RADIO
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and
press the power on switch to turn on the
radio. 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,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. 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 en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a mov-
ing vehicle, even when the finest equipment
is used. These characteristics are com-pletely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. 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 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 antennaposition, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can
be reduced by adjusting the treble control
counterclockwise to reduce treble re-
sponse.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected 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
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

FM-AM RADIO WITH COMPACT
DISC (CD) PLAYER (if so
equipped)
Audio main operation
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains, and other
external influences. 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.
PWR/VOL control knob
Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON
position, then push the PWR/VOL control
knob button. If you listen to the radio with
the engine not running, turn the key to the
ACC position. The mode (radio or CD)
which was playing immediately before the
system was turned off resumes playing.
When no CD is loaded, the radio comes on.
Pushing the PWR/VOL control knob button
again turns the system off.Turn the PWR/VOL control knob to the right
to increase volume or to the left to decrease
volume.
Adjusting tone quality and speaker bal-
ance
To adjust the audio levels for bass, treble,
fader and balance, push the AUDIO button
and adjust the level with the SEEK/TRACK
button. Press the AUDIO button once for
BAS (bass), twice for TRE (treble), three
times for FAD (fader) and four times for BAL
(balance). Once the audio level is set the
display will return back to radio or CD
display mode after 7 seconds or the AUDIO
button can be pressed again within 7 sec-
onds to set the next audio level. Pressing
the AUDIO button a fifth time will return the
display back to radio or CD display mode.
Fader adjusts the sound level between the
front and rear speakers, balance adjusts the
sound level between the right and left
speakers.
Clock set
Press and hold the MENU button for more
than 2 seconds the radio beeps and the
hours flash, use the SEEK/TRACK button to

FM-AM radio operation
FM-AM band select
Push the AM or the FM button to change
from AM to FM reception.
The FM stereo indicator, ST, illuminates
during FM stereo reception. When the ste-
reo broadcast signal is weak, the radio
automatically changes from stereo to mon-
aural reception.
Station signal strength, distance from radio
transmitter, buildings, bridges, mountains,
and other external influences affect radio
reception. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these exter-
nal influences.Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
TUNE/FF-REV
WARNING
The radio should not be tuned while
driving so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Use the
orbuttons for manual tun-
ing. To move quickly through the channels,
hold the tuning buttons down.
SEEK tuning
Push SEEK/TRACK (or). SEEK tuning
begins from low to high frequencies or high
to low frequencies, depending on which but-
ton is pressed, and stops at the next broad-
casting station. If using the up button, once
the highest broadcasting station is reached,
the radio continues in the SEEK mode at the
lowest broadcasting station. If using the
down button, once the lowest broadcasting
station is reached, the radio continues in theSEEK mode at the highest broadcasting sta-
tion.
SCAN tuning
Push the SCAN button. SCAN illuminates in
the display window. Scan tuning begins
from low to high frequencies or from high to
low frequencies. Scan tuning stops at each
broadcasting station that has sufficient sig-
nal strength for 5 seconds. When scanning,
SCAN 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.

mended. Exercise extreme caution
at all times so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
cIf a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
cKeep the antenna as far away as
possible from the Engine Control
Module (ECM).
cKeep the antenna wire more than 8
in. (20 cm) away from the Multiport
Fuel Injection harness. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any har-
ness.
cAdjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.cConnect the ground wire from the

IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
Unfortunately, accidents do occur. In this
unlikely event, there is some important in-
formation you should know.
Many insurance companies routinely autho-
rize the use of non-genuine collision parts in
order to cut costs, among other reasons.
Insist on the use of Genuine
NISSAN Collision Parts!
If you want your vehicle to be restored using
parts made to NISSAN's original exactingspecifications þ if you want to help it to last
and hold its resale value, the solution is
simple.
Tell your insurance agent and
your repair shop to only use Genuine
NISSAN Collision Parts.
NISSAN does not
warrant non-NISSAN parts, nor does
NISSAN's warranty apply to damage
caused by a non-genuine part.
Using Genuine NISSAN Parts can help pro-
tect your personal safety, preserve your
warranty protection and maintain the resale
value of your vehicle. And if your vehicle
was leased, using Genuine NISSAN Parts
may prevent or limit unnecessary excess
wear and tear expenses at the end of your
lease.
NISSAN designs its hoods with crumple
zones to minimize the risk that the hood will
penetrate the windshield of your vehicle in
an accident. Non-genuine (imitation) parts
may not provide such built in safeguards.
Also, non-genuine parts often show prema-
ture wear, rust and corrosion.
Why should you take a chance?
In over 40 states, the law says you must be
advised if non-genuine parts are used to
repair your vehicle. And some states haveenacted laws that restrict insurance compa-
nies from authorizing the use of non-
genuine collision parts during the new ve-
hicle warranty. These laws help protect you,
so you can take action to protect yourself.
It's your right!
