TACHOMETERThe tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM) .Do not rev the
engine into the red zone
*1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
engine speed. Operating the engine in
the red zone may cause serious engine
damage.
SIC4123
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGEThe gauge
*1
indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge is within the zone
*2
shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If 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 en-
gine. See “IF YOUR VEHICLE OVER-
HEATS” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section for immediate action required.

*1
indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers 0 (empty) .
The low fuel warning light
illuminates when
the amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably
before the gauge reaches 0. There will be a
small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel
gauge reaches 0.The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is
located on the front passenger’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
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
later in this section.

When the outside air temperature becomes
378F(38C) or lower, the outside air temperature
display blinks to give a warning. The display will
stop blinking after 1 minute or when the outside
air temperature becomes 398F(48C) or above.
The display may differ from the actual outside
temperature displayed on various signs or bill-
boards.CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS-
MISSION (CVT) POSITION INDICATOR
(if so equipped)The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
position indicator indicates the selector lever
position when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

TRIP COMPUTERThe switch for the trip computer is located on
the meter panel.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, modes of the trip computer can be
selected by pushing the trip computer mode
switch
*A
.
Each time the trip computer mode switch
*A
is
pushed, the display will change as follows:
(TRIP A?TRIP B)?Current fuel consumption
?Distance to empty (dte)?Average fuel
consumption?Average speed?Elapsed time
(Canada only)?Maintenance information
(Canada only) (?TRIP A)
Current fuel consumptionThe current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.Distance to empty (dte — mls 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.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. When the fuel level is low, the dte mode
is automatically selected and the dte display will
blink. Push the trip computer mode switch
*A
to return to the mode that was selected before
the warning occurred.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “----”.
.If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
turned off may continue to be displayed.
.When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momenta-
rily change the display.
