Type B:The check tire pressure warning mes-
sage is displayed when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low tire pressure
is detected; the corresponding tire with low pres-
sure will appear blinking. Check and adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the tire and Loading Informa-
tion label. TPMS Sensor ID Matching Process After
Tire Rotation (if so equipped)
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification
code. Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or
replace one or more of the TPMS sensors, these
identification codes need to be matched to the
new tire/wheel position to make sure that the low
tire pressure display in the meter is correct. The
identification codes are matched to their posi-
tions using a TPMS diagnostic tool. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
The low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure.
Type A Only: The CHECK TIRE PRES warn-
ing message is displayed each time the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position
as long as the low tire pressure warning
light remains illuminated.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in this section, “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in “Starting and driv-
ing” and “Wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of this manual.TACHOMETER

SERVICE INTERVAL REMINDER
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, a wrench symbol and the distance to oil
change information will illuminate on the display
for approximately 5 seconds. The wrench symbol
and distance to oil change switch to oil display
status. Then the oil display status switches to
odometer and twin trip odometer/trip computer
information mode that was displayed before the
ignition switch was placed in the ACC, OFF or
LOCK position.
The oil level display status provides specific infor-
mation regarding your approximate engine oil level.
For additional information, refer to “Engine oil” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section of
this manual.
Oil change schedule set up
It is possible to adjust the interval distance to oil
change by pushing the trip computer change
button on the instrument panel located near the
speedometer for 3 seconds while the wrench
symbol and distance to oil change are displayed.
The symbol and distance display will start flash-
ing and the display shows the current interval.
Push the switch to increase the interval distance.
Each step increases the interval distance by 500 mi (1,000 km). The interval distance can be set
up to 18,000 mi (30,000 km) after which the
display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display returns to oil
display status indication and the new interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display will
skip the distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode. In order to return to
the distance to oil change information and wrench
symbol display mode, push the trip computer
change button on the instrument panel located
near the speedometer for approximately 3 seconds
after the ignition switch has been turned to the ON
position, and adjust the distance to oil change
schedule as previously described.
Refer to the Warranty Information & Maintenance
Booklet for the appropriate interval distance to oil
change.
CAUTION
●
The oil level should be checked regu-
larly. Operating with insufficient
amount of oil level can damage the en-
gine and such damage is not covered by
the warranty.
● NISSAN recommends checking the oil
level every 3,000 mi (5,000 km).
