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.
. Do not spray any liquid such as
water on the meter lens. Spraying
liquid may cause the system to
malfunction.

SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed
in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).

Odometer/twin trip odometer
Odometer/twin trip odometer
The odometerand twin trip odometerare displayed on the vehicle informa-
tion 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 dis-
tance 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).)

SIC4371
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 TEMPERATURE
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 possi-
ble. 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.

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.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty)
after the ignition switch is placed in 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 recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P.2-19).SIC4375
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrica-
tion 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 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 recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. Continued vehicle opera-
tion in such a condition could
cause serious damage to the en-
gine.
SIC4376
VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the volt meter indicates the
battery voltage. When the engine is run-
ning, 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 a
NISSAN dealer 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.2-27).)

WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS

CHECKING LIGHTS
With all doors closed, apply the parking
brake, fasten the seat belts and place the
ignition switch in the ON position without
starting the engine. The following lights (if
so equipped) will come on:
,or,,,,,
The following lights (if so equipped) will
come on briefly and then go off:
,or,,,,,,,,
If any light does not come on or operates
in a way other than described, it may
indicate a burned-out bulb and/or a
system malfunction. It is recommended
you have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed on the vehicle information dis-
play between the speedometer and tach-
ometer. (See “Vehicle information display”
(P.2-21).)
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking Sys-
tem (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake sys-
tem” (P.5-137).)
Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the light comes on for 2
seconds. If the light comes on at any
other time, it may indicate the transmis-
sion is not functioning properly. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
to check and repair the transmission.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
oil temperature warning light
This light illuminates when the Automatic
Transmission (AT) oil temperature is too
high. If the light illuminates while driving,
reduce the vehicle speed as soon as
safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when
the AT oil temperature warning light
is on may damage the AT.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (4WD models)
This light indicates that the Automatic
Transmission (AT) parking function is not
engaged. If the transfer control is not
secured in any driving position while the
AT shift lever is in the “P” (Park) position,
the transmission will disengage and the
wheels will not lock.
If the AT park warning light illuminates
with the shift lever in the P (Park)
position, shift the Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) shift switch to the AUTO, 4H or
4L position again with the shift lever in
the N (Neutral) position. (See “NISSAN all-
