TRIP COMPUTER : System Description INFOID:0000000012562998

FUNCTION
The trip computer can indicate the following items.
• DTE (distance to empty)
• Trip distance
• Trip time
• Average fuel consumption
• Average vehicle speed
DTE (DISTANCE TO EMPTY) INDICATION
The range indication provides the driver with an estimation of the distance that can be driven before refueling.
The range is calculated by signals from the fuel level sensor unit (fuel remaining), ECM (fuel consumption)
and the ABS actuator and electric unit (vehicle speed). The indication will be refreshed every 30 seconds.
When fuel remaining is less than approximately 11.6 (3 1/8 US gal, 2 1/2 Imp gal), the indication will blink as
a warning. If the fuel remaining is less than approximately 9.6 (2 1/2 US gal, 2 1/8 Imp gal), the indication will

show “---”. In this case, the display will change to the DTE mode even though the display is showing a different
mode. When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, DTE mode will display “---” until the vehicle is A
driven 0.3 miles (0.5 km).
TRIP DISTANCE
Trip distance is calculated by signal from the ABS actuator and electric unit (vehicle speed). If trip distance is B
reset, trip time will be reset at the same time.
TRIP TIME
Trip time displays cumulative ignition switch ON time. If trip time is reset, trip distance will be reset at the same C
time.
AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION D
Average fuel consumption indication is calculated by signals from the ABS actuator and electric unit (vehicle
speed) and the ECM (fuel consumption). The indication will be refreshed every 30 seconds.
AVERAGE VEHICLE SPEED E
Average vehicle speed indication is calculated by running distance and running time. The indication will be
refreshed every 30 seconds. If average vehicle speed is reset, average fuel consumption will be reset at the
same time. After resetting, the display will show “---” for 30 seconds.
F
HOW TO CHANGE/RESET INDICATION

ZONE VARIATION SETTING PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and geographical north can sometimes be great enough to cause
false compass readings. This difference is known as variance. In order for the compass to operate properly J
(accurately) in a particular zone, the zone variation must be calibrated using the following procedure.

• The electronic compass is highly protected from changes in most magnetic fields. However, some large
changes in magnetic fields can affect it. Some examples are (but not limited to): high tension power lines,
large steel buildings, subways, steel bridges, automatic car washes, large piles of scrap metal, etc. While
this does not happen very often, it is possible.
• During normal operation, the Compass Mirror will continuously update the compass calibration to adjust for
gradual changes in the vehicle's magnetic "remnant" field. If the vehicle is subjected to high magnetic influ-
ences, the compass may appear to indicate false headings, become locked, or appear that it is unable to be
calibrated. If this occurs, perform the calibration procedure.
• If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked, ver-
ify the correct zone variance.

PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000012563046

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. D
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING: E
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
F
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this G
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS H
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a I
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the J
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
