2018 NISSAN VERSA NOTE odometer

The distance to empty includes a low
range warning feature: when the fuel level
is low, the distance to empty is automati-
cally selected and the digits blink in order
to draw the driver’s attention. Press the trip
computer change/reset button if you wish
to return to the mode that was selected
before the warning occurred.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the
distance to empty will display (----).
Average speed
The average speed mode shows the aver-
age vehicle speed since the last reset. Re-
setting is done by pushing the menu but-
ton on the steering wheel for longer than
1 second.
Travel time
The travel time mode (elapsed time) shows
the time since the last reset. The displayed
time can be reset by pushing the menu
button on the steering wheel for longer
than 1 second.
Trip computer reset
Type A (if so equipped):Pushing the
change button for more than 3 seconds
will reset all modes except Trip A and Dis-
tance To Empty (DTE).Type B (if so equipped):Pushing the menu
button
on the steering wheel for
more than 3 seconds will reset average fuel
economy, average speed and travel time.
Outside air temperature (ICY-°F or
°C) (if so equipped)
The outside air temperature is displayed in
°F or °C.
The outside air temperature mode in-
cludes a low temperature warning feature:
below 37°F (3°C), the outside air tempera-
ture mode is automatically selected and
ICY will illuminate in order to draw the driv-
er’s attention. Press the trip or change but-
ton to toggle to the next mode, if desired.
The ICY indicator will remain illuminated as
long as the temperature remains below
39°F (4°C).
The ambient temperature sensor is lo-
cated in front of the radiator. The sensor
may be affected by road or engine heat,
wind directions and other driving condi-
tions. The display may differ from the ac-
tual ambient temperature or the tempera-
ture displayed on various signs or
billboards.
SERVICE INTERVAL REMINDER (if
so equipped)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, a wrench symbol and the dis-
tance to oil change information will illumi-
nate on the display for approximately
5 seconds. The wrench symbol and dis-
tance to oil change switch to oil display
status. The oil display status then switches
to the odometer and twin trip odometer
information mode that was displayed be-
fore the ignition switch was placed in the
ACC, OFF or LOCK position.
The oil level display status provides specific
information regarding your approximate
engine oil level.
If the oil level is sufficient, “Oil Good” is dis-
played for approximately 10 seconds. If the
oil level is low, “Oil Lo” blinks for approxi-
mately 30 seconds in order to draw your
attention to necessary action.
Quickly push and release the trip odometer
reset switch on the instrument panel lo-
cated near the speedometer during the
“Oil Good” or “Oil Lo” mode to display an
approximate oil level indication.
2-12Instruments and controls

In case of low engine oil level, refer to “En-
gine oil” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section for
the proper engine oil refilling procedure.
Oil change schedule set up (if so
equipped)
It is possible to adjust the interval distance
to oil change by pushing the trip odometer
reset switch on the instrument panel lo-
cated near the speedometer for 3 seconds
while the wrench symbol and distance to
oil change are displayed. The symbol and
distance display will start flashing and the
display shows the current interval. Push
the switch to increase the interval distance.
Each step increases the interval distance
by 500 mi (1,000 km). The interval distance
can be set up to 18,000 mi (30,000 km) af ter
which the display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display
returns to oil display status indication and
the new interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display
will skip the distance to oil change informa-
tion and wrench symbol display mode and
will directly display the oil display status (“Oil
Good” or “Oil Lo”). In order to return to the
distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode, push the trip
computer change button on the instru-ment panel located near the speedometer
for approximately 3 seconds af ter the igni-
tion switch has been turned to the ON po-
sition, and adjust the distance to oil change
schedule as previously described.
For additional information, refer to “Stan-
dard maintenance” in the “Maintenance
and schedules” section of this manual.
CAUTION
∙ The oil level should be checked regu-
larly. Operating with insufficient
amount of oil level can damage the
engine and such damage is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
∙ NISSAN recommends checking the oil level every 3,000 mi (5,000 km).
Instruments and controls2-13

