■Elapsed time (after reset*2/after start)*1
Displays the elapsed time since the function was reset and the engine was
started, respectively
■Distance (driving range/after start)*1
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with the quantity
of fuel remaining and the distance driven after the engine was started respec-
tively.
• This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a result,
the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be
updated.
When refueling, turn the engine switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without turning
the engine switch off, the display may not be updated.
■Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display
P. 9 4
■Boost Meter/Oil Temperature Gauge/Oil Pressure Gauge (if equipped)
Boost Meter:
Displays the boost pressure. The display changes colors when the set pres-
sure is exceeded.
Oil Temperature Gauge:
Displays the temperature of the engine oil. The display flashes when the
engine oil exceeds 284°F (140°C). ( P. 5 5 7 )
Oil Pressure Gauge:
Displays the oil pressure for the engine interior. A buzzer sounds and warning
message is displayed when the oil pressure gets low. ( P. 5 5 7 )
Depending on the road conditions, temperature, vehicle speed, etc., the actual
vehicle condition on the display screen may differ.
Use the display screen as a reference.
■G monitor (if equipped)
Displays the acceleration forces of the fr ont, back, left and right of the vehicle.
Also displays the turning angle of th e steering wheel, brake oil pressure,
accelerator opening.
• The actual vehicle conditions may differ from those on the display screen, depend- ing on the road conditions, outside temperature, vehicle speed, etc.
Use the display screen as a reference.
• If a battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected, the steering amount display
may be disabled temporarily. After drivin g the vehicle for a while, the display will
be enabled.
■Tire inflation pressure
Displays inflation pressure of each tire.
The inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be displayed.

■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire information cannot be determined due to unfavorable
radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The drive information will be reset.
■Liquid crystal display

■Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be operating during setting up the display, ensure that the vehi-
cle is parked in a place with adequate vent ilation. In a closed area such as a garage,
exhaust gases including harmful carbon mo noxide (CO) may collect and enter the
vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■The multi-information disp lay at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information
display. At extremely low temperatures, th e information display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
■During setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that th e engine is operating while setting up the
display features.

Driving
NX200t_OM_USA_OM78081U
●When the lane markers are on a curb, etc.
●When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete
●When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light
●When driving in a location where the light level changes rapi dly, such as the entrance to
or exit from a tunnel
●When sunlight or the headlights of oncoming vehicles are shining directly into the cam-
era lens
●When driving on roads that are branching or merging
●When driving on a hill
●When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven
●When driving on rough or unpaved roads
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unus ual amount due to a heavy load or improper
tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short
●When the vehicle experiences strong up-and -down motion such as when driving on an
extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
● When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses, or when
the headlights are misaligned
●When receiving a side wind
■When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, such as snow tires, etc., sufficient performance may not be
maintainable.
■Warning messages for the LDA
Warning messages are used to indicate a syst em malfunction or to inform the driver of
the need for caution while driving. If a wa rning message is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display, read the message and follow the instructions.
Also, even if a warning message is displayed, it will not impede normal driving.
■ When turning on/off the steering control function
From “Settings display” ( P. 92) of the multi-information display, the steering
control function can be turned on/off.
Pressing the or meter control switches ( P. 92), selects
With each press of meter control switch es, the control switches between “On” and
“Off”
■Sensitivity adjustment for th e lane deviation alert buzzer
From
“Settings display” ( P. 92) of the multi-information display, the alert sensi-
tivity for the alert buzzer when deviating from the lane can be adjusted.
Pressing the or meter control switches ( P. 92), selects
With each press of meter control switches, the control switches between “High”
and “Standard”

Doors• Do the doors operate smoothly?
Engine hood• Does the engine hood lock system work properly?
Fluid leaks• There should not be any si gns of fluid leakage after
the vehicle has been parked.
Ti r e s
• Is the tire inflation pressure correct?
• The tires should not be damaged or excessively worn.
• Have the tires been rotated according to the mainte- nance schedule?
• The wheel nuts should not be loose.
Windshield wipers/
rear window wiper
• The wiper blades should no t show any signs of crack-
ing, splitting, wear, contamination or deformation.
• The wiper blades should clear the windshield/rear
window without streaking or skipping.

WA R N I N G
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move suddenly,
become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury, observe
the following precautions.
■When working on the engine compartment
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right after driving
as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the engine
compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery. Fuel and
battery fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautions when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and corro-
sive sulfuric acid.
■When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode, the electric cooling fans may auto-
matically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high.
( P. 4 9 7 )
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or fallin g material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in
your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt
in the air.
