It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service - For additional information, see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven before refuelling. The value is calculated based on recent fuel economy, the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank, and the actual fuel consumption.
Changes in driving patterns or conditions can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the value displayed may differ from the ac-tual distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “—” when the fuel level in the tank is getting low before the fuel gauge reaches 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
- The DTE value after refill is estimated based on recent fuel economy and the amount of fuel added.
- If a small amount of fuel is added (less than 2.7 gallons or 10 litres) or the ignition is on during refuelling, the display may not be updated.
- Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated DTE value (city/highway driving, idle time, remote start time, terrain, seasonal weather, added vehicle weight, added deflectors, roof racks, etc.).
