Normal Operating Condition Nissan Pathfinder R53

Information Display

Description

DISTANCE TO EMPTY

The calculated distance to empty may differ from the actual distance to empty if the refueling amount is approximately 4 (1 US gal,7/8 Imp gal) or less. This is because the refuel control (moves the fuel gauge needle quicker than normal judging that the driver is refueling the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle) is not performing.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

The displayed ambient temperature on the information display may differ from the actual temperature because it is a corrected value calculated from the ambient sensor signal by the combination meter. Refer to System Description for details on the correction process.

Head up Display

Symptom Description

The head up display unit controls and protects the backlight and display when the LED temperature becomes high. Refer to Protection Function.
