SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
SpeedometerThe speedometer indicates vehicle speed in
miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour
(km/h) .Odometer/twin trip odometerThe odometer
*1
and twin trip odometer
*2
are displayed 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 distance of
individual trips.Changing the display:
Pushing the TRIP A/B RESET knob
*3
changes the display as follows:
TRIP A
?TRIP B ?TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer:
Pushing the TRIP A/B RESET knob
*3
for more
than 1 second resets the trip odometer to zero.
SIC3974
TACHOMETERThe 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
GAUGEThe gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge points within the
zone
*1
shown 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 OVER-
HEATS” in the “6. In case of emergency”
section for immediate action required.
SIC3976
FUEL GAUGEThe gauge indicates the approximatefuel 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, 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
a NISSAN dealer.
. For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
later in this section.

Triple meter
1. Engine oil temperature gauge
2. Voltmeter
3. ClockTRIPLE METER
Engine oil temperature gaugeIf the engine oil temperature gauge
*1
indicates more than 280 8F (140 8C) while
driving, reduce the engine speed (RPM)
and drive at a slow speed.
When the engine oil temperature is high,
the engine protection mode, which helps
reduce the chance of engine damage,
could activate and automatically decrease
engine power. Driving while the engine oil temperature is high may result in engine
damage.
VoltmeterWhen the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, the volt meter
*2
indicates the battery
voltage. When the engine is running, it indicates
the generator voltage.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop below
the normal range. If the needle is not in the
normal range (11 to 15 volts) while the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging system
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
ClockIf necessary, adjust the clock
*3
on the setting
screen of the vehicle information display. (See
“CLOCK” later in this section.)
If the power supply is disconnected, the clock
will not indicate the correct time. Readjust the
time.