Malfunction Indicator Light(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The
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 gal
(11.4 L) of fuel in the fuel tank.
Af ter a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emis-
sion control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance
test. For additional information, refer to
“Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance
(I/M) test” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual. Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
∙ MIL on steady — An emission control system malfunction has been de-
tected. Check the fuel-filler cap. If the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message is
displayed in the odometer, and the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
light should turn off
af ter a few driving trips. If the
light
does not turn off af ter a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. You do not need
to have your vehicle towed to the
dealer.
∙ MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been detected which may damage the
emission control system. To reduce or
avoid emission control system dam-
age:
– do not drive at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h);
– avoid hard acceleration or decelera- tion;
– avoid steep uphill grades; – if possible, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled.
The MIL may stop blinking and come on
steady. Have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that 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, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
Overdrive OFF indicator light (if so equipped)
The overdrive OFF indicator light illumi-
nates when the overdrive OFF mode is se-
lected.
For additional information, refer to “Driving
the vehicle” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
2-22Instruments and controls

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) (if so equipped)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, and the CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure)
warning message is displayed in the
odometer, one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated. If the vehicle is be-
ing driven with low tire pressure, the TPMS
will activate and warn you of it by the low
tire pressure warning light. This system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). For addi-
tional information, refer to “Warning lights,
indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “Instruments and controls” section, and
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affectelectric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use. ∙ If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
the vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may per-
manently damage the tires and in-
crease the likelihood of tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label to turn the low tire pres-
sure warning light OFF. If you have a
flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible.
∙ When replacing a wheel without TPMS such as the spare tire, TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain
on af ter 1 minute. Have your tires re-
placed and/or TPMS system reset as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
these services. ∙ Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
∙ Replacing tires with those not origi- nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions
below:
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and
away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Shif t the manual trans-
mission into R (Reverse) or the Continu-
ously Variable Transmission (CVT) into
P (Park).
4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to signal professional road assis-
tance personnel that you need assis-
tance.
FLAT TIRE
In case of emergency6-3

If you have a flat tire, refer to “Flat tire” in
the “In case of emergency ” section of
this manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if so equipped)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely af-
fect electric medical equipment.
Those who use a pacemaker
should contact the electric medi-
cal equipment manufacturer for
the possible influences before
use.
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
It monitors tire pressure of all tires
except the spare. When the low tire
pressure warning light is lit, and the
CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning
message displays in the odometer,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system
may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).
For additional information, refer to
“Low tire pressure warning light” in
the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section, and “Flat tire” in the “In
case of emergency” section of this
manual.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including
the spare) of ten and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
certification label or the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire
and Loading Information label is af-
fixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly because: ∙ Most tires naturally lose air over
time.
∙ Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a
curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be
checked when the tires are cold. The
tires are considered COLD af ter the
vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
The TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert (if
so equipped) provides visual and au-
dible signals outside the vehicle for
inflating tires to the recommended
COLD tire pressure. For additional in-
formation, refer to “TPMS with Easy-
Fill Tire Alert” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.
WHEELS AND TIRES
8-28Do-it-yourself

To help ensure smooth, safe and economi-
cal driving, NISSAN provides two mainte-
nance schedules that may be used, de-
pending upon the conditions in which you
usually drive. These schedules contain
both distance and time intervals, up to
120,000 miles (192,000 km)/144 months. For
most people, the odometer reading will in-
dicate when service is needed. However, if
you drive very little, your vehicle should be
serviced at the regular time intervals
shown in the schedule.
Af ter 120,000 miles (192,000 km)/
144 months, continue maintenance at
the same mileage/time intervals.ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS
FOR SEVERE OPERATING
CONDITIONS
Additional maintenance items for severe
operating conditionsshould be per-
formed on vehicles that are driven under
especially demanding conditions. Addi-
tional maintenance items should be per-
formed if you primarily operate your vehicle
under the following conditions:
∙ Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
∙ Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside tempera-
tures remaining below freezing.
∙ Operating in hot weather in stop- and-go “rush hour” traffic.
∙ Extensive idling and/or low speed driv- ing for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
∙ Driving in dusty conditions.
∙ Driving on rough, muddy or salt spread roads.
∙ Using a car-top carrier. NOTE:
For vehicles operated in Canada, both
standard and severe maintenance items
should be performed at every interval.
