VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the voltmeter indicates the bat-
tery voltage. When the engine is running, it
indicates the generator voltage. To view
the digital gauge in the trip computer press
the INFO knob two times.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop
below the normal range. If the range is not
within the normal range (11 – 15 volts)
1
while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the charging system is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This gauge indicates the temperature of
the automatic transmission fluid. The au-
tomatic transmission fluid temperature is
in the normal range
1when the gauge
indication is within the zone shown in the
illustration. To view the digital gauge in the
trip computer, press the INFO knob three
times.
CAUTION
∙ This gauge is not designed to indicate low automatic transmission fluid
level. Use the dipstick to check the
fluid level. For additional information,
refer to “5-speed Automatic Trans-
mission Fluid (ATF)” and “7–speed Au-
tomatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)” in
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
∙ If the gauge indicates automatic transmission fluid temperature over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. Have the ve-
hicle checked. It is recommended that

Instruments and controls2-41

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 second
and third row of seats. When the tempera-
ture control dial is turned to a point be-
tween the coldest and hottest settings, the
air flows from both the floor and ceiling
vents.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 refrigerant and oil recommendations”
in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
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.
RADIO
With the ignition placed in the ACC or ON po-
sition, press the
(power) or ON•OFF but-
ton to turn the radio on. If you listen to the
radio with the engine not running, the ignition
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 vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
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.

the iPod® can be controlled with the audio
system controls and display screen, use
the USB port located on the instrument
panel
1. Connect the iPod®-specific end of
the cable to the iPod® and the USB end of
the cable to the USB port on the vehicle. If
your iPod® supports charging via a USB
connection, its battery will be charged while connected to the vehicle with the
ignition switch in the ACC or ON position.
While connected to the vehicle, the iPod®
can only be operated by the vehicle audio
controls.
To disconnect the iPod® from the vehicle,
remove the USB end of the cable from the
USB port on the vehicle, then remove the
