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

METERS AND GAUGES
2-2Instruments and controls

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the ESP OFF indicator light and SLIP indica-
tor light come on with the ESP system turned on, it
alerts the driver to the fact that the system’s fail-safe
mode is operating. This means that the system may
not be functioning properly. Have the system
checked by your NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
If an abnormality occurs in the system, the ESP sys-
tem function will be cancelled, but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
4WD mode indicator light
(AUTO) (4WD models)
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned
to the ON position. If the engine is running, this light
will illuminate when the 4WD AUTO mode is se-
lected.
See “Four-wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
4WD mode indicator light
(LOCK) (4WD models)
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned
to the ON position.
If the engine is running, this light and the 4WD mode
indicator light (AUTO) will be lit when the 4WD
LOCK mode is selected.
See “Four-wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
Glow plug indicator light (Diesel
engines)
This light comes on when the ignition switch is in the
ON position and goes out when the glow plugs have
been pre-heated. When the engine is cold, the glow
plug warm-up time will be longer.
Low fuel indicator light
When the fuel level is getting low, the low fuel warn-
ing light will switch on to alert the driver. Refuel as
soon as it is convenient. There should be a small
reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge
reaches the empty level. See also “Vehicle informa-
tion display” later in this section.
Malfunction Indicator light
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the orange Malfunction Indicator light illumi-
nates. This means that the system is operational.
If the orange Malfunction Indicator light comes on
steady or blinks (where fitted) while the engine is
running, it may indicate an engine control system
malfunction.
See “Malfunction warning light (red) (where fitted)”
earlier in this section for details of the red malfunc-
tion warning light (where fitted).On steady (orange):
An engine malfunction has been detected. Have the
vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
Blinking (orange) (where fitted):
An engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the engine control system.
To reduce or avoid engine control system dam-
age:
Do not drive at speeds above 70 km/h (43
MPH).
Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
Avoid steep uphill grades.
If possible, reduce the load being carried or
towed.
The Malfunction Indicator light may stop blinking
and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.

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

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
