POWER MOONROOF
The moonroof will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the ON position. The
power moonroof is operational for a period
of time, even if the ignition switch is placed
in the ACC or OFF position. If the driver's
door or the front passenger's door is
opened during this period of time, the
power to the moonroof is canceled.
Sliding the moonroof
To slide the moonroof:
• To fully open the moonroof, push theswitch
O1toward the open position until
it reaches the second detent. If the switch
O1is pushed to the first detent, only the
sunshade will open.
• To fully close the moonroof, push the switch
O2toward the close position until
it reaches the second detent. If the switch
O2is pushed to the first detent, the
moonroof will close but the sunshade will
remain open.
• To stop the moonroof, push the switch once more while it is opening or closing.
The moonroof will stop at the desired
position.
Tilting the moonroof
To tilt the moonroof:
• To tilt the moonroof up, push and releasethe tilt switch
O3. When the moonroof is
open, it will automatically close and then
tilt up.
• To tilt the moonroof down, push and re- lease the tilt switch
O3or push the switch
O2toward the close position until it
reaches the first detent. • To tilt the moonroof down and close the
sunshade at the same time, push the

O2to the close position until it
reaches the second detent.
Auto-reverse function (when
closing or tilting down the
moonroof)
The auto-reverse function can be acti-
vated when the moonroof is closed or
tilted down by automatic operation when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON po-
sition or for a period of time af ter the igni-
tion switch is placed in the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driv-
ing conditions, the auto-reverse func-
tion may be activated if an impact or
load similar to something being caught
in the moonroof occurs.
WARNING
There are some small distances imme-
diately before the closed position
which cannot be detected. Make sure
that all passengers have their hands,
etc., inside the vehicle before closing
the moonroof.

When closing
If the control unit detects something
caught in the moonroof as it moves to the
front, the moonroof will immediately open
backward.
When tilting down

caught in the moonroof as it tilts down, the
moonroof will immediately tilt up.
If the auto-reverse function malfunctions
and repeats opening or tilting up the moon-
roof, keep pushing the tilt down switch within
5 seconds af ter it happens; the moonroof
will fully close gradually. Make sure nothing is
caught in the moonroof.

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the top
center of the instrument panel, helps the
system maintain a constant temperature.
Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.• When the climate system is in automatic
operation and the engine coolant tem-
perature and outside air temperature
are low, the air flow outlet may default to
defroster mode for a maximum of 2 min-
utes 30 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion. Af ter the engine coolant tempera-
ture warms up, the air flow outlet will
return to foot mode and operation will
continue normally.
• When the outside and interior cabin tem- peratures are moderate to high, the in-
take setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may occur
when the previous climate setting was
turned off. This is not a malfunction. Af ter
the initial warm air is expelled, the intake
will return to automatic control, the air
flow outlet will return to previous settings,
and operation will continue normally. To
exit, press any climate control button.
•
Keep the moonroof (if so equipped) closed
while the air conditioner is in operation.
• If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is coming
out do not match, select the
mode.
• When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the foot outlets for
just a moment. This is not a malfunction.
LHA5021
4-32Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de-
signed with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth's
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
is required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. For additional
information, see “Air conditioner system
refrigerant and oil recommendations”
(P. 10-8).
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioner system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with proper
equipment.
ROOF MOUNTED ANTENNA
The antenna is located on the rear part of
the vehicle roof and an antenna pattern is
printed inside the rear window.
CAUTION
• A build-up of ice on the antenna can
affect radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore radio reception.
• When removing snow from the roof,
do not apply strong force to the an-
tenna. That may cause broken an-
tenna and roof panel dent.
• When using a high pressure car wash,
keep the high pressure nozzle away
from the antenna. The seal may be
deformed or damaged.
• The radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof
blocks the radio signal. If possible, do
not put cargo near the antenna.
• Do not place metalized film near the
rear window glass or attach any
metal parts to it. This may cause poor
reception or noise. •
When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window antenna.
Lightly wipe along the antenna with a
dampened sof t cloth.

AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that
could affect the vehicle interior. If you
use an air freshener, take the following
precautions:
• Hanging-type air fresheners can causepermanent discoloration when they con-
tact vehicle interior surfaces. Place the air
freshener in a location that allows it to
hang free and not contact an interior
surface.
• Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the vents. These products can cause im-
mediate damage and discoloration
when spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufactur-
er's instructions before using the air
fresheners.
POWER MOONROOF (if so equipped)
The sunshade is made from a tricot
material.
CAUTION
To help prevent damaging the moon-
roof while cleaning:
• Do not rub the material with a cloth.
Doing so can damage the surface of
the material or cause a stain to
spread.
• Never use benzine, thinner or any
similar chemical to clean the sun-
shade. This may discolor the moon-
roof and damage the surface.
• Clean water based stains by patting
the surface with a clean sof t cloth
dampened in warm water. Press a
clean dry cloth onto the surface to
remove as much dampness as pos-
sible and then let air dry.
• Clean oil based stains by patting the
surface with a clean sof t cloth damp-
ened in warm water. Press a clean dry
cloth onto the surface to remove as
much dampness as possible and
then let air dry.
FLOOR MATS (if so equipped)
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference
that may result in a collision, injury or
death:
• NEVER place a floor mat on top of
another floor mat in the driver front
position or install them upside down
or backwards.
• Use only Genuine NISSAN floor mats,
or equivalent floor mats, that are
specifically designed for use in your
vehicle model and model year.
