The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in
miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour
(km/h) .

Distance to empty (dte — km or mile)/
Odometer
Distance to empty (dte — km or mile):
The distance to empty (dte)
*1provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “———”..If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
placed in the “OFF” position may continue
to be displayed.
.When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momenta-
rily change the display.
Odometer/Twin trip odometer:
After the ignition switch is placed in the OFF or
LOCK position from ON position, the distance
to empty and odometer/twin trip odometer stays
on for 30 seconds. With the ignition switch in
OFF position, when you open any door then
close all doors, the odometer/twin trip odometer
stays on for 30 seconds.
The odometer/twin trip odometer is displayed in
the vehicle information display when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The odometer*2displays the total distance the
vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer
*2displays the distance
of individual trips.
Changing display:
Push the TRIP RESET switch
*3(located on
the instrument panel) to change the display as
follows:
ODO?TRIP A?TRIP B?ODO

— Reset the elapsed time and trip od-
ometer.
.All
— Reset all items of “Average Speed”,
“Elapsed time and trip odometer” and
“Fuel economy.”
Once the “Elapsed time and trip odometer 1” is
displayed, you can use
*2buttons to
switch between the “Elapsed time and trip
odometer 1” and “Elapsed time and trip
odometer 2.”
4-5. Fuel economy 1 and 2 (MPG, l
(litre)/100 km or km/l(litre))
Current fuel consumption:
The current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.
Average fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption 1 mode shows
the average fuel consumption since the last
reset. The average fuel consumption 2 mode
shows the average fuel consumption since the
time the ignition switch was placed in the ON
position. The average fuel consumption 2 is
automatically reset each time the ignition is
placed in the OFF position.
Resetting is done by pushing the OK
*1button.
When the OK
*1button is pushed, the
following menu items are displayed..Cancel
— Return to the previous screen without
resetting.
.Fuel Economy
— Reset the fuel economy.
.All
— Reset all items of “Average Speed”,
“Elapsed time and trip odometer” and
“Fuel economy”.
Once the “Fuel economy 1” is displayed, you
can use
*2buttons to switch between the
“Fuel economy 1” and “Fuel economy 2”.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. For
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “——”.
6. Audio
The audio mode shows the status of audio
information.
7. Navigation (if so equipped)
When the route guidance is set in the navigation
system, this item shows the navigation route
information.
8. Compass (if so equipped)
This display indicates the heading direction of
the vehicle.
9. “4x4-i” display (if so equipped)
When the “4x4-i” display is selected, you can
view the distribution ratio of the transmission
torque to the front and rear wheels during
driving.
10. Chassis control
When Active Trace Control, Active Engine Brake
(Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
models) or Active Ride Control system is
operated, it shows the operating condition. It
also shows operating condition of Hill Start
Assist. See “Active Trace Control” (P.5-106) ,
“Active Engine Brake (Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) models)” (P.5-107) , “Active
Ride Control” (P.5-108) or “Hill Start Assist
system” (P.5-109)for more details.
11. Tire Pressures
The tire pressure mode shows the pressure of all
four tires while the vehicle is driven.
When the Tire Pressure Low — Add Air warning
appears, the display can be switched to the tire
pressure mode by pushing the OK
*1button to
reveal additional details on the displayed warn-
ing.

10-4Technical and consumer information
.E-15 fuel contains more than 10%
oxygenate. E-15 fuel will adversely
affect the emission control devices
and systems of the vehicle and should
not be used. Damage caused by such
fuel is not covered by the NISSAN new
vehicle limited warranty.
.If a methanol blend is used, it should
contain no more than 5% methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol) . It
should also contain a suitable amount
of appropriate cosolvents and corro-
sion inhibitors. If not properly formu-
lated with appropriate cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors, such methanol
blends may cause fuel system damage
and/or vehicle performance problems.
At this time, sufficient data is not
available to ensure that all methanol
blends are suitable for use in NISSAN
vehicles.
If any driveability problems such as engine
stalling and difficult hot-starting are experienced
after using oxygenate-blend fuels, immediately
change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a
low blend of MTBE.
Take care not to spill gasoline during
refueling. Gasoline containing oxygenates
can cause paint damage.E-15 fuel
E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15% fuel
ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline. E-15 can
only be used in vehicles designed to run on E-
15 fuel. Do not use E-15 in your vehicle. U.S.
government regulations require fuel ethanol
dispensing pumps to be identified with small,
square, orange and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for
that region.
E-85 fuel
E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel
ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can
only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) . Do
not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. U.S. govern-
ment regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing
pumps to be identified by a small, square,
orange and black label with the common
abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for
that region.
Fuel containing MMT
MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl, is an octane boosting additive.
NISSAN does not recommend the use of fuel
containing MMT. Such fuel may adversely affect
vehicle performance, including the emissions
control system. Note that while some fuel pumps
label MMT content, not all do, so you may haveto consult your gasoline retailer for more details.
Aftermarket fuel additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel
injector cleaner, octane booster, intake valve
deposit removers, etc.) which are sold commer-
cially. Many of these additives intended for gum,
varnish or deposit removal may contain active
solvent or similar ingredients that can be harmful
to the fuel system and engine.
Octane rating tips
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended can cause
persistent, heavy “spark knock”. (Spark
knock is a metallic rapping noise.) If
severe, this can lead to engine damage. If
you detect a persistent heavy spark knock
even when using gasoline of the stated
octane rating, or if you hear steady spark
knock while holding a steady speed on
level roads, it is recommended you have a
NISSAN dealer correct the condition. Fail-
ure to correct the condition is misuse of
the vehicle, for which NISSAN is not
responsible.
Incorrect ignition timing will result in spark
knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may
cause excessive fuel consumption or engine
