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 E (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.

ters E (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 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 in-
spected by a NISSAN dealer.
● For additional information, refer to
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
this section.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrication sys-
tem oil pressure while the engine is running. The
indicator should be in the middle of the gauge
when the engine is running. The digital gauge
displays in the vehicle information display by
pressing the INFO button one time.

CAUTION
●This gauge is not designed to indicate
low automatic transmission fluid level.
Use the dipstick to check the fluid level.
For additional information, refer to “5-
speed automatic transmission fluid” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.
● If the gauge indicates automatic trans-
mission fluid temperature over the nor-
mal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. Have the vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer. Continued
operation of the vehicle may seriously
damage the transmission. This unit measures terrestrial magnetism and in-
dicates heading direction of vehicle.
With the ignition switch in the ON position, press
the

to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driv-
ing it could be dangerous.
● Pressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort and pedal travel.
● If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
