Precautions on cassette tape player
operation
ITo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends that you use cas-
sette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
ICassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and away
from direct sunlight, heat, moisture or
magnetic sources.
Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.
IDo not use cassettes that have peeling
or loose labels. If used, the label could
jam in the player.
IIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly. Loose tape
may cause jamming and wavering
sound quality.
IOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
gather a tape coating residue as the tape
passes over the head. This residue ac-cumulation can cause a weak or waver-
ing sound and should be removed peri-
odically with a head cleaning tape.
If the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.
COMPACT DISC (CD) PLAYER
OPERATION
Turn the ignition key to the ªACCº or ªONº
position and insert the compact disc into the
slot with the label side facing up. The compact
disc will be guided automatically into the slot
and start playing.
After loading the disc, the number of tracks on
the disc and the play time will appear on the
display.
If the radio or tape is already operating, it will
automatically turn off and the compact disc will
play.
Do not force the compact disc into the
slot. This could damage the player.
If the system has been turned off while the
compact disc was playing, pushing the

Page 101 of 215

If the compact disc comes out and is not
removed, it will be pulled back into the slot
to protect it. (without 8 cm diameter com-
pact discs)
DISC indicator light
This light comes on when the compact disc is
loaded.
IDuring cold weather or rainy days,
the player may malfunction due to the
humidity. If this occurs, remove the
CD and dehumidify or ventilate the
player completely.
IThe player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
IThe CD player sometimes cannot
function when the compartment tem-
perature is extremely high. Decrease
the temperature before use.
IDo not expose the CD to direct sun-
light.IDo not use an 8 cm CD adapter as this
will cause malfunction.
Power antenna
The antenna will automatically extend when
the radio is turned on, and retract when
switched off. If the radio is left on, the antenna
will retract and extend with the ignition key
ªOFF-ONº operation.
IBefore turning the radio on, make
sure that there is no one near the
antenna outlet and there is enough
space for it to extend.
ITo prevent damage, be sure that an-
tenna is fully retracted before the
vehicle enters an automated car
wash.
IDirt and other foreign matter on the
power antenna rod may interrupt its
operation. Clean the rod periodically
with a damp cloth. This type of clean-
ing is especially important during the
winter seasons in areas where road
salt and other chemicals may be
spread on road surfaces and
splashed onto the antenna rod.
