Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine However reset is possible (only after the oil was
changed) using the [Service] menu item in the
[Settings] menu. See “[Maintenance]” later in this
section
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop if these conditions occur.
j20Distance to maintenance alert
(where fitted)
This alert reminds when maintenance is due in the
shown distance. The alert is shown for 10 seconds
at ignition ON, when the distance to the next main-
tenance interval is below 5000 km (3100 Miles).
The message is shown until the steering wheel
switch
ji (where fitted) is pressed.
NOTE
Visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop
before the maintenance due alertj19reaches
0 km (miles) to perform maintenance (oil
change).
The maintenance interval will reduce faster
with certain types of driving, especially at low
speeds in urban conditions.
j21Tyre change alert
You can set a distance for changing tyres. See
“[Maintenance]” later in this section
j22Maintenance alert
You can set a distance for a non specific mainte-
nance item. See “[Maintenance]” later in this sec-
tion
j23Low temperature warning
If, during driving, the temperature falls below 4ºC
this alert will appear to indicate low outside air tem-
perature. You can switch the low temperature warn-
ing [On] or [Off]. See “[Units]” later in this section
CAUTION
Even if the alert is not on, there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards caused by in-
clement weather.
NOTE
The outside air temperature sensor is located at
the front of the vehicle. At low speeds the sensor
can be affected by engine heat, heat reflected
from the road surface and exhaust from other
vehicles, these influences can cause the display
to be inaccurate. To compensate, the outside air
temperature display is designed to react slowly
to increasing temperatures, but quickly to falling
temperatures.
j24Low fuel warning
This warning appears when the fuel level in the tank
is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the fuel gauge reaches the empty
position. For more information, see “Fuel gauge”
earlier in this section.
j25Driver alert
This warning appears when the previously set time
for a break is reached. You can set the time for up
to 6 hours in the setting menu. (See “Settings menu”
later in this section.)

The trip computer is controlled using theswitch
or the steering wheel switchji (where fitted).
The trip computer contains the following items:
[Fuel Economy] →[Average speed] →[Driving dis-
tance] →[Elapsed time] →[Range] (km or MILES)
→ [Settings][→ CO2 Saved] (where fitted) →[Fuel

The [Range] mode provides you with an estimation
of the distance that can be driven before refuelling
(distance to empty). The range is constantly being
calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank and the actual fuel consumption.
When the fuel level gets close to empty, the range
will change to “----”.
If the amount of fuel added is small, the display
just before the ignition switch is turned to the
“OFF” position may continue to be displayed.
When driving uphill or corners, the fuel in the
tank shifts, this may momentarily change the dis-
play.
