Speedometer
SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed
in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
METERS AND GAUGES

SIC3259
Odometer/twin trip odometer
Odometer/twin trip odometer
The odometer*1and twin trip odometer
*2are 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 dis-
tance 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” (P.2-21)
and “How to use STATUS button” (P.4-9).)
SIC3828
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). Do not rev
the engine into the red zone
*1.
The red zone varies with each models.
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
temperature.
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
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 and let the engine idle. If the
engine is overheated, continued operation
of the vehicle may seriously damage the
engine. See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-
11) for immediate action required.
SIC3256
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates the approximatefuel
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 level in the 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 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 “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-19).
METER/RING ILLUMINATION AND
NEEDLE SWEEP
The ring illumination surrounding meters
and gauges illuminates when the driver’s
door is closed after getting into the vehicle
with the Intelligent Key carried in.
When the engine is started, the indicator needles will sweep in the speedometer and
tachometer and the ring illumination will
be brightened gradually. This function can
be turned off. (See
“Trip computer”(P.2-
28).)
SIC3181
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
