Miles till empty gauge
I just bought an 03 Touring and I was resetting my gauges this morning (miles till mty, avg mpg, etc). The problem is that I can reset all of the gauges in that cluster EXCEPT the miles till mty one. It is still showing the countdown from before I filled up yesterday. I reset my trip odometer when I filled up (as I always do) but at the time did not know about the resetting of the miles till mty gauge. I tried doing the reset per the manual (holding down the bottom buttom there for more than 1 sec) but it does not reset. Does that gauge reset when I reset the trip odometer??
I am excited about having this feature again on a car but I want to make sure it is accurate too. |
There's no reset for it. It is calculated by the computer based on the estimate of how much fuel is in the tank and your average MPG.
|
So it will reset each time I fill up then? Great. That is what I was wanting to know. Thanks for the help :)

Correct, when you fill the tank, the DTE will read an amount based on full tank and current Avg MPG (usually 350 miles or more). I've actually driven the Z on a road trip and seen the DTE increase over time. Higher Avg MPG on the highway means that you can go farther on what's left in the tank.
|
If you've filled up the tank and the DTE has not changed that would be a problem.
That was what I understood your question to be, correct? It should recalculate once you add gas. |
DTE is an awesome feature

I wish Nissan would have some sort of guage that could give you a rough estimation +/- 10 miles that would show how far you could drive with the gas in your tank. Damn Nissan engineers, I have an enthusiast model.

^ How is that different than what you already have? :confused:

I drove 150 miles when that gas guage was flashing (------) and still didnt run out of fuel.

Thanks DavesZ#3 and Waizzz. I had a Durango in 01 that had the same features but you had to reset it each time you filled up. I assumed that is what I needed to do with this one. I am still working on the same tank so probably this weekend when I fill up I'll watch to see if it resets.
