Automatic Transmission fluid tempera-
ture gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of
the automatic 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 trans-
mission fluid” in the “Do-it-yourself ”
section of this manual.
∙ If the gauge indicates automatic transmission fluid temperature over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. It is recom-
mended that you have the vehicle
checked by a NISSAN dealer. Contin-
ued operation of the vehicle may seri-
ously damage the transmission.

CAUTION
∙ This gauge is not designed to indicatelow engine 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

Continued vehicle operation in such a
condition could cause serious dam-
age to the engine.
Engine oil temperature gauge
This gauge measures the temperature of
the engine oil.
Voltmeter
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the voltmeter indicates the bat-
tery voltage. 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 re-
maining in the vehicle. For additional infor-
mation, 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, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Changing
wheels and tires” in the “Do-it-yourself ”
section of this manual. Many factors in-
cluding tire inflation, alignment, driving
habits and road conditions affect tire
wear and when tires should be re-
placed. Setting the tire replacement in-
dicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tires will last that
long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform
regular tire checks. Failure to perform
regular tire checks, including tire pres-
sure 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.
