Distance to empty (dte — km or
mile)/Odometer
Distance to empty (dte — km or mile):
The distance to empty (dte)
provides
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 momentarily 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 dis-
played in the vehicle information display
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The odometer
displays the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.

Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system warning light (if so
equipped)
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the AEB system warning light
illuminates. After starting the engine, the
warning light turns off.
This light illuminates when the AEB sys-
tem is set to OFF on the vehicle informa-
tion display.
If the light illuminates when the AEB
system is ON, it may indicate that the
system is unavailable. See “Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB)” (P.5-82) or
“Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with
pedestrian detection system” (P.5-89).

Low tire pressure warning
light
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
monitors the tire pressure of all tires
except the spare tire.
The low tire pressure warning light warns
of low tire pressure or indicates that the
TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, this light illuminates for
about 1 second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
also appears in the vehicle information
display.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automa-
tically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must
be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25
km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
is active as long as the low tire pressure
warning light remains illuminated.
For additional information, see “Vehicle
information display” (P.2-18), “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P.6-3).
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly,
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute when the
ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion. The light will remain on after the 1
minute. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. The “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning does not appear if the
low tire pressure warning light illuminates
to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
For additional information, see “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.5-5).
WARNING
.
If the light does not illuminate
with the ignition switch placed in
the ON position, have the vehicle checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service as soon as possible.
. If the light illuminates while driv-
ing, avoid sudden steering man-
euvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driv-
ing with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in ser-
ious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat or
the TPMS may be malfunctioning.
If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire as soon as
possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
