climate control NISSAN MAXIMA PLATINUM 2018 Owners Manual

CAUTION
∙ The battery could run down if theclimate-controlled seat is operated
while the engine is not running.
∙ Do not use the climate-controlled seat for extended periods or when no
one is using the seat.
∙ Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise,
the seat may become overheated.
∙ Do not place anything hard or heavy on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar objects. This may result in
damage to the climate-controlled
seat.
∙ Any liquid spilled on the seat should be removed immediately with a dry
cloth
∙ The climate-controlled seat has an air filter. Do not operate the climate-
controlled seat without an air filter.
This may result in damage to the
system.
∙ When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any
similar materials. ∙ If any malfunctions are found or the
climate-controlled seat does not op-
erate, turn the switch off and have the
system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
The front seats are warmed by built-in
heaters.1. Start the engine.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, as desired. The indicator light in the
switch will illuminate.
The heater is controlled by a thermo-
stat, automatically turning the heater
on and off. The indicator light will re-
main on as long as the switch is on.
3. When the seat is warmed or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the
switch off.

DOT (Department of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature
A
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B and C
The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-
sent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pave-ment as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.
