WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 seconds,
then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch for a
long period of time when the engine is off.
This will discharge the battery.
SSS0928
Forward and backward (if so equipped):
Moving the switch
*1forward or backward will
slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position.
Reclining (if so equipped):
Move the recline switch
*2backward until the
desired angle is obtained. To bring the seatback
forward again, move the switch
*2forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of the
seatback for occupants of different sizes for
added comfort and to help obtain proper seat
belt fit. (See “Precautions on seat belt usage”
(P.1-10) .) The seatback may also be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the P (Park)
position or N (Neutral) position with the parking
brake fully applied.

METERS AND GAUGES

SIC3974
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM) .Do not rev the
engine into the red zone
*1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
engine speed. Operating the engine in
the red zone may cause serious engine
damage.
SIC3975
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge points within the
zone
*1shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the en-
gine. See “If your vehicle overheats”
(P.6-16) for immediate action required.

SIC3976
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “E” (Empty) .
The low fuel warning
appears on the vehicle
information display when the amount of fuel in
the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the gauge reaches
“E”. There will be a small reserve of fuel in the
tank when the fuel gauge reaches “E”.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is located on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light (MIL)
may come on. Refuel as soon as
possible. After a few driving trips,
the
light should turn off. If the
light remains on after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by
a NISSAN dealer.
. For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P.2-15) .

TRIPLE METER
Engine oil temperature gauge
Oil temperature, as well as the rate of
temperature change, will vary based on
ambient conditions and driving patterns.
Under normal operating conditions, oil
temperature will remain below 2808 F
(1408C) .
If the engine oil temperature gauge
*1indicates more than 2808F (1408C) while
driving, reduce the engine speed (RPM) .
