ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE

The gauge indicates the engine lubrication sys-

tem oil pressure while the engine is running. The

needle should be in the middle of the gauge when

the engine is running.

CAUTION

This gauge is not designed to indicate

low engine oil level. Use the dipstick to

check the oil level. (See “Engine oil” in

the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”

section.)

If the gauge needle does not move with

the proper amount of engine oil, have

the vehicle checked by a NISSAN

dealer. Continued vehicle operation in

such a condition could cause serious

damage to the engine.

VOLTMETER

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON

position, the voltmeter indicates the battery volt-

age. When the engine is running, it indicates the

generator voltage.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop below

the normal range. If the needle is not in the normal

range (11 – 15 volts)

1

while the engine is

running, it may indicate that the charging system

is not functioning properly. Have the system

checked by a NISSAN dealer.
