It can be difficult to decipher the often complicated terminology surrounding your car. From parts under the hood that youâ€™ll never see to buttons on the dash that control entire vehicles systems, itâ€™s important to understand what auto lingo is all about.

One area of frequent confusion relates to the many gauges in your vehicle. They have similar-sounding names, but all perform very unique tasks. In the 2018 Nissan Altima 2.5 S, these include the speedometer, odometer, engine coolant, tachometer, and trip odometer. Letâ€™s break down how each of these differs.

Speedometer: This is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle.

Odometer: This instrument measures the distance that the car has traveled in total since it was first placed into service.

Engine coolant: This gauge helps drivers determine if the vehicle is in danger of overheating. Most of these displays rely on sensors. They operate using electrical resistance in measuring the temperature.

Tachometer: This instrument is different from the speedometer, but it still deals with how fast youâ€™re going. It shows the working speed of your engine in revolutions per minute.

Trip odometer: You can use this gauge to track distance traveled in a particular journey or part of one. It can be reset manually at any time.

Now that weâ€™ve demystified gauges, itâ€™s time to stop by and learn more about the 2018 Altima 2.5 S. Hurry in to Kirkland Nissan today to take a test drive!Â Â
