AUTO SWITCH

The compressor, intake doors, air mix doors, mode doors and blower speed are automatically controlled
so that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the
operator.

When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, fan speed, and discharge air temperature are automati-
cally controlled.
TEMPERATURE SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
The set temperature is increased or decreased with this dial.
TEMPERATURE SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER SIDE)

The set temperature is increased or decreased with this dial.

When the temperature switch is pressed, the dual switch indicator will automatically illuminate.
RECIRCULATION (REC) SWITCH

When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to REC.

When REC switch is ON and is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE switch
indicators blink twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during auto-
matically controlled.

When FRE switch is turned ON, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode). REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.

REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, or at the D/F position.
FRESH (FRE) SWITCH

When FRE switch is ON, FRE switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to FRE.

When FRE switch is ON and is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE switch
indicators blink twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during auto-
matically controlled.

When REC switch is turned ON, FRE switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to REC mode). FRE mode
can be re-entered by pressing FRE switch again.
DEFROSTER (DEF) SWITCH
Mode doors are set to the defrost position with this switch. Also, intake doors are set to the outside air position,
and compressor turns ON.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When illumination is ON, rear window is defogged.
OFF SWITCH
Compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the mode doors are
set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
Compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCH
The air discharge outlets is controlled by this switch.
FAN SWITCH
The blower speed is manually controlled with this switch. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as
shown on the display screen).
DUAL SWITCH (WITH LEFT AND RIGHT VENTILATION TEMPERATURE SEPARATELY CON-
TROL SYSTEM)

When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated, the driver-side outlet and passenger-side outlet, as well as
the setting temperature, can each be set independently.

When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated, the driver-side outlet and setting temperature is
applied to both sides.

Fail-safe FunctionAJS0014E

If a communication error exists between unified meter and A/C amp. and A/C and AV switch for 30 sec-
onds or longer, air conditioner is controlled under following conditions:
–Compressor: ON
–Air outlet: AUTO
–Air inlet: FRE (Fresh)
–Blower fan speed: AUTO
–Set temperature: Setting before communication error occurs

CAN Communication System DescriptionAJS0014H
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-30,
"CAN Communication Unit" .

CONSULT-II Function (BCM)AJS0014J
CONSULT-II can display each diagnosis item using the diagnosis test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II BASIC OPERATION
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II and “CON- SULT-II CONVERTER” to the data link connector, and then turn
the ignition switch ON.
2. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
3. Touch “BCM” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen. If “BCM” is not indicated, refer to GI-39, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector
(DLC) Circuit" .
