity.
