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.
NOTE: ● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
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
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling or heating (auto)
This mode may be normally used all year round as
the system automatically works to keep a con-
stant temperature. Air flow distribution and fan
speed are also controlled automatically. 1. Press the AUTO button on. (AUTO will be displayed.)

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
1, located on the top center
of the instrument panel, helps the system main-
tain a constant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around this sensor.1. Front seat overhead console controls
2. Rear seat overhead console controls
Rear seat temperature and fan speed can be
controlled from both the front seat overhead con-
sole controls or the rear seat overhead console
controls.
Press the REAR CTRL button to transfer control of
the rear climate functions to the rear passengers.
To operate the rear air conditioner, the engine
must be running.
If the rear seat fan control dial is set to (0) , the air
conditioner is turned off. If it is set to any of the fan
speed positions, air is discharged from the rear
vents at the corresponding speed.

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN ve-
hicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is re-
quired when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants
will cause severe damage to your air conditioner
system. For additional information, refer to “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and oil recommen-
dations” in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer is able to service your “environ-
mentally friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the ON·OFF button to turn the
radio on. If you listen to the radio with the engine
not running, the ignition switch should be placed
in 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 vehicle
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.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the de-
vice in a different location may reduce or elimi-
nate the noise.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 – 30 mi
(40 – 48 km) , with monaural (single channel) FM
having slightly more range than stereo FM. Exter-
nal influences may sometimes interfere with FM
station reception even if the FM station is within
25 mi (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 char-
acteristics 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.

Precautions
Start the engine when using the DVD entertain-
ment system.
Movies will not be shown on the front display
while the vehicle is in any drive position to reduce
driver distraction. Audio is available when a movie
is played. To view movies on the front display,
stop the vehicle in a safe location, move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position and apply the park-
ing brake.
WARNING
●The driver must not attempt to operate

phones while the vehicle is in motion so
that full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
● Do not attempt to modify the system to
display a movie on the front screen
while the vehicle is being driven. Doing
so may distract the driver and may
cause a collision and serious personal
injury or death.
CAUTION
● Only operate the DVD while the vehicle
engine is running. Operating the DVD
for extended periods of time with the
engine OFF can discharge the vehicle
battery.
● Do not allow the system to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled liq-
uids may cause the system to
malfunction.

WARNING
●The Mobile Entertainment System is
designed for rear seat passenger view-
ing only.
● It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a
person to drive a motor vehicle which is
equipped with a television viewer or
screen that is located in the motor ve-
hicle at any point forward of the back of
the driver’s seat, or that is visible, di-
rectly or indirectly, to the driver while
operating the vehicle.
● In the interest of safety, the monitors
should never be installed where they
will be visible, directly or indirectly, by
the operator of the motor vehicle.
● If your vehicle is equipped with a wire-
less rear seat audio system or any other
wireless infrared device, make sure it is
powered off when operating the Rear
Seat Entertainment System. If both sys-
tems are powered on at the same time,
the two systems may obstruct each
other, possibly creating undesirable au-
dio interference through the wireless
headphones. ●
For safety reasons, when changing
video discs it is recommended that the
vehicle is not in motion, and that you do
not allow children to unfasten safety
belts to change discs or make any ad-
justments to the system. System adjust-
ments can be accomplished using the
remote control unit, while safety belts
remain fastened.
CAUTION
● Be sure to run the vehicle engine while
using the system. Using this system
without running the engine can result in
a battery drain. To avoid the risk of
battery drain, please remember to turn
off the system when the vehicle is not in
use. Do not touch the inner pins of the
jacks on the front panel. Electrostatic
discharge may cause permanent dam-
age to the system. NOTE:
Depending on the USB device, it may or
may not charge when connected to the USB
connection port. Not all devices are able to
charge when connected to the USB connec-
tion port.
Each monitor includes a built-in dual channel
infrared transmitter for use with wireless head-
phones. The wireless headphones must be used
within a line of sight from the transmitter as infra-
red transmission, like visible light, travels only in a
straight line.
When placing the headphones on your head,
make sure to observe the Left and Right orienta-
tion. The headphones must be oriented correctly
(facing forward) in order to receive the audio
signal. Press the power button on the head-
phones, then select channel “A” to listen to moni-
tor A, or channel “B” to listen to monitor B. Adjust
the audio level using the volume control on each
headphone.
There is a 3.5mm stereo headphone output jack
on each monitor which can be used with any
standard stereo headphone with an in-line vol-
ume control (wired headphones sold separately) .
