SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
SpeedometerThe speedometer indicates vehicle speed.Odometer/twin trip odometerThe odometer/twin trip odometer are displayed
when the ignition key 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:
Push the reset knob to change the display as
follows:
ODO,TRIP A,TRIP B,ODO
Resetting the trip odometer:
Push the reset knob for more than 1 second to
reset the trip odometer to zero.
TACHOMETERThe tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (r/min).When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear. 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 will vary with
the outside air temperature and driving condi-
tions.If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature over the normal range, stop
the vehicle as soon as safely possible. If

the engine is overheated, continued op-
eration of the vehicle may seriously
damage the engine. See ªIf your vehicle
overheatsº in the ª6. In case of emer-
gencyº section for immediate action
required.
FUEL GAUGEThe gauge indicates the APPROXIMATE fuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hill.
The gauge needle is designed to remain in
approximately the same position, even when
the ignition key is turned OFF.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters Empty.
The indicator light comes on when the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it isconvenient, preferably before the gauge
reaches E. There will be a small reserve of
fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle
reaches E.
If the vehicle is driven with the fuel level
very low, the malfunction indicator light
may come on. Refuel as soon as pos-
sible. After re-fueling, the light should
go off. If the light remains on, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see the ªMal-
function indicator light (MIL)º later in
this section.

This unit is a display unit with the following
functions:
IFunction to measure terrestrial magnetism
and indicate heading direction of vehicle
IFunction to indicate outside air temperature
IFunction to indicate caution for frozen road
surfaces
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE
DISPLAYPush the switch when the ignition key is in the
ACC or ON position. The outside temperature
will be displayed in ÉF.
ISelecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ÉF to ÉC.
IIf the outside temperature drops below the
freezing point, the display indicates ICE.IWhen the outside temperature is be-
tween 130ÉF (55ÉC) and 158ÉF (70ÉC), the
display shows 130ÉF (55ÉC).
IWhen the outside temperature is lower
than þ20ÉF (þ30ÉC) or higher than 158ÉF
(70ÉC), the display shows only
---
though it is operating. This is not a
problem.
IThe outside temperature sensor is
installed in the front of the radiator.
The display may not indicate the pre-
cise temperature due to the heat of
the road and engine depending on
the direction of the wind and driving
conditions, etc.
IUse the ICE indication for reference
only. Confirm the traffic information
and road conditions to drive safely.

COMPASS DISPLAYPush the switch when the ignition key is in the
ACC or ON position. The direction will be
displayed.Zone variation change procedureThe difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass read-
ings. Follow these instructions to set the vari-
ance for your particular location if this hap-
pens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Record your zone number.
2. Push the ON/OFF switch in for five seconds
until the current zone entry number is dis-
played.
3. Press the ON/OFF switch repeatedly until
the new zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed,
stop pressing the ON/OFF switch and the
display will show compass direction within a
few seconds.
