SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in
miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour
(km/h) .
Odometer/Twin trip odometer
The odometer/twin trip odometer is displayed
when the ignition key is in the ON position.
The odometer records the total distance the ve-
hicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the distance of
individual trips.
Changing the display:
Pushing the change button changes the display
as follows:

TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (r/min) . Do not rev engine into
the red zone
s1.
CAUTION
When 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 is within the
normal range
s1when the gauge needle points
within the zone shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible. If the
engine is overheated, continued opera-
tion of the vehicle may seriously damage
the engine. See “If your vehicle over-
heats” in the “In case of emergency” sec-
tion for immediate action required.

FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates theapproximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after the
ignition key is turned to OFF.
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 E (Empty) .The
indicates that the fuel filler lid is
located on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
cIf the vehicle runs out of fuel,
the
malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) may come on. Refuel as soon as
possible. After a few driving trips,
the
lamp should turn off. If the
lamp remains on after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer.
cFor additional information, see “Mal-
function indicator lamp (MIL)” later in
this section.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine lubrication sys-
tem oil pressure while the engine is running.
When the engine speed is high, the engine oil
pressure is also high. When it is low, the gauge
indicates the low oil pressure.
CAUTION
cThis gauge is not designed to indicate
low engine oil level. Use the dipstick to
check the oil level. (See “Engine oil” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.)

cIf the gauge needle does not move with
the proper amount of engine oil, have
the vehicle checked by a NISSAN
dealer. Continued vehicle operation in
such a condition could cause serious
damage to the engine.
VOLTMETER
When the ignition key is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the voltmeter indicates the battery voltage.
When the engine is running, it indicates the gen-
erator voltage.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop below
the normal range. If the needle is not in the normal
range (11 - 15 volts)
s1while the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging system
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
TEMPERATURE GAUGE (if so
equipped)
This gauge indicates the temperature of the au-
tomatic transmission fluid. The automatic trans-
mission fluid temperature is in the normal range
s1when the gauge needle points within the zone
shown in the illustration.

CAUTION
cThis gauge is not designed to indicate
low automatic transmission fluid level.
Use the dipstick to check the fluid level.
(See “5-speed automatic transmission
fluid” in the “Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section.)
cIf the gauge indicates automatic trans-
mission fluid temperature over the nor-
mal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. Have the vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer. Contin-
ued operation of the vehicle may seri-
ously damage the transmission.This unit has the following functions:
cMeasures terrestrial magnetism and indi-
cates heading direction of vehicle
cIndicates outside air temperature
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Push thebutton when the ignition key is in
the ACC or ON position. The outside tempera-
ture will be displayed
s1.
cTo change from °F to °C, push and hold
the
button for about 3 seconds until
the display begins to flash. Press the button
again to toggle between °F and °C. Once
you have selected °F or °C, the display will
continue to flash for about 5 seconds, then
the temperature will display.

cWhen the outside temperature is between
140°F (60°C) and 194°F (90°C) , the display
will read 140°F (60°C) . When the tempera-
ture is above 194°F (90°C) , the display will
read “SC”.
cWhen the outside temperature is between
than -40°F (-40°C) and -60°F (-51°C) , the
display will read -40°F (-40°C) . When the
temperature is below -60°F (-51°C) , the dis-
play will read “OC”.
cThe outside temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be
affected by road or engine heat, wind direc-
tion and other driving conditions. The display
may differ from the actual outside tempera-
ture or the temperature displayed on various
signs or billboards.
cTemperature display will not update unless
the vehicle is moving faster than 12 MPH
(20 km/h) , or the ignition switch has been
OFF for 4 hours.COMPASS DISPLAY
Push thebutton when the ignition key is in
the ACC or ON position to display the direction
s1.
N: north
E: east
S: south
W: west
If the display reads “CAL”, 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 8
seconds. The current zone number will ap-
pear in the display.
2. Find your current location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration. Record the zone
number.
3. Press and hold the
button until the
new zone number appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the switch in, the
display will show a compass direction within
a few seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction:
1. With the display turned on, push the
button about 8 seconds, until the zone se-
lection comes up (a number will be dis-
played in the mirror compass window) .
2. Toggle until correct zone is found and re-
lease button.

3. The display will return to the normal com-
pass mode within 5 seconds of no button
activity.
4. If the vehicle changes zone, repeat steps 1
through 3. See map.
cIf the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an authorized
dealer.
cThe compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up
or down a steep hill. (The compass returns
to the correct compass point when the ve-
hicle moves to an area where the geomag-
netism is stabilized.)
CAUTION
cDo 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.
cWhen 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.
