Instrument Panel: 2024 Infiniti Q50 Dashboard Guide
Located in the center of the cabin of the 2024 Infiniti Q50, the instrument panel dashboard serves as a vital component that gives drivers access to crucial controls and information. A digital speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and digital display are typical elements of this panel. While the tachometer helps with gear selection and engine monitoring, it monitors engine RPM and provides a clear perspective of your vehicle’s speed.

SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Odometer/twin trip odometer
- The odometer 1 and twin trip odometer 2 are displayed in the vehicle information display when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
- The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
- The twin trip odometer records the distance of individual trips.
Changing the display:
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch 3 under the combination meter panel changes the display as follows:
- TRIP A → TRIP B → TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer:
Pushing the TRIP RESET switch 3 for more than 1 second resets the trip odometer to zero.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Do not rev the engine into the red zone 1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce engine speed. Operating the engine in the red zone may cause serious engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
- The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
- The engine coolant temperature is within the normal range when the gauge needle points within the zone 1 shown in the illustration.
- The engine coolant temperature varies with the outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature is near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease the temperature. If the gauge is over the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and let the engine idle. If the engine is overheated, continued operation of the vehicle may seriously damage the engine.
See “If your vehicle overheats” for immediate action required.
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 “0” (Empty) after the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position.
- Refill the fuel tank before the gauge registers “0” (Empty).
- The low fuel warning light
illuminates on the meter when the fuel level is getting low. - Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably before the gauge reaches “0”. There will be a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reaches “0”.
- The
indicates that the fuel-filler door is located on the right 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? It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
- For additional information, see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”).
