REAR VENTILATORS
If the center knob is moved fully to the left or
right, the ventilators will be closed.
Adjust the air flow direction of the ventilators by
moving the center knob (up/down, left/right)
until the desired position is achieved.
WARNING
.The heater and air conditioner oper-
ate only when the engine is running.
. Never leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in the vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadver-
tently become involved in a serious
accident and injure themselves. On
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driving
so that full attention may be given
to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate even if the engine is turned off and the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
NOTE:
.
Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the passen-
ger compartment through the vents.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
Šions automa-
tically.
“The high-density Plasmacluster
Šions gener-
ated in the air conditioner’s air stream not only
suppress airborne bacteria and reduce the
adherence of odors to the interior trim, but also
have a proven skin moisture preserving effect.”
The amount of Plasmacluster
Šions increases
according to the amount of air flow. When the air
flow is high, “

screen and when the air flow is low, the
indication in the screen changes to “
”*B.

Automatic air intake control with exhaust
gas/outside odor detection sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust gas
detection sensor. When the automatic air intake
control is activated, the sensor detects industry
odors such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust
gas such as gasoline or diesel. When such
odors or gas are detected, “
”*Cwill
appear on the display and the system auto-
matically changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
The automatic air intake control can be activated when the “
AUTO” auto-recirculation button
is pushed (the indicator light on the “AUTO”
auto-recirculation button will illuminate) under
the following conditions.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on the
front defroster“
FRONT” button is
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328 F
(08C) or above.
When the automatic air intake control is ON, for
the first 5 minutes, the recirculation mode is
selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen from
entering the vehicle and cleans the air inside of
the vehicle with positive and negative ions that
are emitted from the ventilator.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust gas
and automatically alternates between the recir-
culation mode and outside air circulation mode.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with the proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer. However, it may contribute in a
small part to global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See “Air conditioning sys-
tem refrigerant and lubricant recommendations”
(P.10-6) .)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the
filter in accordance with the specified main-
tenance intervals listed in the “9. Maintenance
and schedules” section. It is recommended to
visit a NISSAN dealer to replace the filter. A
natural grape seed polyphenol filter (if so
equipped) collects and neutralizes dirt, pollen,
dust, etc.
The filter should be replaced if air flow is
extremely decreased or when windows fog
up easily when operating heater or air
conditioning system.

To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME
switch. When the vehicle attains the desired
speed, release the switch.
. Push, then quickly release the ACCELER-
ATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h) .
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.
. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle slows
down to the desired speed.
. Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h) .
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set cruising
speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH
(40 km/h) .
CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) ,
follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.
. Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles
(800 km) . Your engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged. Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator and brake pedal
application.
.Avoid rapid starts and stops..Use smooth, gentle accelerator andbrake application whenever possible.
.Maintain constant speed while commut-
ing and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
.Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.
.Maintaining a steady speed can minimize red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.
3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher vehicle speeds.
.Below 40 MPH (64 km/h) , it is moreefficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
.Above 40 MPH (64 km/h) , it is moreefficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.
