TRIP COMPUTER
Switches for the trip computer are located
on the right side of the steering wheel. To
operate the trip computer, push the
switches.
Each time the
orswitch is pushed,
the display will change.
The display items for trip computer are
changed on the lower display. For details,
see the INFINITI InTouch
TMOwner’s Man-
ual.
1. Distance to empty (dte — mile or
km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you with an estimation of the distance that
can be driven before refueling. The dte is
constantly being calculated, based on the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual
fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the
dte display will change to “——”.
.
If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position may con-
tinue to be displayed.
. When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.
2. Vehicle speed (MPH or km/h)
The vehicle speed mode shows the current
vehicle speed and the average vehicle speed
since the last reset.
Average vehicle speed:
Resetting is done by pushing the
orswitch for longer than 1 second.
The average vehicle speed display is updated
every 30 seconds. The first 30 seconds after
a reset, the display shows “——”.
3. Elapsed time and trip odometer
(mile or km)
Elapsed time:
The elapsed time mode shows the time since
the last reset. Resetting is done by pushing
the
orswitch for longer than 1
second. (The trip odometer is also reset at
the same time.)
Trip odometer:
The trip odometer mode shows the total
distance the vehicle has been driven since
the last reset. Resetting is done by pushing
the
orswitch for longer than 1
second. (The elapsed time is also reset at the
same time.)
4. Current fuel consumption and
average fuel consumption (MPG, l
(liter)/100 km or km/l)
Current fuel consumption:
The current fuel consumption mode shows
the current fuel consumption.
Average fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption mode shows
the average fuel consumption since the last
reset. Resetting is done by pushing the
orswitch for longer than 1 second.
The average fuel consumption is also reset

10-6Technical and consumer information
may cause excessive fuel consumption or
damage to the engine. If any of the above
symptoms are encountered, have your ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for servicing.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is no
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATION
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade,
quality, and viscosity engine oil to ensure
satisfactory engine life and performance,
see “Capacities and recommended fluids/
lubricants” (P.10-2). INFINITI recommends
the use of an energy conserving oil in order
to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the Amer-
ican Petroleum Institute (API) certificationor International Lubricant Standardization
and Approval Committee (ILSAC) certifica-
tion and SAE viscosity standard. These oils
have the API certification mark on the front
of the container. Oils which do not have the
specified quality label should not be used as
they could cause engine damage.Oil additives
INFINITI does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not
necessary when the proper oil type is used
and maintenance intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has
been previously used should not be used.
