When the outside air temperature becomes
378F(3 8C) or lower, the outside air temperature
display blinks to give a warning. The display will
stop blinking after 1 minute or when the outside
air temperature becomes 39 8F(4 8C) or above.
The display may differ from the actual outside
temperature displayed on various signs or bill-
boards.CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS-
MISSION (CVT) POSITION INDICATOR
(if so equipped)The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
position indicator indicates the selector lever
position when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

TRIP COMPUTERThe switch for the trip computer is located on
the meter panel.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, modes of the trip computer can be
selected by pushing the trip computer mode
switch
*A
.
Each time the trip computer mode switch
*A
is
pushed, the display will change as follows:
(TRIP A ?TRIP B) ?Current fuel consumption
? Distance to empty (dte) ?Average fuel
consumption ?Average speed ?Elapsed time
(Canada only) ?Maintenance information
(Canada only) ( ?TRIP A)
Current fuel consumptionThe current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.Distance to empty (dte — mls or km)The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. When the fuel level is low, the dte mode
is automatically selected and the dte display will
blink. Push the trip computer mode switch
*A
to return to the mode that was selected before
the warning occurred.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “----”.
. If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
turned off may continue to be displayed.
. When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momenta-
rily change the display.

Average fuel consumption (mpg or l
(liter)/100 km)The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the trip computer
mode switch
*A
for approximately 1 second.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “---”.
Average speed (mph or km/h)The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting is
done by pushing the trip computer mode switch*A
for approximately 1 second.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. The
first 30 seconds after a reset, the display shows
“---”.
Elapsed time (Canada only)The elapsed time mode shows the time since
the last reset. The displayed time can be reset
by pushing the trip computer mode switch
*A
for approximately 1 second.Resetting displaysWhen the average fuel consumption, average
speed, elapsed time or TRIP B is displayed,
push the trip computer mode switch
*A
for
longer than 3 seconds. The average fuel consumption, average speed, elapsed time and
trip odometer (TRIP B only) displays will be reset
at the same time.
Maintenance information (Canada only)When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, maintenance information (the wrench
symbol
and distance to change a main-
tenance item) comes on for about 5 seconds
and then turns off.
The wrench symbol
appears when the set
distance comes for changing an item, such as
engine oil.
To set the distance to change an item:
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
Push the trip computer mode switch
*A
for
3 seconds while the wrench symbol
and maintenance information are displayed.
The symbol and distance display will start
flashing and the display shows the current
interval.
2. Push the switch
*A
to increase the interval
distance.
Each step increases the interval distance by
1,000 km (500 miles) . The interval distance
can be set up to 30,000 km (18,000 miles)
after the display returns to 0 (zero) .
3. If no further action is made, the display returns to the previous mode and the new
interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display will
skip the maintenance information when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON position.

pumps to be identified by a small, square,
orange and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for
that region.Aftermarket fuel additivesNISSAN does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel
injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve
deposit removers, etc.) which are sold commer-
cially. Many of these additives intended for gum,
varnish or deposit removal may contain active
solvent or similar ingredients that can be harmful
to the fuel system and engine.Octane rating tipsUsing unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended can cause
persistent, heavy “spark knock”. (Spark
knock is a metallic rapping noise.) If
severe, this can lead to engine damage. If
you detect a persistent heavy spark knock
even when using gasoline of the stated
octane rating, or if you hear steady spark
knock while holding a steady speed on
level roads, have a NISSAN dealer correct
the condition. Failure to correct the condi-
tion is misuse of the vehicle, for which
NISSAN is not responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in spark
knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may
cause excessive fuel consumption or enginedamage. If any of the above symptoms are
encountered, have your vehicle checked at a
NISSAN dealer.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.
CAUTION
.
Your vehicle is not designed to run
on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel in a
vehicle not specifically designed for
E-85 fuel can damage fuel system
components and is not covered by
the NISSAN new vehicle limited
warranty.
. E-85 is a mixture of approximately
85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded
gasoline.
. U.S. government regulations require
ethanol dispensing pumps to be
identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate per-
centage for that region.
