CAUTION
. For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dam-
pened with water. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or any
kind of solvent or paper towel with a
chemical cleaning agent. They will
scratch or cause discoloration to the
lens.
. Do not spray any liquid such as water
on the meter lens. Spraying liquid
may cause the system to malfunction.
METERS AND GAUGES

SIC4369
Speedometer
SPEEDOMETER AND OD-
OMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in
miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
JVI0543X
Odometer/twin trip odometer
Odometer/twin trip odometer
The odometerand twin trip odometerare displayed on the vehicle information
display when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
The odometer records the total distance the
vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the distance
of individual trips.Changing the display:
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch
at the
bottom left of the combination meter panel
changes the display as follows:
TRIP A ?TRIP B ?TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer:
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch
for more
than 1 second resets the trip odometer to
zero.
Average fuel economy and distance to
empty information is also available. (See
“Vehicle information display” (P.2-21).)

TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM).Do not rev
the engine into the red zone
.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
engine speed. Operating the engine in
the red zone may cause serious engine
damage.
SIC4372
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA-
TURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge needle points
within the zone
shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with
the outside air temperature and driving
conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the engine.
See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-14)
for immediate action required.

SIC4374
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 0 (Empty) after
the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “0” (Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
vehicle information display when the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the gauge reaches “0”. There will be a small reserve of
fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle
reaches “0”.
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 (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. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
. For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-
19).SIC4375
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrication
system oil pressure while the engine is
running. When the engine speed is high, the
engine oil pressure is also high. When it is
low, the gauge indicates the low (L) oil
pressure.
The engine oil pressure is normal when the
gauge needle points within the zone
shown in the illustration.
CAUTION
.This gauge is not designed to indicate
low engine oil level. Use the dipstick
Instruments and controls2-9

2-10Instruments and controls
to check the oil level. (See “Engine oil”
(P.8-6).)
. If the gauge needle does not move
with the proper amount of engine oil,
have the vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. Continued vehicle
operation in such a condition could
cause serious damage to the engine.
SIC4376
VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, the volt meter indicates the
battery voltage. When the engine is running,
it indicates the generator voltage.
While cranking the engine, the volt drop
below the normal range. If the needle is not
in the normal range (10.5 to 15.5 volt) while
the engine is running, it may indicate that the
charging system is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
METER/RING ILLUMINATION
AND NEEDLE SWEEP
The ring illumination surrounding meters and
gauges illuminates when the driver’s door is
closed after getting into the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key carried in.
When the engine is started, the indicator
needles will sweep in the speedometer and
tachometer and the ring illumination will be
brightened gradually. This function can be
turned off. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-28).)
