RADIO
Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position
and press the PWR (power)/VOL (volume) knob
to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio with
the engine not running, the key should be turned
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra-
dio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-
ity of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a given re-
ception area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.Reception conditions will constantly change be-
cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other ve-
hicles can work against ideal reception. De-
scribed below are some of the factors that can
affect your radio reception.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 - 30
miles (40 - 48 km) , with monaural (single chan-
nel) FM having slightly more range than stereo
FM. External influences may sometimes 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 receiver. 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 to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary 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 sub-
ject 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 several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped)
When the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may
not work properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait
more than 10 minutes with satellite radio ON and

blinks in the display. Pushing the SCAN button
again during this 5 second period stops SCAN
tuning and the radio remains tuned to that station.
Station memory operation
Each preset mode (A, B or C) has 6 presets,
capable of storing any combination of AM, FM,
SAT (if so equipped ) and FM RDS stations.
Press the PRESET ABC button to change be-
tween the presets:
A! B! C
The radio displays icon A, B or C to indicate
which set of presets is active.
To store a radio station in a preset: 1. Select the desired preset by pressing PRE- SET ABC.
2. Select the desired AM, FM or SAT (if so equipped) station band.
3. Tune to the desired station.
4. Press the desired station select button (>1.5 seconds) .
5. A beep will sound indicating memorization is complete.
6. Other station select buttons can be set in the same manner. If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the radio
fuse opens, the radio memory is canceled. In that
case, reset the desired stations.
Preset Scan
Pressing the Preset Scan button (<1.5 seconds)
scans the permanent preset memory that is se-
lected (A, B or C) fro
m1-6for5seconds.
All Preset Scan
Pressing the Preset Scan button (>1.5 seconds)
scans all the permanent preset memory banks (A,
BorC)from1-6for5 seconds.
Canceling Preset Scan mode
Pressing the Preset Scan (P.SCAN) button again
will cancel the Preset Scan mode.
Speed Sensitive Control Volume (SSV) (if
so equipped)
Your vehicle has Speed Sensitive Control Vol-
ume (SSV) for audio. The audio volume changes
as the driving speed changes.
Press and hold the MENU button (>2 seconds)
until the radio beeps to start the editing mode.
Press the MENU button until the display shows
“SSV”. This display will last 2 seconds and then
change to “OFF”. Press TUNE/FF-REV (
or) to change between:
Off !Low !Mid !High
Compact disc (CD) player operation
Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position.
CAUTION
c Do not force a compact disc into the CD
insert slot. This could damage the CD
and/or CD changer/player.
c Trying to load a CD with the CD door
closed could damage the CD and/or CD
changer.
CD button
When the CD button is pressed with a compact
disc loaded and the radio playing, the radio turns
off and the last used compact disc starts to play.
FF (Fast Forward) , REW
(Rewind) buttons
When the TUNE/FF-REV (
or) but-
ton is pressed while the compact disc is playing,
the compact disc plays at an increased speed
while fast forwarding or rewinding. When the
button is released, the compact disc returns to
normal play speed.
