2015 NISSAN SENTRA Owners Manual

The low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure. The CHECK TIRE
PRES warning message is displayed each time
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position as
long as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated. For additional information, re-
fer to “Low tire pressure warning light” in the
“Instruments and controls” section, “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting
and driving” and “Wheels and tires” section in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm) . Do not rev engine into
the red zone
1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, reduce engine speed. Operating the
engine in the red zone may cause serious
engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be placed in the
ON position for the gauge to give a reading.
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the reading is within the zone
Ashown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.

CAUTION
If the gauge indicates a coolant tempera-
ture near the hot (H) end of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
the temperature. If the gauge is over the
normal 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. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “If your ve-
hicle overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section for immediate action
required
FUEL GAUGE
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be placed in the
ON position for the gauge to give a reading.
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
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 arrow on the fuel pump symbol indi-
cates the fuel-filler location.
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 NISSAN dealer.
● For additional information, refer to
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
this section.

TRIP COMPUTER
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the modes of the trip computer can be
selected by pressing the
button on the
steering wheel. The following modes can be se-
lected:
● Trip A
● Trip B
● ECO Pedal Indicator
● Instant fuel economy
● Average fuel economy
● Average speed
● Distance to empty
● Trip computer reset
Trip symbol: A or B
Trip A
Measures the distance of one specific trip
1.
Trip B
Measures the distance of a second specific trip.
ECO Pedal Indicator Display
Use the ECO Pedal Indicator1for improving
fuel economy.
When the ECO Pedal Indicator bar is in the green
range, it displays the recommended accelerator
pedal position to optimize fuel economy.
If the ECO Pedal Indicator bar is out of green
range, the vehicle will not provide optimized fuel
economy.
NOTE:
The ECO Pedal Indicator’s bar is not displayed
when the cruise control is in operation.

AVE & INST fuel economy
When Average & Instant fuel economy informa-
tion is displayed, there will be different sections
to read:
AInstant fuel economy (BAR graph)
BAverage fuel economy (BAR & DIGIT)
The bar graph is not displayed when vehicle
speed is 0 mph (US market) or 0 km/h (Canada
market) .
Instant fuel economy
The instant fuel economy mode shows the instant
fuel economy. The display updates instantly when
driving.
Average fuel economy
The average fuel economy mode shows the av-
erage fuel economy since the last reset. Reset-
ting is done by pressing the
button on the
steering wheel for more than approximately
1 second. The display is updated every 30 sec-
onds. At about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a
reset, the display shows (----) .
Average speed
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since last reset. Resetting is done
by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel for more than approximately 1 second. The
display is updated every 30 seconds. The first
30 seconds after a reset, the display shows
(----) .
Distance to Empty
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 economy which will
depend on driving conditions. Dashes (—) indi-
cate that fuel remaining volume cannot be read by
fuel pump and should be refilled as soon as
possible.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.

NOTE:
When driving uphill or rounding curves, the

tarily change the display.
Trip computer reset
To reset Trip A, Trip B, AVG/mpg, or AVG/mph,
go to the desired mode on the trip computer and
hold the
button on the steering wheel for
more than 3 seconds.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The outside temperature function provides a dis-
play of the outside temperature when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position.
The display of positive temperatures is unsigned
(blank) , negative temperatures are prefixed with a
minus sign.
The outside temperature will always be visible on
the left side of the display. This unit measures terrestrial magnetism and in-
dicates the heading direction of the vehicle.

COMPASS DISPLAY
Push theorbutton for about 1 sec-
ond when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position to toggle the compass direction display
1on or off. The display will indicate the direction
that the vehicle is heading.

If the display reads “C”, calibrate the compass by
driving the vehicle in three complete circles at
less than 5 mph (8 km/h). You can also calibrate the compass by driving
your vehicle on your everyday route. The com-
pass will be calibrated once it has tracked three
complete circles.

Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north and geo-
graphical north is known as variance. In some
areas, this difference can sometimes be great
enough to cause false compass readings. Follow
these instructions to set the variance for your
particular location if this happens:1. Press and hold the
button for about
8 seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display. Release the button.
2. Find your current location on the zone map. Refer to the illustration.
3. Press the
button repeatedly to toggle
through the zone numbers until the desired
number appears in the display. Once you
have selected a zone number, the display
will show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction
The compass display is equipped with automatic
correction function. If the correct direction is not
shown, follow this procedure. 1. With the display turned on, press and hold the
for about 10 seconds. The “C”
icon in the compass display will illuminate.

2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehiclein three complete circles at a maximum
speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
3. After completing the circles, the display should return to normal.
CAUTION
●Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the op-
eration of the compass.
● When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it may
cause the liquid cleaner to enter the
mirror housing.
