Automatic Transmission fluid temperature
gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of the au-
tomatic transmission fluid.
CAUTION
●
This gauge is not designed to indicate
low automatic transmission fluid level.
Use the dipstick to check the fluid level.
For additional information, refer to “6-
speed automatic transmission fluid” in
the “Do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
● If the gauge indicates automatic trans-
mission fluid temperature over the nor-
mal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. It is recommended that
you have the vehicle checked by a
NISSAN dealer. Continued operation of
the vehicle may seriously damage the
transmission.
Turbo meter (if so equipped)
For additional information, refer to the “Titan Die-
sel Owner’s Manual”.
Engine oil pressure gauge
The gauge indicates the engine lubrication sys-
tem oil pressure while the engine is running. The
bar should be in the middle of the gauge when
the engine is running.

CAUTION
●This gauge is not designed to indicate
low engine oil level. Use the dipstick to
check the oil level. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Engine oil” in the “Do-
it-yourself” section of this manual.
● If the gauge needle does not move with
the proper amount of engine oil, it is
recommended that you have the vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer. Continued
vehicle operation in such a condition
could cause serious damage to the
engine.
Engine oil temperature gauge
This gauge measures the temperature of the en-
gine oil.
Voltmeter
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the voltmeter indicates the battery volt-
age. When the engine is running, it indicates the
generator voltage. While cranking the engine, the volts drop below
the normal range. If the range is not within the
normal range (11 – 15 volts) while the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging system
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF)
LEVEL (if so equipped)
This gauge measures the DEF level remaining in
the vehicle. For additional information, refer to
“Fuel and refueling” in the “Titan Diesel Owner’s
Supplement”.

WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. For additional
information, refer to “Changing wheels
and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of
this manual. Many factors including tire
inflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indica-
tor as a guide only and always perform
regular tire checks. Failure to perform
regular tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may lead
to a collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
Other
The other menu item allows the user to set a
maintenance reminder at a specific interval to
check various other maintenance items (ie. air
filter, brakes, coolant) . To set the reminder, press

WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATOR
LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Instruments and controls2-19

Driver’s seat belt warning lightand chime
The light and chime remind you to fasten your
seat belt. The light illuminates whenever the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON or START position
and remains illuminated until the driver’s seat belt
is fastened. At the same time, the chime sounds
for about 6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt
is securely fastened.
For additional information, refer to “Seat belts” in
the “Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section for precautions on seat
belt usage.
Engine oil pressure warninglight
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the
light flickers or comes on during normal driving,
pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine
immediately, and call a NISSAN dealer or other
authorized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate a low oil level. Use the
dipstick to check the oil level. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Engine oil” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the engine oil
pressure warning light on could cause se-
rious damage to the engine almost imme-
diately. Such damage is not covered by
warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it
is safe to do so.
Low DEF warning light (if so
equipped)
For additional information, refer to the “Titan Die-
sel Owner’s Manual”.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is conve-
nient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches 0
(Empty) . There will be a small reserve of fuel
in the tank when the fuel gauge reaches 0
(Empty) .
Low tire pressure warning light
Your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS that moni-
tors the tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
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.
A “Tire Press 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 of all four tires to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label located
in the driver’s door opening. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is ad-
justed. After the tire is inflated to the rec-
ommended 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 Press Low - Add Air” warning appears
each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tire pressure warning
light remains illuminated.

mation display” in the “Instruments and controls”
