CAUTION
. For cleaning, use a soft cloth,
dampened 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.

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximate
fuel level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going
up or down hills.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “E” (Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
vehicle information display when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refuel as soon as it is convenient, pre-
ferably before the gauge reaches “E”.
There will be a small reserve of fuel in
the tank when the fuel gauge reaches “E”. The
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the passenger’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 recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P.2-16).

TRIPLE METER
Engine oil temperature gauge
Oil temperature, as well as the rate of
temperature change, will vary based on
ambient conditions and driving pat-
terns. Under normal operating condi-
tions, oil temperature will remain below
280°F (140°C).
If the engine oil temperature gauge
indicates more than 280°F (140°C) while
driving, reduce the engine speed (RPM).
Page 79 of 453
When the engine oil temperature is
high, the engine protection mode,
which helps reduce the chance of en-
gine damage, could activate and auto-
matically decrease engine power.
Voltmeter
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the volt meterindicates
the battery voltage. When the engine is
running, it indicates the generator vol-
tage.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop
below the normal range. If the needle is
not in the normal range (11 to 15 volts)
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 a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Clock
If necessary, adjust the clockon the
vehicle information display. (See “Clock”
(P.2-27).)
If the power supply is disconnected, the
clock will not indicate the correct time.
Readjust the time.
