The antenna will automatically extend when
the radio is turned on, and retract when
switched off. If the radio is left on, the antenna
will retract and extend with the ignition key
ªOFF-ONº operation.
IBefore turning the radio on, make
sure that there is no one near the
antenna outlet and there is enough
space for it to extend.
ITo prevent damage, be sure that an-
tenna is fully retracted before the
vehicle enters an automated car
wash.
IDirt and other foreign matter on the
power antenna rod may interrupt its
operation. Clean the rod periodically
with a damp cloth. This type of clean-
ing is especially important during the
winter seasons in areas where road
salt and other chemicals may be
spread on road surfaces and
splashed onto the antenna rod.
The antenna cannot be shortened but can be
removed.
Turn its root counterclockwise to remove the
antenna.
Be sure to remove the antenna before
washing the vehicle in an automatic car
washing machine, or the antenna may
be damaged.
When installing large capacity wireless equip-
ment or a car phone in your NISSAN, be sure
to observe the following as it may adversely
affect the Multiport fuel injection system and
other electronic parts depending on its instal-
lation location.
IKeep the antenna as far as possible
away from the Electric Control Mod-
ule.
IAlso keep the antenna wire more than
8 inches (20 cm) away from the Elec-
tro Injection harness. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.
IAdjust the antenna standing-wave ra-
tio as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
IConnect the ground wire from the
radio chassis to the body.
IFor details, consult a NISSAN dealer.

Removing spots
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, in-
sects and tree sap as quickly as possible from
the surface of the paint to avoid lasting dam-
age or staining. Special cleaning products are
available at your NISSAN dealer or any auto-
motive accessories store.
Underbody
In areas where road salt is used in winter, it is
necessary to clean the underbody regularly in
order to prevent dirt and salt from building up
and causing corrosion on the underbody and
suspension. Before the winter period and
again in the spring, the underseal must be
checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
Cleaning glass
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust
film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for
glass to be coated with a film after the vehicle
is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a
soft cloth will easily remove this film.
IWhen cleaning the inside of the win-
dow, do not use any sharp-edged
tools or abrasive cleaners or
chlorine-based disinfectant cleaners.
IThese may damage the electrical con-
ductors, radio antenna elements or
rear window defogger elements.
Cleaning alloy wheels
Wash regularly, especially during winter
months in areas where road salt is used. Salt
could discolor the wheel if not removed.
Chrome parts
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.
Plastic parts
Plastic parts can be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. If the dirt cannot be easily removed,
use a plastic cleaner. Do not use any solvents.
Cleaning interior
Occasionally remove loose dust from the inte-
rior trim and seats using a vacuum cleaner or
soft brush. Wipe the vinyl and leather surfaces
with a clean, soft cloth dampened in mild soap
solution, then wipe clean with a dry soft cloth.
Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer's recommendations. Some fab-
ric protectors contains chemicals that stain or
bleach the seat material.
