ignition switch is pushed to the LOCK posi-
tion. This is not a malfunction.
SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in
miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour
(km/h).
Odometer/twin trip odometer The odometer
 1
and twin trip odometer
 2
are
displayed on the dot matrix crystal display
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.Speedometer SIC4289

Changing the display :
Pushing the TRIP A/B RESET switch
 3
at the
bottom left of the combination meter panel
changes the display as follows:
TRIP A → TRIP B → TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer :
Pushing the TRIP A/B RESET switch
 3
for more
than 1 second resets the trip odometer to zero.
Average fuel economy and distance to empty
information is also available. (See “DOT MATRIX
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY” later in this section
and “HOW TO USE STATUS BUTTON” in the “4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice rec-
ognition systems” section.)
TACHOMETER The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (RPM). Do not rev the engine
into the red zone
 1
.
CAUTIONWhen 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. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE The gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge needle points
within the zone
 1
shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions. SIC4290 SIC4291

CAUTIONIf the gauge indicates engine coolant tempera-
ture 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 ve-
hicle may seriously damage the engine. See “IF
YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS” in the “6. In case of
emergency” section for immediate action
required.
FUEL GAUGE The gauge indicates the approximate fuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after the
ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers
“E” (Empty).
The low fuel warning appears on the dot
matrix liquid crystal display when the fuel tank
is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is conve-
nient, 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 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 an
INFINITI retailer.
● For additional information, see “Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)” later in this section. SIC4292

When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the compass display
 B
will indicate
the direction of the vehicle’s heading.
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 cali-
brate the compass by driving your vehicle on your everyday route. The compass will be cali-
brated once it has tracked 3 complete circles.
To turn on and off the compass manually, push
the switch
 A
while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.SIC3181

ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE The 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 switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance
number on the zone map.
3. Push the switch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After you
release the switch, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
● If the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an INFINITI
retailer.
● The compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up
or down a steep hill.(The compass returns to
the correct compass point when the vehicle
moves to an area where the geomagnetism
is stabilized.)
