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.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF posi-
tion.
The low fuel warning comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low. Refill the fuel tank once the Low Fuel warn-
ing indicator in the vehicle information dis-
play illuminates as indicated by
Low
Fuel.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler door
is located on the driver’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 in-
spected. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ For additional information, refer to “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” in
this section.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the vehicle
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 consumption. Changes in driving patterns or conditions can
cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the
value displayed may differ from the actual
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 after 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 dis-
play 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, seasonal weather,
added vehicle weight, added deflectors,
roof racks, etc.).

VARIABLE COMPRESSION
TURBO
Your engine is equipped with a variable com-
pression ratio system called “Variable Com-
pression Turbo”. This system can vary the
engine compression ratio continuously.
According to driving conditions, the system
applies optimum compression ratio auto-
matically to achieve both high output and
high fuel economy efficiency.This is not a physical gauge. It is a display
option in the vehicle information display that
can be selected. For additional information,
refer to “Vehicle information display” in this
section.
1Compression ratio status display
Displays the status of compression ratio
controlled by Variable Compression
Turbo. The lowest compression ratio
(8:1) and the highest (14:1) are displayed
as “Power” and ”Eco” respectively.
2Turbo charger boost pressure gauge
Displays the turbo charger boost pres-
sure.
NOTE:
Under some conditions, the compression ra-
tio may not change. This is not a malfunction
of the system.
CAUTION
If the Variable Compression Turbo becomes
faulty, the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) may come on. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” in this section.
