TRIP COMPUTER
The trip computer may be used to check items such as
speed, outside air temperature, distance to empty (fuel),
average mileage and speed, elapsed time and distance
traveled. Additionally, it can function as a stopwatch or be
used to operate the RPM shift feature (REV) (Manual
transmission only).
To operate the Trip Computer:
Turn the ignition switch on. Then press the side of the buttons.
Press the button 01 toward the left to scroll through
each mode.
Press the button 02 toward the left to reset or adjust
the various mode selections.
RPM SHIFT INDICATOR
(Manual transmission only)
The engine RPM shift indicator light (REV) is located in
the tachometer. During driving, it indicates ‘shift point’,
or time to up-shift.
The shift indicator light will begin flashing about
500 RPM before a pre-set engine RPM is reached
in any gear. Then, when the actual pre-set RPM is
reached, the shift indicator light will stop flashing
and remain on.
The engine RPM shift point may be set by the driver using the Trip Computer
display. Or it may be deactivated, also using the Trip Computer display.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this system
does not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a
blowout while driving). It also does not monitor the air pressure in
the spare tire.
Tire pressure is affected by temperature. Low outside temperature
causes lower tire pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate.
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all four tires.
To turn the low tire pressure warning light off, adjust the low tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening.
If TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 60 seconds when the key is turned on. After 60 seconds, the light will
remain on. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
