SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.
Odometer/Twin trip odometer
The odometer1and the twin trip odometer2
are displayed below the Vehicle Information Dis-
play when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
The odometer records the total distance the ve-
hicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the distance of
individual trips.LIC2217

METERS AND GAUGES
2-4Instruments and controls

Changing the display:
Pushing the TRIP RESET
3switch on the right
of the combination meter to change the display
as follows:
Trip
→Trip→Trip
Resetting the trip odometer:
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch
3for more
than 1 second resets the currently displayed trip
odometer to zero.
Average fuel economy and distance to empty
information is also available. See “Vehicle Infor-
mation Display” in this 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 en-
gine speed. Operating the engine in the
red zone may cause serious engine
damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range
1when the gauge needle points
within the zone shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.

Instruments and controls2-5

CAUTION
If the gauge indicates coolant tempera-
ture near the hot (H) end of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
temperature. If the gauge is over the nor-
mal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine. See “If
your vehicle overheats” in the “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 0 (Empty) after the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
The low fuel warning light comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters 0 (Empty) .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, 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 a INFINITI retailer.
●For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” later in
this section.

Air recirculation
Press theair recirculation button to recir-
culate interior air inside the vehicle. The
indicator light on the button will come on.
The air recirculation cannot be activated when
the air conditioner is in the
front defrosting
mode or the
front defrosting and foot out-
let mode.
Automatic intake air control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be con-
trolled automatically. To manually control the in-
take air, press the
air recirculation button.
To return to the automatic control mode, press
and hold the
air recirculation button for
about 2 seconds. The indicator light will flash
twice, and then the intake air will be controlled
automatically.
Air flow control
Press thebutton to manually control air
flow. Pressing the button repeatedly will cycle
through the available modes and display the cor-
responding icon on the center display:
— Air flows from center and side
vents.
— Air flows from center and side
vents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
— Air flows from defroster and foot
outlets.
— Air flows from defroster outlets.
To turn system off
Press the OFF button.
OPERATING TIPS
●When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.The sunload sensor, located on the top driver’s
side of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put any-
thing on or around this sensor.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
1. ACCEL/RES switch
2. COAST/SET switch
3. CANCEL switch
4. ON·OFF switch
●If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The SET indicator
in the vehicle information display will blink to
warn the driver.
●If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.
●If the SET indicator blinks, turn the cruise
control main switch off and have the system
checked by your INFINITI retailer.●The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the ACCEL/RES,
COAST/SET or CANCEL switch. To prop-
erly set the cruise control system, perform
the steps below in the order indicated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
●when it is not possible to keep the ve-
hicle at a set speed
●in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in
speed
●on winding or hilly roads
●on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
●in very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 MPH (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
ON·OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the vehicle information display will illuminate.
