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 will 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.
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
1.5 seconds. The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “_ _”.
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 pressing
the
button for longer than 1.5 seconds.
(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 pressing the
button
for longer than 1.5 seconds. (The elapsed time is
also reset at same time.)
Current fuel consumption and average
fuel consumption (MPG, l (liter)/
100km or km/l)
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.
2-20Instruments and controls
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. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
servicing.
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.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality
and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory
engine life and performance. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities” in this section. NISSAN recom-
mends the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American
Petroleum Institute (API) certification or Interna-
tional Lubricant Standardization and ApprovalCommittee (ILSAC) certification and SAE vis-
cosity standard. These oils have the API certifica-
tion mark on the front of the container. Oils which
do not have the specified quality label should not
be used as they could cause engine damage.Oil additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not neces-
sary when the proper oil type is used and main-
tenance intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been
previously used should not be used.
