If the amount of fuel added is small,

the display just before the ignition

switch is placed in the “OFF” position

may continue to be displayed.

When driving uphill or rounding

curves, the fuel in the tank shifts,

CAUTION

mal when the gauge needle points within

the zone

shown in the illustration.

When engine speed approaches the

red zone, shift to a higher gear or

reduce engine speed. Operating the

engine in the red zone may cause

serious engine damage.

The engine coolant temperature will vary

with the outside air temperature and

driving conditions.

Instruments and controls 2-7

Refuel before the gauge reads the

empty (0) position.

There is a small reserve of fuel in the tank

when the fuel gauge reads the empty (0)

position.

CAUTION

If the gauge indicates the engine

coolant temperature is near the

hot (H) end of the normal range,

reduce vehicle speed to decrease

the temperature.

CAUTION

If the gauge is over the normal

range, stop the vehicle as soon as

safely possible and let the engine

idle.

If the engine is overheated, con-

tinued operation of the vehicle

may seriously damage the en-

gine. (See “If your vehicle over-

heats” (P.6-16) for immediate

action required.)

If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the

malfunction 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

vehicle inspected. It is recom-

mended you visit a NISSAN dealer

for this service.

FUEL GAUGE

The fuel gauge indicates the approximate

fuel level in the tank when the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

The gauge may move slightly during

braking, turning, accelerating, or going

up and down hills due to movement of

fuel in the tank.

For additional information, see

“Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL)” (P.2-17).

The low fuel warning

appears on the

vehicle information display when the fuel

level in the tank is getting low. Refuel as

soon as it is convenient, preferably before

the gauge reads 0 (empty).

The arrow,

, indicates the location of

the fuel-filler door.
