hey, did it read like this: "---"
This happened to me but it was because it was too hot. This was in August in Death Valley, CA. No, I didn't bring my car there but we rented another 2k2 Maxima there (my choice ). I think it doesnt register after 135*F because I read 134 but never read 135.

This is in Death Valley once again. There were water tanks every half mile for around 20 miles. Here's the scary pic you DO NOT WANT TO SEE WHEN ITS 130*F outside:
Also, about 5-6 miles after seeing this sign I saw all these pontiac prototype cars outside. I asked my dad to pull over and I started talking to the guys. They were really cool but wouldn't give me info on the car. Now I can tell it's the new Bonneville after seeing the real version out on the street 3-4 months later. Enough about my trip.

I'm pretty sure--I forgot to try it on the way home. You're in Canada right? So perhaps they have a different option in this case. In my 2003 Owner's Manual, the description is on page 2-33.
I really hope I didn't get this mixed up, but when I initially posted, I could've sworn I tried it before and it worked.
Can someone verify? It's too cold to go outside

It doesn't work for me at all. It seems that you couldn't changed either from F to C or from C to F. It is kind of like a Factory Preset?

Sorry about the misinformation--next time I'll double check before posting.

The summer weather is nice enough, it's just that it is too short. Summer weather is really only June, July, and August. In those months the temp. ranges between about 15C - 28C (60F - 80F).
Man, you must be in a warm climate if you don't know what a block heater does. Basically, it supplies power to the engine block to heat it so starting is easier when it is cold out.

To see metric, switch your trip computer to display the temp., and then press and hold the "Mode" button, and it will toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Anyone else experience this?

Interesting point of view. We say we're getting American weather (Alaksa). I get the same "thunk!" sound sometimes when it is cold.

It won't display temperatures below -30C!
I was out at the movies a couple of nights ago and as I was going home I noticed that the temperature display just read ---. I thought that maybe it just wasn't registering for some reason. Then yesterday morning when I headed out to go to work (car is parked in garage) the temp. display read -18C. As I took the car outside and headed to work I watched the temperature start to fall. -20....-22....-25......-29......., and then from -29 it went to the --- display again. The actual outside temperature (heard it on the radio) was -39C.
I guess maybe Nissan didn't expect anybody to drive the Max in such horrible temperatures!

I had the stock Craptenzas on for awhile, but after experiencing their toboggan-like grip in the snow, I decided that I had better get some decent tires for the winter. I bought some 16 X 6.5 steel rims and mounted 205/60-16 Nokian WR's on them. The WR's are not a "true" snow tire like the Blizzak's or the Hakka 1's, but they will last longer, are still pretty good in the snow, and they are decent in both dry and wet too.

These tires are awesome in the snow, great in the wet an sticky in the dry also! The are rate all-weather + meaning they are rated for snow use. I wish I had them in the right size for my car, I'd use them year round.
BTW, from what I've heard, they are just as good as Blizzak & even Hakka's in winter.
