TRIP COMPUTER (if so equipped)
The display of the trip computer is situated
in the speedometer display. When the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON position, the
display scrolls all the modes of the trip
computer and then shows the mode cho-
sen before the ignition switch was placed
in the OFF position.When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, modes of the trip computer can
be selected by pressing the change/reset
button. The following modes can be selected:
Distance To Empty
(DTE—mile or km)
The DTE mode provides you with an esti-
mation of the distance that can be driven
before refueling. The DTE is constantly be-
ing calculated, based on the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank and the actual fuel con-
sumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The DTE mode includes a low range warn-
ing feature: when the fuel level is low, the
DTE mode is automatically selected and
the digits blink in order to draw the driver’s
attention. Press the change/reset button if
you wish to return to the mode that was
selected before the warning occurred. The
DTE mark will remain blinking until the ve-
hicle is refueled.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the
DTE display will change to (----).NOTE:
∙ If the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is off is small, the dis-
play just before the ignition switch is
turned off may continue to be dis-
played.
∙When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shif ts, which may
momentarily change the display.
Average fuel consumption
(Mpg or l/100km)
The average fuel consumption mode
shows the average fuel consumption since
the last reset. Resetting is done by pressing
the change/reset button for more than ap-
proximately 1 second. The display is up-
dated every 30 seconds. At about the first
1/3 miles (500 m) af ter a reset, the display
shows (----).
Average speed (mph or km/h)
The average speed mode shows the aver-
age vehicle speed since last reset. Reset-
ting is done by pressing the change/reset
button for more than approximately 1 sec-
ond. The display is updated every 30 sec-
onds. The first 30 seconds af ter a reset, the
display shows (----).

COMPASS AND OUTSIDE
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
(if so equipped)
2-10Instruments and controls

The light comes on when the hill descent
control system is activated.
If the hill descent control switch is on and
the indicator light blinks, the system is not
engaged.
If the indicator light does not come on
when the hill descent switch is on, the sys-
tem may not be functioning properly. Have
the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
For additional information, refer to “Hill de-
scent control switch” in this section and “Hill
descent control system” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.
Malfunction Indicator Light(MIL)
If this indicator light comes on steady or
blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The MIL may also come on steady if the
fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or if the
vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure
the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least
3 gal (11.4 L) of fuel in the fuel tank. Af ter a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emis-
sion control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady for
20 seconds and then blinks for 10 seconds
when the engine is not running, it indicates
that the vehicle is not ready for an emission
control system inspection/maintenance
test. For additional information, refer to
“Readiness for inspection/maintenance
(I/M) test” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.
Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
∙ MIL on steady — An emission control system malfunction has been de-
tected. Check the fuel-filler cap if the
LOOSE FUEL CAP warning appears in
the trip computer. If the fuel-filler cap is
loose or missing, tighten or install the
cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off af ter a
few driving trips. If the
light does
not turn off af ter a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer. ∙ MIL blinking — An engine misfire has
been detected which may damage the
emission control system. To reduce or
avoid emission control system dam-
age:
– do not drive at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h).
– avoid hard acceleration or decelera- tion.
– avoid steep uphill grades.
– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The MIL may stop blinking and come on
steady. Have the vehicle inspected. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
