left in the high voltage battery. The ideal battery

charge is within the normal range

gauge needle points within the zone shown in the

illustration.

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 E (Empty) after the

ignition is switched to OFF.
The low fuel warning light comes on when the

amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters E (Empty).

The

located on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

CAUTION

If the low fuel warning appears on the

vehicle information display indicator

while driving with the low fuel level,

refill the fuel tank immediately and start

the hybrid system. Do not attempt to

start (READY mode) and/or drive the

vehicle if the fuel tank is empty. The

engine will not be able to start to re-

charge the high voltage battery and the

high voltage battery will become dis-

charged and may become damaged or

rendered inoperable.

If the vehicle runs out of fuel,

the

Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) may come on. Refuel immediately.
After a few driving trips, the
light should turn off. If the light remains

on after a few driving trips, have the

vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer.

function Indicator Light (MIL)” later in
