Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NATS security warning/indicator light
(where fitted)
One of the following functions (depending on the
vehicle specifications) indicates that the vehicle is
equipped with NATS:
The NATS security warning light (Type A) is lo-
cated in the meter panel and blinks whenever
the ignition switch is in the LOCK, “OFF” or Acc
position.
The NATS security indicator light (TypejB) is
located on the Driver’s side of the dashboard
and blinks whenever the ignition switch is in the
LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position.
If the NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS) is mal-
functioning, this light will remain on while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine will not
start, see your NISSAN dealer for NATS service
as soon as possible. Please bring all NATS keys
or NATS Intelligent Keys when visiting your
NISSAN dealer for service.
Additional information for RHD models
If the NATS is malfunctioning, this light will turn on
after flashing six times while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
However, if the NATS security warning light turns
off after the light has remained on for 15 minutes,
there is a 10 second time slot to start the engine
after the ignition is turned off. See your NISSAN
dealer for NATS service as soon as possible.

while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Around View Monitor operates. The monitor displays
various views of the position of the vehicle. NOTE
At first operation, the corner lines are blinking
yellow for about 3 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion but a reminder to be cautious.
Available views:
Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front passen-
ger’s side wheel.
Front view
The view to the front of the vehicle.
Rear view

The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.
WARNING
The Around View Monitor is intended for day
time use. Do not use the system in bad light
conditions.
The Around View Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper vehicle
operation because it has areas where objects
cannot be viewed. Always visually check to be
sure that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always operate the vehicle slowly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTE
The air conditioner cooling function operates
only when the engine is running, and the am-
bient temperature is above -2°C (28°F).
The air conditioner can be used to dehumidify
when heating, or to reduce air temperature
and dehumidify when cooling. This is possible
in both auto or manual control mode as long
as the fan speed is minimum (first bar).
When the AUTO mode is selected, the tem-
perature of the passenger compartment will
be maintained automatically. Air flow distribu-
tion and fan speed will also be controlled au-
tomatically.
Controls
NOTE
Before any selection or change is made, press
the AUTO button to activate the heater and air
conditioner system.
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating (AUTO
mode):
This mode may be used all year round. The system
works automatically to control the inside tempera-
ture, air flow distribution and fan speed after the
preferred temperature is set manually.
1. Press the AUTO button (the indicator light willilluminate).
2. Operate the driver’s side temperature control dial to set the desired temperature. Adjust the temperature to about 22°C (72°F) for
normal operation.

temperature control dial. When the passenger
side temperature control dial is turned, the DUAL
indicator light will come on. To turn off the pas-
senger side temperature control, press the DUAL
button.
NOTE
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly, this is not a malfunction.
It is not possible to use DUAL mode when
windscreen defogger is selected.
Heating (AUTO mode):
Use this mode for heating purposes only.
1. Press the A/C button to turn off the air condi- tioner cooling function (A/C indicator light goes
off).
2. Select the desired temperature with the tempera- ture control dial.
Do not set the temperature at a lower level than
the one of the outside air temperature. Other-
wise the system may not work properly.
This mode is not recommended if the windscreen
fogs up. Airflow direction control buttons:

off.
Outside air is drawn into the passenger com-
partment to improve the defogging performance.
Heating and defogging (Manual mode):
This mode heats the interior and defogs the wind-
screen.
The outside air is drawn inside the passenger com-
partment when the
button is pressed. Switch
on the air-conditioning to improve the defogging and
adjust the preferred fan speed and temperature.
Fan speed control
m(Manual mode):
Turn the fan speed control dial anticlockwise or
clockwise to adjust the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to change the fan speed to
automatic mode. Air recirculation:
Use this mode to recirculate interior air inside the
passenger compartment in situations such as driv-
ing on a dust raised road, avoiding traffic fumes or
having maximum cooling from the air conditioner.
Press the
<
>button to recirculate interior air.
The indicator light illuminates and the air conditioner
will automatically come on.
When the air recirculation mode is switched off, out-
side air is drawn into the passenger compartment.
Outside air circulation:
Use this mode to draw outside air into the passen-
ger compartment for normal heating, ventilation or
air conditioner operation.
Press the <
>button to change the air intake
from the air recirculation to the outside air mode.
The indicator light (
) turns off. To turn the system on/off:
Press the “ON/OFF” (
) button to turn the system
on or off.
The sensor
jA (next to the tweeter speaker) helps
the air conditioning system to maintain a constant
cabin temperature. Do not put anything on or around
this sensor and ensure that items nearby on the
windscreen do not shade it.
Operating tips
In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the airflow from the
floor outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature has warmed up,
the airflow from the floor outlets will operate nor-
mally.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
Avoid quick starts.
Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
Check that all doors are closed.
Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.
