the temperature displayed on various signs or
billboards.
OPERATING TIPS When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is not
a malfunction. After the coolant temperature
warms up, the air flow from the foot outlets will
operate normally. The sensor on the instrument panel helps
maintain a constant temperature; do not put
anything on or around this sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER The air conditioning system is equipped with a
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the

movement, reception conditions will constantly
change. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your radio
reception.
FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may some-
times interfere with FM station reception even
if the FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to
the distance between the transmitter and re-
ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,
exhibiting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from a station transmitter, the signals will tend
to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with increased
distance from the station transmitter, static or
flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by
adjusting the treble control counterclockwise
to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics. AM
signals are also subject to interference as they
travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for sev-
eral seconds during ionospheric turbulence
even in areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical SAA0306

power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION When the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio
may not work properly. This is not a malfunc-
tion. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite
radio ON for satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.
AUDIO OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
Cassette player O To maintain good quality sound,
INFINITI recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
O Cassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and away
from direct sunlight, heat, dust, mois-
ture and magnetic sources.
O Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.
O Do not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player.
O If a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly around the
hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.
O Over a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may col-
lect a tape coating residue as the tape is
played. This residue accumulation can
cause weak or wavering sound, and
should be removed periodically with a
head cleaning tape. If the residue is not
removed periodically, the player may
need to be disassembled for cleaning.
Compact Disc (CD) player O During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the hu-
midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and
dehumidify or ventilate the player com-
pletely.
O The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
O The CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the compartment temperature
is extremely high. Decrease the tem-
perature before use. O Only use high quality 4.7 inches (12 cm)
round discs that have the ªCOMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIOº logo on the disc
or packaging.
O Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight. SAA0480
