*2are displayed on the dot matrix crystal
display when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the dis-
tance of individual trips.
Changing the display:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407Pushing the TRIP A/B RESET switch*3at
the bottom left of the combination meter
panel changes the display as follows: TRIP A

Resetting the trip odometer:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407Pushing the TRIP A/B RESET switch*3for
more than 1 second resets the trip
odometer to zero.
Average fuel economy and distance to
empty information is also available. (See
“Dot matrix liquid crystal display” (P.2-20)
and “How to use STATUS button” (P.4-9).)

TACHOMETERGUID-273B358F-40B0-4C4E-9967-70C4BF4F89C7The 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.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
GUID-0EBFAC15-E62D-4FAB-ADAB-7BCC3D24A957The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within
the normal range when the gauge needle
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 engine. See “If your
vehicle overheats” (P.6-10) for immediate
action required.

FUEL GAUGEGUID-A6CE9D87-1196-4EDB-BE07-B0479D286BC3The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning, acceleration, or going up
or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after
the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge
registers “E”(Empty).
The low fuel warning
appears on the
dot matrix liquid crystal display when the
fuel 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
needle 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, the
malfunction 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 an INFINITI retailer.
. For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-18).

by driving your vehicle on your everyday
route. The compass will be calibrated once
it has tracked 3 complete circles.

ZONE VARIATION CHANGE PROCE-
DURE
GUID-E09E8E8D-3C27-49AC-9DF4-41F27EDC4D72The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance.
In some areas, this difference can some-
times be great enough to cause false
compass readings. Follow these instruc-
tions to set the variance for your particular
location if this happens:
1. Push the
switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance number on the zone map.
3. Push the
switch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After
you release the switch, the display will
show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
.If the compass deviates from the correct indication soon after re-
peated adjustment, have the com-
pass checked at an INFINITI retailer.
.The compass may not indicate thecorrect compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct compass point when the vehicle
moves to an area where the geo-
magnetism is stabilized.)
CAUTION
.
Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the
operation of the compass.
. When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened with
glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner
directly on the mirror as it may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror hous-
ing.
