Check tire pressure warning message
(if so equipped)
The CHECK TIRE PRES warning message is
displayed when the low tire pressure warning
light is illuminated and low tire pressure is de-
tected. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. The CHECK
TIRE PRES warning message turns off when the
low tire pressure warning light turns off.
The low tire pressure warning light remains illu-
minated until the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure. The CHECK TIRE
PRES warning message is displayed each timethe ignition switch is placed in the ON position as
long as the low tire pressure warning light re-
mains illuminated. For more information see “Low
tire pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” and
“Wheels and tires” section in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of this Owner’s
Manual.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm) . Do not rev engine into
the red zone
1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, reduce engine speed. Operating the
engine in the red zone may cause serious
engine damage.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be placed in the
ON position for the gauge to give a reading.
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the reading is within the zone
Ashown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates a coolant tempera-
ture near the hot (H) end of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
the temperature. If the gauge is over the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the ve-
hicle may seriously damage the engine.
See “If your vehicle overheats” in the “In
case of emergency” section for immediate
action required
FUEL GAUGE
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be placed in the
ON position for the gauge to give a reading.
The gauge indicates the approximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The low fuel warning light comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters 0 (Empty) .

located on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
● If the vehicle runs out of fuel, theMalfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may
come on. Refuel as soon as possible.
After a few driving trips. the
light
should turn off. If the light remains on
after a few driving trips, have the ve-
hicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer.
● For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” later in
this section.
TRIP COMPUTER
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the modes of the trip computer can be
selected by pressing the
button on the
steering wheel. The following modes can be se-
lected:
● Trip A
● Trip B
● Eco pedal guide
● Instant fuel economy
● Average fuel consumption ●
Average speed
● Distance to empty
● Trip computer reset
Trip A
Measures the distance of one specific trip.
Trip B
Measures the distance of a second specific trip.
ECO pedal guide
Use the Eco pedal guide1for improving fuel
economy.
When the Eco pedal guide bar is in the green
range, it indicates that the vehicle is driven within
range of economy drive.
If the Eco pedal guide bar is out of green range, it
indicates that the accelerator pedal is depressed
over the range of economy drive.

NOTE:
The Eco pedal guide bar is not displayed
when the cruse control is in operation.
Instant fuel economy
The instant fuel economy mode shows the instant
fuel consumption. The display updates instantly
when driving.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pressing the
button
on the steering wheel for more than approxi-
mately 1 second. The display is updated every
30 seconds. At about the first 1/3 mile (500 m)
after a reset, the display shows (----) .
Average speed
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since last reset. Resetting is done
by pressing the
button on the steering
wheel for more than approximately 1 second. The
display is updated every 30 seconds. The first
30 seconds after a reset, the display shows
(----) .
Distance to empty
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly be-
ing calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
NOTE:
When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momen-
tarily change the display.
Trip computer reset
Pressing thebutton on the steering wheel
for more than 3 seconds will reset Trip A, Trip B,
Average fuel consumption or Average speed.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
(if so equipped)
The outside temperature function provides a dis-
play of the outside temperature when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position.
The display of positive temperatures is unsigned
(blank) , negative temperatures are prefixed with a
minus sign. This unit measures terrestrial magnetism and in-
dicates heading direction of vehicle.
With the ignition switch in the ON position, press
the
button as described in the chart below
to activate various features of the automatic anti-
glare rearview mirror.
Press and hold

COMPASS DISPLAY (if so equipped)
2-8Instruments and controls

COMPASS DISPLAY
Push thebutton for about 1 second when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position to
toggle the compass direction display
1on or
off. The display will indicate the direction that the
vehicle is heading.
N: North
E: East
S: South
W: West
If the display reads “C”, calibrate the compass by
driving the vehicle in three complete circles at
less than 5 MPH (8 km/h). You can also calibrate the compass by driving
your vehicle on your everyday route. The com-
pass will be calibrated once it has tracked three
complete circles.

Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north and geo-
graphical north is known as variance. In some
areas, this difference can sometimes be great
enough to cause false compass readings. Follow
these instructions to set the variance for your
particular location if this happens:1. Press and hold the
button for about
11 seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display. Release the button.
2. Find your current location on the zone map. Refer to the illustration.
3. Press the
button repeatedly to toggle
through the zone numbers until the desired
number appears in the display. Once you
have selected a zone number, the display
will show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction:
The compass display is equipped with automatic
correction function. If the correct direction is not
shown, follow this procedure. 1. With the display turned on, press and hold the
button for about 13 seconds. The
“C” icon in the compass display will illumi-
nate.

2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehiclein three complete circles at a maximum
speed of 5 MPH (8 km/h).
3. After completing the circles, the display should return to normal.
CAUTION
●Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the op-
eration of the compass.
● When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it may
cause the liquid cleaner to enter the
mirror housing.
