– Continued driving after maintenance due alert reaches 0 km (miles) may result in reduced
engine performance. The engine malfunction
indicator light (orange) will illuminate.
– The DPF (where fitted) may also become satu- rated because regeneration is restricted once
the distance equals 0 km (miles)
Always visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop to perform the maintenance and the reset.
2-14Instruments and controls

Even if the alert is not on, there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards caused by in-
clement weather.
NOTE
The outside air temperature sensor is located at
the front of the vehicle. At low speeds the sensor
can be affected by engine heat, heat reflected
from the road surface and exhaust from other
vehicles, these influences can cause the display
to be inaccurate. To compensate, the outside air
temperature display is designed to react slowly
to increasing temperatures, but quickly to falling
temperatures.
j24Low fuel warning

(distance to empty). The range is constantly being
calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank and the actual fuel consumption.
When the fuel level gets close to empty, the range
will change to “----”.
If the amount of fuel added is small, the display
just before the ignition switch is turned to the
“OFF” position may continue to be displayed.
When driving uphill or corners, the fuel in the
tank shifts, this may momentarily change the dis-
play.
