ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature. The engine coolant tempera-
ture is within the normal range
1when
the gauge needle points within the zone
shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies
with the outside air temperature and driv-
ing conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates coolant tempera-
ture near the hot (H) end of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
temperature. If the gauge is over the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon
as safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the ve-
hicle may seriously damage the engine.
For additional information, refer to “If
your vehicle overheats” in the “In case
of emergency ” section of this manual
for immediate action required.
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates the approximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during brak-
ing, turning, acceleration, or going up or
down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty)
af ter the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The low fuel warning light comes on when
the amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.

VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the voltmeter indicates the bat-
tery voltage. When the engine is running, it
indicates the generator voltage. To view
the digital gauge in the trip computer press
the INFO knob two times.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop
below the normal range. If the range is not
within the normal range (11 – 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 that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This gauge indicates the temperature of
the automatic transmission fluid. The au-
tomatic transmission fluid temperature is
in the normal range
1when the gauge
indication is within the zone shown in the
illustration. To view the digital gauge in the
trip computer, press the INFO knob three
times.
CAUTION
∙ This gauge is not designed to indicate low automatic transmission fluid
level. Use the dipstick to check the
fluid level. For additional information,
refer to “5-speed Automatic Trans-
mission Fluid (ATF)” and “7–speed Au-
tomatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)” in
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
∙ If the gauge indicates automatic transmission fluid temperature over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. Have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice. Continued operation of the ve-
hicle may seriously damage the
transmission.

WARNING
The tire rotation indicator is not a sub-
stitute for regular tire checks, including
tire pressure checks. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual. Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits
and road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting
the tire replacement indicator for a cer-
tain driving distance does not mean
your tires will last that long. Use the tire
replacement indicator as a guide only
and always perform regular tire checks.
Failure to perform regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks could re-
sult in tire failure. Serious vehicle dam-
age could occur and may lead to a colli-
sion, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.4. Other indicator This indicator and REMINDER message
appears when the customer’s set dis-
tance is achieved. This reminder can be
used for other maintenance items
such as air filter, brakes, or washer fluid.
You can set or reset the distance for
this reminder. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Setting mode” in this sec- tion. For scheduled maintenance items
and intervals, refer to the “Maintenance
and schedules” section of this manual.

brake is set and the vehicle is driven.
LOW FUEL warning
This warning illuminates in the message
area of the trip computer when the fuel
level in the fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as
soon as it is convenient, preferably before
the fuel gauge reaches E (Empty).
There
will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank
when the fuel gauge needle reaches E
(Empty).
TIRE PRES warning
This warning appears in the trip computer
if low tire pressure is detected while driving

warning light will also illuminate. The TIRE
PRES warning will appear and automati-
cally advance to the next screen af ter a
period of time or by pushing the INFO knob

If this warning appears, stop the vehicle
and adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in this section and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this

position, the ABS warning light illuminates
and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational.
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 that 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 without anti-
lock assistance. For additional information,
refer to “Brake system” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
Automatic Transmissioncheck warning light

position, the light comes on for about
2 seconds. If the light comes on at any
other time, it may indicate the automatic
transmission system is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Automatic Transmission oiltemperature warning light
This light comes on when the automatic
transmission oil temperature is too high. If
the light comes on while driving, reduce the
vehicle speed as soon as safely possible
until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the
A/T oil temperature warning light is on

orBrake warninglight
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on when the park-
ing brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake fluid
level. If the light comes on while the engine
is running, with the parking brake not ap-
plied, stop the vehicle and perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Brake fluid” in the “Do-
it-yourself ” section of this manual.

Driving could be dangerous. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for repairs.
Otherwise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be
dangerous.
∙ Pressing the brake pedal with the en- gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
∙ If the brake fluid level is below the MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Charge warning light
If this light comes on while the engine is
