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).
2-14Instruments and controls
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire (if so equipped)
or repair it with the tire puncture
repair kit (if so equipped) as soon
as possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
. Since the spare tire is not
equipped with the TPMS, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for
the regular tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure
regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified
size of tires to the four wheels
correctly.
Master warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the master warning light illumi-
nates if any of the following are displayed
on the vehicle information display:
.No key warning
. Low fuel warning
. Low washer fluid warning
. Parking brake release warning
. Door/rear hatch/trunk open warning
. Loose fuel cap warning
. Check tire pressure warning
. Extended storage fuse warning
See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-19).
Seat belt warning light and
chime
The light and chime remind you to fasten
seat belts. The light illuminates whenever
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, and will remain illuminated until
the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the
same time, the chime will sound for about
6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is
securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light for the front
passenger will illuminate if the seat belt is
not fastened when the front passenger’s
seat is occupied. For approximately 5
seconds after the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the system does not
activate the warning light for the front
passenger.
See “Seat belts” (P.1-10) for precautions on
seat belt usage.
Supplemental air bag warning
light
After pushing the ignition switch to the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light will illuminate. The air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the front air bag, side air bag
and curtain air bag systems and/or pre-
tensioner system are operational.
2-16Instruments and controls
Front passenger air bag sta-
tus light
The front passenger air bag status light
(), located on the center of the instru-
ment panel, will be lit and the passenger
front air bag will be OFF depending on
how the front passenger seat is being
used.
For front passenger air bag status light
operation, see “NISSAN Advanced Air Bag
System (front seats)” (P.1-36) of this man-
ual.
High beam indicator light
This light comes on when the headlight
high beam is on and goes out when the
low beam is selected.
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
If the malfunction indicator light comes
on steady or blinks while the engine is
running, it may indicate a potential emis-
sion control malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also
come on steady if the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, or if the vehicle runs out
of fuel. Check to make sure the fuel-filler
cap is installed and closed tightly, and
that the vehicle has at least 3 US gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential
emission control system malfunction ex-
ists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20
seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indi-
cates that the vehicle is not ready for an
emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test” (P.10-
25).)
Operation:
The malfunction indicator light will come
on in one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady
— An emission control system mal-
function has been detected. Check
the fuel-filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL
CAP warning appears in the vehicle
information display. If the fuel-filler
cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive
the vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light does not turn off after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle in-
spected. It is recommended you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service. You
do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking —
An engine misfire has been detected
which may damage the emission
control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control
system damage:
1) Do not drive at speeds above 45
MPH (72 km/h).
2) Avoid hard acceleration or decel- eration.
3) Avoid steep uphill grades.
4) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may
stop blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected. It is re-
commended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control sys-
tem.
