Trip Computer
The trip computer can be enabled/disabled to
display in the vehicle information display when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.From the “Main Menu Selection” select “Trip
Computer” to display in the vehicle information
display when the ignition is placed in the ON
position.
1. Current fuel consumption and average
fuel consumption (MPG, l (liter) /100km or
km/l)
LIC2667
2-20Instruments and controls
Current fuel consumption:
The current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.
Average fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the
button
for longer than one second.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “_ _”.
2. Average speed (MPH or km/h)
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting is
done by pushing the
button for longer than
one second.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “_ _”.
3. Elapsed time and trip odometer (mile or
km)
Elapsed time:
The elapsed time mode shows the time since the
last reset. Resetting is done by pushing the
button for longer than one second.
(The trip odometer is also reset at same time.)
Trip odometer:
The trip odometer mode shows the total distance
the vehicle has been driven since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the
button
for longer than one second. (The elapsed time is
also reset at same time.)
4. Distance to empty (dte – mile or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly be-
ing calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated approximately every
30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display wil change to “_ _”.
● If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position may continue to
be displayed. ●
When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momentarily
change the display.
5. Navigation (if so equipped)
When the route guidance is set in the navigation
system, this item shows the navigation route in-
formation.
6. Audio
The audio mode shows the status of audio infor-
mation.
7. Driving aids (if so equipped)
The driving aids mode shows the operating con-
dition for the following systems. ● Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
● Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
● Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)/Lane Depar-
ture Warning (LDW)” and “Forward Collision
Warning (FCW)” in “Starting and Driving” for
more information.
8. Tire pressure
The tire pressure mode shows the pressure of all
four tires while the vehicle is driven. The axle
between the tires will also display the recom-
mended tire pressure.
Instruments and controls2-21
●If a methanol blend is used, it should
contain no more than 5% methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol) . It
should also contain a suitable amount
of appropriate cosolvents and corro-
sion inhibitors. If not properly formu-
lated with appropriate cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors, such methanol
blends may cause fuel system damage
and/or vehicle performance problems.
At this time, sufficient data is not avail-
able to ensure that all methanol blends
are suitable for use in NISSAN ve-
hicles.
If any driveability problems such as engine stall-
ing and difficult hot-starting are experienced after
using oxygenate-blend fuels, immediately
change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a
low blend of MTBE.
Take care not to spill gasoline during refu-
eling. Gasoline containing oxygenates can
cause paint damage.
E–15 fuel
E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15% fuel
ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline. E-15 can
only be used in vehicles designed to run on E-15
fuel. Do not use E-15 in your vehicle. U.S. gov-
ernment regulations require fuel ethanol dispens-
ing pumps to be identified with small, square, orange and black label with the common abbre-
viation or the appropriate percentage for that
region.
E–85 fuel
E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel
ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can
only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) . Do
not use E-85 in your vehicle. U.S. government
regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing
pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common abbreviation or
the appropriate percentage for that region.
Aftermarket fuel additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel injec-
tor cleaner, octane booster, intake valve deposit
removers, etc.) which are sold commercially.
Many of these additives intended for gum, varnish
or deposit removal may contain active solvents or
similar ingredients that can be harmful to the fuel
system and engine.
Octane rating tips
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended can cause
persistent, heavy “spark knock.” (“Spark
knock” is a metallic rapping noise.) If se-
vere, this can lead to engine damage. If youdetect a persistent heavy spark knock even
when using gasoline of the stated octane
rating, or if you hear steady spark knock
while holding a steady speed on level
roads, have a NISSAN dealer correct the
condition. Failure to correct the condition
is misuse of the vehicle, for which NISSAN
is not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing may result in spark
knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may
cause excessive fuel consumption or engine
damage. If any of the above symptoms are en-
countered, have your vehicle checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.
