NISSAN MICRA 2018 Owner´s Manual

LHA4670
4-22Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone 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, refer to “Air conditioner sys-
tem (if so equipped) refrigerant and oil rec-
ommendations” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by a NISSAN
dealer.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the
(power) but-
ton / PWR (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 sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, 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 ve-
hicle may influence radio reception qual-
ity.
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 charac-
teristics 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 characteristics
are completely 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 inter-
ference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described 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 device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 40 –
48 km (25 – 30 mi) with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range
than stereo FM. External influences may
sometimes interfere with FM station re-
ception even if the FM station is within
40 km (25 mi). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals fol-
low a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of
the same characteristics as light. For ex-
ample, they will reflect off objects.

Fade and drif t: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drif t.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position (usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter), static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the treble
control to reduce treble response.
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 occurfor several seconds during ionospheric tur-
bulence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

Compact disc (CD) player
CAUTION
∙ Do not force a compact disc into theCD insert slot. This could damage the
CD and/or CD changer/player.
∙ Trying to load a CD with the CD door closed could damage the CD and/or
CD changer.
∙ Only one CD can be loaded into the CD player at a time.
∙ Only use high quality 12 cm (4.7 in)
round discs that have the “COMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc
or packaging.
∙ During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the
humidity. If this occurs, remove the
CD and dehumidif y or ventilate the
player completely.
∙ The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
∙ The CD player sometimes cannot
function when the compartment
temperature is extremely high. De-
crease the temperature before use. ∙
Do not expose the CD to direct sun-
light.
∙ CDs that are in poor condition or are
dirty, scratched or covered with fin-
gerprints may not work properly.
∙ The following CDs may not work
properly:
∙ Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
∙ Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
∙ Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
∙ Do not use the following CDs as they
may cause the CD player to malfunc-
tion:
∙ 8 cm (3.1 in) discs with an adapter
∙ CDs that are not round
∙ CDs with a paper label
∙ CDs that are warped, scratched, or
have abnormal edges
Compact disc with MP3
Terms
∙ MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital
audio file format. This format allows for
near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction
of the size of normal audio files. MP3
conversion of an audio track from CD-
ROM can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio with virtually no per-
ceptible loss in quality. MP3
compression removes the redundant
and irrelevant parts of a sound signal
that the human ear does not hear.
∙ Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits per second used by a digital mu-
sic file. The size and quality of a com-
pressed digital audio file are deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
∙ Sampling frequency — Sampling fre- quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-25

∙ ID3 tag — The ID3 tag is the part of theencoded MP3 file that contains infor-
mation about the digital music file such
as song title, artist, album title, encoding
bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag
information is displayed on the
Album/Artist/Track title line on the dis-
play. Playback order
Playback order of the CD with compressed
files (MP3) is as illustrated.
∙ The names of folders not containing MP3 files are not shown in the display.
∙ If there is a file in the top level of the disc, “ROOT” is displayed.
∙ The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing sof t-
ware; therefore, the files might not play
in the desired order.

Troubleshooting guide
SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player. If there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly af ter it returns to the normal temperature.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and number of characters
for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Bit rate may be too low.
It takes a relatively long
time before the music
starts playing. If there are many folders or file levels on the MP3 disc or if it is a multi disc, some time may be required before the music starts
playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing sof tware and hardware combination might not match or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit
rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Moves immediately to
the next song when
playing When a non-MP3 file has been given an extension of “.MP3” or “.mp3” or when play is prohibited by copyright protection, there will be
approximately 5 seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the next song.
Songs do not play back
in the desired order The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing sof tware. Therefore, the files might not play in the
desired order.
