For an overview see “Instrument and control
layout” in the “0. Illustrated table of contents”
section and see “Meters and gauges” in the “0. Il-
lustrated table of contents” section.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed (km/h
or MPH). Scale resolution on the meter varies with
models.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge is active when the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turn-
ing, acceleration, or when going up– or downhill.
The
csymbol indicates that the fuel filler lid is
located on the right side of the vehicle.
NOTE
A low fuel warning comes on in the vehicle infor- mation display and the Low fuel indicator light
comes on in the combination meter when the
fuel level is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient. There should be a small reserve of
fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle
reaches the empty level.
CAUTION
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers
empty.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (r/min).
Do not rev the engine
into the red zone
j1.
Scale resolution on the meter varies with models.
CAUTION
When the 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
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature should remain
within the normal range
j2.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the out-
side air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge exceeds the normal range, stop as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the vehicle may
seriously damage the engine see “Engine
overheat” in the “6. In case of emergency” sec-
tion for immediate action.
WARNING
Allow the engine to cool down before removing
the radiator cap to avoid the danger of being
scalded.NIC1561

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult a
NISSAN dealer or the tyre manufacturer.
TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tyre should be replaced.
The original tyres have a built-in tread wear indica-
tor
j1 . When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre
should be replaced.
The wear indicator locations are indicated by the
location marks
j2.
TYRE AGE
Remember tyre age. Never use a tyre over six years
old, regardless of whether they have been used or
not. Tyres degrade with age as well as the use they are
subjected to. Have the tyres checked and balanced
frequently by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. Report all accidents where the tyre is knocked
even if it is minor.
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS
WARNING
Do not install a deformed wheel or tyre even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing a tyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. Recommended types and sizes are men-
tioned in “Wheels and Tyres” in the “9. Technical
information” section.
The use of tyres other than those recommended or
the mixed use of tyres of different brands, construc-
tion (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns
can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling,
ground clearance, body-to-tyre clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height.
WARNING
Some of these effects may lead to accidents and
could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling
characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs. Such interference can lead to decreased
braking efficiency and/or early brake pad wear.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) MODELS
CAUTION
Always use tyres of the same size, brand, con-
struction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and
tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do
so may result in a circumference difference
between tyres on the front and rear axles
which will cause excessive tyre wear and may
damage the transmission, transfer case and
differential gears.
ONLY use spare tyres specified for the four
wheel drive (4WD) models.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be performed with
the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the front
wheels on the vehicle could lead to transmission
damage.
SPARE TYRE
The temporary-use spare wheel/tyre can be identi-
fied by the temporary-use spare tyre label which
contrasts to the standard road wheels. If in doubt,
