MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer sets the time for changing the engine oil. You can set or reset the distance for changing the engine oil.
Oil filter replacement indicator

This indicator appears when the customer sets a distance for replacing tyres. You can set or reset the distance for replacing tyres. (See “Trip computer”.
WARNING
The tyre replacement indicator is not a substitute for regular tyre checks, including tyre pressure checks. See “Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-37). Many factors including tyre inflation, alignment, driving habits and road conditions affect tyre wear and when tyres should be replaced. Setting the tyre replacement indicator for a certain driving distance does not mean your tyres will last that long. Use the tyre replacement indicator as a guide only and always perform regular tyre checks. Failure to perform regular tire checks, including tire pressure checks could result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision, which could result in serious personal injury or death.
“OTHER” indicator
This indicator appears when the customer set time comes for replacing items other than the engine oil, oil filter and tyres. You can set or reset the distance for replacing the items. (See “Trip computer”
More maintenance reminders are also available on the centre display. (See NissanConnect® Owner’s Manual.)

Distance to empty (dte — MILES or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you with an estimation of the distance that can be driven before refuelling. The dte is constantly being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low-range warning feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte display will change to “——”.
- If the amount of fuel added is small, the display just before the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position may continue to be displayed.
- When driving uphill or rounding curves, the fuel in the tank shifts, which may momentarily change the display.
