Check tire pressure warning message
The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message is
displayed when the low tire pressure warning
light is illuminated and low tire pressure is de-
tected. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. The CHECK
TIRE PRES warning message turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off.
The low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure. The CHECK TIRE
PRES warning message is displayed each timethe ignition switch is placed in the ON position as
long as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated. For more information see “Low
tire pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving”
section, and “Wheels and tires” in the “Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself” section of this Owner’s
Manual.
TACHOMETER (if so equipped)
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm) .
Do not rev the engine into the red zone

CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce en-
gine speed. Operating the engine in the
red zone may cause serious engine
damage.

The gauge indicatesAtheapproximatefuel
level in the tank when the ignition switch is placed
in the ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
Type A: The fuel level segments will blink when
the amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Type B: The low fuel warning light will turn on
when the amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.

status. Then the oil display status switches to
odometer and twin trip odometer/trip computer
information mode that was displayed before the
ignition switch was placed in the ACC, OFF or
LOCK position.
The oil level display status provides specific in-
formation regarding your approximate engine oil
level.
If the oil level is sufficient, “Oil Good” is displayed
for approximately 10 seconds. If the oil level is
low, “Oil Lo” blinks for approximately 30 seconds
in order to draw your attention to necessary ac-
tion.
Quickly push and release the trip computer
change button
Aon the instrument panel lo-
cated near the speedometer
Bduring the “Oil
Good” or “Oil Lo” mode to display an approxi-
mate oil level indication.
In case of low engine oil level, see “Engine oil” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section for
the proper engine oil refilling procedure.
Oil change schedule set up
It is possible to adjust the interval distance to oil
change by pushing the trip computer change
button
Aon the instrument panel located near
the speedometer
Bfor 3 seconds while the
wrench symbol and distance to oil change are
displayed. The symbol and distance display will start flashing and the display shows the current
interval. Push the switch to increase the interval
distance. Each step increases the interval dis-
tance by 500 miles (1,000 km). The interval dis-
tance can be set up to 18,000 miles (30,000 km)
after which the display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display returns to
oil display status indication and the new interval is
set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display will
skip the distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode and will directly
display the oil display status (“Oil Good” or “Oil
Lo”) . In order to return to the distance to oil
change information and wrench symbol display
mode, push the trip computer change button
A
on the instrument panel located near the speed-
ometer
Bfor approximately 3 seconds after the
ignition switch has been turned to the ON posi-
tion, and adjust the distance to oil change sched-
ule as previously described.
See the Warranty Information & Maintenance
Booklet for the appropriate interval distance to oil
change.
CAUTION
● The oil level should be checked regu-
larly. Operating with insufficient
amount of oil level can damage the en-
gine and such damage is not covered by
the warranty.
● NISSAN recommends checking the oil
level every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

without starting the engine. The following lights
will come on:
or,,,,,
If equipped, the following lights come on briefly
and then go off:
or,(red) ,,or
SPORT,
,,,,
If any light fails to come on, it may indicate
a burned-out bulb or an open circuit in the
electrical system. Have the system repaired
promptly.
WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light illuminates and then turns off. This
indicates the ABS is operational. 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 by a NISSAN dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock func-
tion is turned off. The brake system then operates
normally, but without anti-lock assistance. See
“Brake system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion.
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake and
the foot brake systems.
Parking brake indicator
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light comes on when the parking
brake is applied.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake fluid level.
If the light comes on while the engine is running
with the parking brake not applied, stop the ve-
hicle and perform the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. See “Brake fluid” in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual. 2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the
warning system checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
WARNING
●Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on. Driv-
ing could be dangerous. If you judge it
to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed because driv-
ing it could be dangerous.
● Pressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
● If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake
warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate the
