the vehicle is driven.
The twin trip odometer records the dis-
tance of individual trips.
Changing the display
For vehicles equipped with a twin trip
odometer, pressing the change/reset but-
ton changes the display as follows:

Loose fuel cap warning message
Press the change/reset buttonOAfor more
than 1 second to reset the LOOSE FUEL CAP
warning message af ter the fuel cap has
been tightened. For additional information,
refer to “Fuel-filler cap” in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section of this
manual.
Check tire pressure warning
message
The CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning
message is displayed when the low tire
pressure warning light is illuminated and
low tire pressure is detected. Check and
adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. The
CHECK TIRE PRES (pressure) warning mes-
sage turns off when the low tire pressure
warning light turns off. 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.

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
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
Af ter a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
af ter a few driving trips, have the ve-
hicle inspected. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
• For additional information, refer to
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
this section.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the ve-
hicle can be driven before refueling. The
value is calculated based on recent fuel
economy, the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank, and the actual fuel consump-
tion.
Changes in driving patterns or conditions
can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result,
the value displayed may differ from the ac-
tual distance that can be driven. 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 estimated
DTE value (city/highway driving, idle
time, remote start time, terrain, sea-
sonal weather, added vehicle weight,
added deflectors, roof racks, etc.).

TRIP COMPUTER (if so equipped)
The display of the trip computer is situated
in the speedometer display. When the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON position, the

sen before the ignition switch was placed
in the OFF position.When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, modes of the trip computer can
be selected by pressing the change/reset
button. The following modes can be se-
lected:
Average fuel consumption (Mpg
or l/100km)
The average fuel consumption mode
shows the average fuel consumption since
the last reset. Resetting is done by pressing
the change/reset button for more than ap-
proximately 1 second. The display is up-
dated every 30 seconds. At about the first
1/3 miles (500 m) af ter a reset, the display
shows (----).
Average speed (mph or km/h)
The average speed mode shows the aver-
age vehicle speed since last reset. Reset-
ting is done by pressing the change/reset
button for more than approximately 1 sec-
ond. The display is updated every 30 sec-
onds. The first 30 seconds af ter a reset, the
display shows (----).

since the last reset. The displayed time can
be reset by pressing the change/reset but-
ton for more than approximately 1 second.
Trip computer reset
Pressing the change/reset button for
more than 3 seconds will reset all modes
except Trip A and distance to empty.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY (if so
equipped)

• When the outside temperature is be-tween 140°F (60°C) and 194°F (90°C), the
display will read 140°F (60°C). When the
temperature is above 194°F (90°C), the
display will read “SC.”
• When the outside temperature is be- tween than -40°F (-40°C) and -60°F (-51°C),
the display will read -40°F (-40°C). When
the temperature is below -60°F (-51°C),
the display will read “OC.” • The outside temperature sensor is lo-
cated in front of the radiator. The sensor
may be affected by road or engine heat,
wind direction and other driving condi-
tions. The display may differ from the ac-
tual outside temperature or the tem-
perature displayed on various signs or
billboards.
COMPASS
Press theorbutton for about 1
second when the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position to toggle the outside
temperature and compass direction dis-
play
O1on or off. The display will indicate
the direction that the vehicle is heading.
N: North
E: East
S: South
W: West If the display reads “C,” calibrate the com-
pass by driving the vehicle in three com-
plete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
You can also calibrate the compass by driv-
ing your vehicle on your everyday route.
The compass will be calibrated once it has
tracked three complete circles.LIC0583

Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north
and geographical north is known as vari-
ance. In some areas, this difference can
sometimes be great enough to cause false
compass readings. Follow these instruc-
tions to set the variance for your particular
location if this happens:
1. Press and hold the
button for about
11 seconds or thebutton for about 8
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display. Release the button.
2. Find your current location on the zone map. Refer to the illustration.
3. Press the
or thebutton re-
peatedly to toggle through the zone
numbers until the desired number ap-
pears in the display. Once you have se-
lected a zone number, the display will
show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
