ECO mode NISSAN ALTIMA SEDAN 2016 Owner's Manual

Cooling
This mode is used to cool and dehumidify the air.1. Press the
button to the OFF position.
2. Press the
air flow control button.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
4. Press the A/C button. The indicator light comes on.
5. Turn the temperature control dial to the de- sired position.
● For quick cooling when the outside tem-
perature is high, press the
button to
the ON position. Be sure to return the
to the OFF position for normal cooling. MAX
A/C may be used for quick cooling.
Dehumidified heating
This mode is used to heat and dehumidify the air.
1. Press the
button to the OFF position.
2. Press the
air flow control button.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
4. Press the A/C button. The indicator light comes on. 5. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-
sired position.
Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows and
dehumidify the air.
1. Press the
air flow control button.
2. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
● When the
orare selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on if the
outside temperature is more than 36°F
(2°C) . This dehumidifies the air which helps
defog the windshield. The
mode au-
tomatically turns off, allowing outside air to
be drawn into the passenger compartment
to further improve the defogging perfor-
mance.
● The air conditioner is always on in
mode.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the de- sired position.
Operating tips
●Keep the windows and moonroof closed
while the air conditioner is in operation. ●
After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 min-
utes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then,
close the windows. This allows the air con-
ditioner to cool the interior more quickly.
● The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and dial

WARNING
● The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
● Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, 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.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.

can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to

ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.

Remote start logic (if so equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate con-
trols and remote start function may go into auto-
matic heating or cooling mode when remote start
is activated depending on outside and cabin tem-
peratures. During this period, the climate control
display and buttons will be inoperable until igni-
tion switch is turned on.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control
Press thefan speed control buttons to
manually control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to return to automatic
control of the fan speed.

Press theair recirculation button to recir-
culate interior air inside the vehicle.
The air recirculation cannot be activated when
the air conditioner is in the
front defogging
mode.
Fresh air intake
Press thefresh air intake button to draw
outside air into the passenger compartment.
Air flow control
Pressing the MODE button manually controls air
flow and selects the air outlet:
— Air flows from center and side
vents.
— Air flows from center and sidevents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
— Air flows from defroster and footoutlets.
To turn system off
Press the ON-OFF button.
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 tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally. The sunload sensor, located on the top driver’s
side of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put any-
thing on or around this sensor.
