ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE

GAUGE

.

If the gauge is over the normal range,

stop the vehicle as soon as safely possi-

ble.

If the engine is overheated, continued

operation of the vehicle may seriously

damage the engine. (See “If your vehicle

overheats” (P.6-10) for immediate action

required.)

the outside air temperature and driving condi-

tions.

VOLTMETER

The gauge may move slightly during braking,

turning, accelerating, or going up and down

hills due to movement of fuel in the tank.

The low fuel warning

appears (on the

vehicle information display (model with color

display or dot matrix display)) or the low fuel

warning light illuminates (in the meter) (if

equipped) when the fuel level in the tank is

getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,

preferably before the gauge reads 0.

The gauge indicates the engine lubrication

system 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 (L) oil pressure.

Refuel before the gauge reads 0 (empty).

There is a small reserve of fuel in the tank when

the fuel gauge reads 0 (empty).

shown in the

ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE

CAUTION:

.

This gauge is not designed to indicate

low engine oil level. Use the dipstick to

check the oil level. (See “Engine oil” (P.8-

9).)

WAC0199X

Type B

When the ignition switch is pushed to the “ON”

position, the volt meter indicates the battery

voltage. When the engine is running, it indicates

the generator voltage.

While cranking the engine, the volts drop below

the normal range . If the gauge is not in the

normal range (10.5 to 15.5 volts) while the

engine is running, it may indicate that the

charging system is not functioning properly.

Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

If the gauge 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.

METER ILLUMINATION AND NEEDLE

SWEEP (if equipped)

The illumination of meters and gauges illumi-

nates when the driver’s door is closed after

getting into the vehicle with the Intelligent Key

carried in.

When the engine is started, the indicator

needles will sweep in the speedometer and

tachometer, and the illumination will be brigh-

tened gradually.

For model with color display or dot matrix

display, see “Outside air temperature (°C or

°F )” (P.2-34) or “5. Outside air temperature

(ICY — °C or °F)” (P.2-42).

Automatic Transmission (AT) position indicator

The Automatic Transmission (AT) position in-

dicator indicates the shift lever position when

the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. (See

“Driving with Automatic Transmission (AT)” (P.5-

12).)

SIC4379

This function can be turned on or off. (See “Trip

computer” (P.2-40).)

Outside air temperature (Type B)

(model with segment display)

The outside air temperature is displayed in °C.

Push the TRIP RESET switch to switch the twin

trip odometer display to the outside air tem-

perature display.

When the outside air temperature becomes 3°C

(37°F) or lower, the outside air temperature

display blinks to give a warning.

When the

display

switch is pushed, the compass

will indicate the direction of the

vehicle’s heading.

If the display reads “C” or the

switch is

pushed for 9 seconds, calibrate the compass by

driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at less

than 8 km/h (5 MPH). You can also calibrate the

compass by driving your vehicle on your every-

day route. The compass will be calibrated once

it has tracked 3 complete circles.

SIC2934

Zone map

The difference between magnetic north and

geographical 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:

number on the zone map.

After you release the switch, the display will

show a compass direction within a few

seconds.

1. Push the

switch

for 6 seconds. The

current zone number will appear in the

display.

.

If the compass deviates from the correct

indication soon after repeated adjustment,

have the compass checked at a NISSAN

2-14 Instruments and controls

dealer.

.

The 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 vehicle moves to an area where the

geomagnetism is stabilized.)

CAUTION:

.

Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.

which are attached to the vehicle by

means of

a magnet. They affect the

operation 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.
