climate control NISSAN NV PASSENGER VAN 2016 User Guide

The air flow from the floor vents located beneath
the second and third row passenger’s seats can-
not be adjusted or closed. These vents are only
operational when the rear fan speed control dial
is at a setting other than 0 and the rear tempera-
ture control dial is at a setting other than cold.
For additional information, refer to “Rear seat air
conditioner” in this section.
WARNING
●The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
● Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
● Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up. NOTE:
● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.

Operating tips
●Keep the windows closed while the air con-
ditioner is in operation.
● After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 min-
utes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then,
close the windows. This allows the air con-
ditioner to cool the interior more quickly.
● The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and dial
positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK heating,
cooling or defrosting. For additional information
on heating and cooling, refer to “Heater and air
conditioner” in this section. The air recircula-
tion (
) mode should always be OFF for
heating and defrosting.

Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
1. Press the defroster control switchto
turn the system on. The indicator light in the
button will illuminate.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the left or right to set the desired temperature.
● To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, turn the manual fan control to the

As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the auto mode.
● When the
control is activated, the air
conditioner will automatically be turned on at
outside temperatures above 36°F (2°C) . If in
defrost mode for more than 1 minute, the air
conditioning system will continue to operate
until the fan control is turned OFF, the ve-
hicle is shut off or the A/C button is used to
turn off the compressor even if an air flow
button other than
is selected. This
dehumidifies the air which helps defog the

Air flow control
Press the air flow control buttons to manually
control air flow and select the air outlet:
— Air flows from center and sidevents.
— Air flows from center and sidevents and front floor outlets.
— Air flows mainly from the frontfloor outlets and the vents located
beneath the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat.
— Air flows from defroster and flooroutlets.
— Air flows from defroster outlets.For additional information, refer to “Rear seat air
conditioner” in this section.
To turn system off
Press the(system OFF) button.
OPERATING TIPS
●When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally. The sunload sensor, located on the top of the
instrument panel on the driver’s side
1, helps
the system maintain a constant temperature. Do
not put anything on or around this sensor.
REAR SEAT AIR CONDITIONER
To operate the rear air conditioner, the engine
must be running.
If the rear seat fan control dial is set to (0) , the air
conditioner is turned off. If it is set to any of the fan
speed positions, air is discharged from the rear
vents at the corresponding speed.

When the temperature control dial is turned all
the way to the cold setting, the air flows only from
the ceiling vents. When the temperature control
dial is turned all the way to the hot setting, the air
flows only from the floor vents beneath the sec-
ond and third row of seats. When the tempera-
ture control dial is turned to a point between the
coldest and hottest settings, the air flows from
both the floor and ceiling vents.The air conditioner system in your NISSAN ve-
hicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is re-
quired when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants
will cause severe damage to your air conditioner
system. For additional information, refer to “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and oil recommen-
dations” in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer is able to service your “environ-
mentally friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the PWR (power) button/VOL
(volume) knob 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 signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. 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 enhance ra-
dio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-
ity of that reception.
However, there are some general characteristics
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 char-
acteristics are completely normal in a given re-
ception area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.
