CAUTION
.
For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dampened
with water. Never use a rough cloth,
alcohol, benzine, thinner or any kind of
solvent or paper towel with a chemical
cleaning agent. They will scratch or
cause discoloration to the lens.
. Do not spray any liquid such as water on
the meter lens. Spraying liquid may
cause the system to malfunction.
METERS AND GAUGES

SIC4369
Speedometer
SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed
in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
JVI0543X
Odometer/twin trip odometer
Odometer/twin trip odometer
The odometer*1and twin trip odometer
*2are displayed on the dot matrix liquid
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 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 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.)

SIC4371
TACHOMETER
The 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.
SIC4372
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. If the engine is overheated,
continued operation of the vehicle may
seriously damage the engine. See “If your
vehicle overheats” in the“6. In case of
emergency” section for immediate action
required.

SIC4374
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 pushed to the OFF
position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “0”(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 convenient, preferably before the gauge
reaches
“0”. There will be a small reserve
of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge
needle reaches “0”.
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 an INFINITI retailer.
. For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” later in
this section.SIC4375
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrication
system oil pressure while the engine is
running. When the engine speed is high,
the engine oil pressure is also high. When
it is low, the gauge indicates the low (L) oil
pressure.
The engine oil pressure is normal when the
gauge needle points within the zone
*1
shown in the illustration.
Instruments and controls2-9

2-10Instruments and controls
CAUTION
.This gauge is not designed to indicate
low engine oil level. Use the dipstick to
check the oil level. (See “Engine oil”in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.)
. If the gauge needle does not move with
the proper amount of engine oil, have
the vehicle checked by an INFINITI
retailer. Continued vehicle operation in
such a condition could cause serious
damage to the engine.
SIC4376
VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the volt meter indicates the
battery voltage. When the engine is run-
ning, it indicates the generator voltage.
While cranking the engine, the volt drop
below the normal range. If the needle is
not in the normal range (10.5 to 15.5 volt)
while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the charging system is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
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”later in
this section.)
