HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
SWITCH (where fitted)
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be

WARNING
Take care as the power outlet and plug may be
hot during or immediately after use.
CAUTION
•This power outlet is not designed for use with
a cigarette lighter unit.
•Do not use with accessories that exceed a 12
volt, 120 W (10 A) power draw. Do not use
double adaptors or more than one electrical
accessory.
•Use this power outlet with the engine running
(do not use for extended periods of time with
the engine stopped or idling).
•Avoid using when the air conditioner, head-
lights or rear window defogger are on.
•When not in use, be sure that the cap is
closed. Do not allow water to come into con-
tact with the outlet.
•Before inserting or disconnecting a plug, be
sure to turn off the power switch of the elec-
trical accessory being used or remove the key
from the ignition to turn the Acc power of the
vehicle off.
•Fully push the plug in sufficiently. If sufficient
contact is not made, the plug may overheat or
the internal temperature fuse may blow.
STORAGE TRAYS
WARNING
To help prevent injury in an accident or sudden
stop, do not place sharp objects in the trays.
GLOVE BOX
WARNING
Keep the glove box lid closed while driving to
help prevent injury in an accident or a sudden
stop.
To open the glove box, lift the latch and lower the lid.
Towards the rear of the glove box an elastic strap
can be used to hold the Owner’s Manual pack.

m:This symbol indicates that the vents are
closed. Moving the side control to this
position will close the vents.
Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by mov-
ing the centre knob (up/down, left/right) until the
desired position is achieved.
WARNING
•Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal inju-
ries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up. It is
recommended that you use the outside air
mode in cold weather to keep the windows
clear.
•Do not adjust the positioning of the heating/
ventilation or air conditioning controls while
driving.
NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner is running,
and is safely discharged underneath your ve-
hicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Models with Stop/Start System:
Whilst the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start
System, selecting airflow to the front defog-
ger will cause the engine to be automatically
restarted.Whilst the engine is running, selecting airflow
to the front defogger will prevent the Stop/
Start System automatically stopping the en-
gine.
The Stop/Start System will prevent unneces-
sary fuel consumption and exhaust emis-
sions. When the engine is stopped by the
Stop/Start System heater and air conditioner
performance may be reduced. To keep full
heater and air conditioner performance, re-
start the engine by pressing the Stop/Start
System OFF switch, or by turning the ignition
switch.
For more information on the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, see “Stop/Start System (where fitted)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.
•Odours from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up inside the air conditioner unit
and it can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
•When parking, set the air recirculation mode
to off to allow fresh air flowing into the pas-
senger compartment. This should help reduc-
ing the odours inside the vehicle.

•Air recirculation
Press the air recirculation (
) button to the
“ON” position (the indicator light goes on). Use
the “ON” position in situations such as: driving
on a dust raised road, avoiding traffic fumes or
having maximum cooling from the air conditioner
(where fitted).
If the windows fog up, switch on the air condi-
tioning (where fitted).
A/C (Air Conditioner) button (where fitted):
Press the A/C button to turn the air conditioner on
or off. When the air conditioner is on, the A/C indi-
cator light illuminates.

NOTE
•The air conditioner mode is used to cool and
dehumidify. For quick cooling when the out-
side temperature is high, select the air recir-
culation mode position (
). Be sure to re-
turn to the outside air mode to avoid windows
from fogging-up and interior air from becom-
ing stale.
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.
•For quick heating, press the air recirculation
() button to the “ON” position. Be sure to
return to the “OFF” position for normal heat-
ing (no indicator light) in order to avoid win-
dow fog and stale interior.

Air conditioner filter (where fitted)
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. For filter replace-
ment, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily during air conditioning system operation.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system (where fitted) in your
NISSAN vehicle is charged with an environmentally
friendly refrigerant.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.

ventilation or air conditioning controls while
driving.
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 at minimum (first bar) or
higher.
•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.

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.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then, close
the windows. This will allow the acceleration of
the air conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep windows closed while the air conditioner is
operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. To replace the fil-
ter, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily while operating the heater or air condition-
ing system.
