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 odometer1and twin trip odometer2are
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. Changing the display :
Pushing the TRIP A/B RESET switch
3at 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
3for 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.
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.
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
1shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If 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 theapproximatefuel 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, themalfunction 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. When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the compass display
Bwill 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-

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
