The low tire pressure warning light remains
illuminated until the tires are inflated to the
recommended COLD tire pressure. The
CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning mes-
sage is displayed each time the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position as long
as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in this section, “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section, and “Wheels
and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of
this manual.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Do not rev the engine into the red zone
1.
Page 121 of 516
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 theapproximatefuel
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.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge reg-
isters 0 (Empty). The
Page 122 of 516
DTE display will change to “---” when the
fuel level in the tank is getting low, prior to
the fuel gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:∙ The DTE value af ter refill is estimated
based on recent fuel economy and
amount of fuel added.
∙ If a small amount of fuel is added, or
the ignition is on during refueling, the
display may not be updated.
∙ Conditions that affect the fuel
economy will also affect the esti-
mated DTE value (city/highway driv-
ing, idle time, remote start time, ter-
rain, seasonal weather, added vehicle
weight, added deflectors, roof racks,
etc.).
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (if
so equipped)
The gauge indicates the engine lubrication
system oil pressure while the engine is run-
ning. The needle should be in the middle of
the gauge when the engine is running.

CHECKING LIGHTS
With all doors closed, apply the parking
brake, fasten the seat belts and place the

starting the engine. The following lights (if
so equipped) will come on:

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.

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The

WARNING
Pay special attention to your surround-
ings when using the clutch interlock
switch. The vehicle will move forward or
backward according to the gear
selected.
The clutch interlock (clutch start) switch
allows for starting the engine without de-
pressing the clutch pedal. This feature
helps you restart the engine if it stops un-
der difficult conditions. (For example, the
engine stops on a steep hill and a slight
movement forward or backward might be
dangerous.) To use the clutch interlock switch:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot.
3. Place your lef t foot on the brake pedal and release the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi- tion.
5. Push and release the clutch interlock switch. The CANCEL light on the switch
will illuminate.
6. Turn the ignition to the START position to start the engine and, at the same
time, depress the accelerator pedal
with your right foot. As the vehicle be-
gins to move, take your lef t foot off the
brake. Once the engine has started, the
clutch interlock switch CANCEL light
shuts off. Do not use the interlock
switch to start the engine under nor-
mal driving conditions.

∙ Do not use double adapters or morethan one electrical accessory.
∙ Use power outlets with the engine running to avoid discharging the ve-
hicle battery.
∙ Avoid using power outlets when the air conditioner, headlights or rear win-
dow defroster is on.
∙ Before inserting or disconnecting a plug, be sure the electrical accessory
being used is turned off.
∙ Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made, the plug
may overheat or the internal tem-
perature fuse may open.
∙ When not in use, be sure to close the cap. Do not allow water or any other
liquids to contact the outlet.
