Fuel gauge
The gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to E (Empty) after the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers “E” (Empty).
The low fuel warning 
appears on the dot
matrix liquid crystal display when the fuel level in
the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the gauge reaches
“E”. There will be a small reserve of fuel in the
tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches “E”.
The
indicates that the fuel-filler
door is
located on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
• 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 by
a NISSAN dealer.
• For additional
information, see
