Climate controlled seat switches
(if so equipped)
For additional information, see “Climate
controlled seat switches” (P. 2-90).
OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the top driver's
side of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put
anything on or around this sensor.
• When the climate system is in automaticoperation and the engine coolant tem-
perature and outside air temperature are
low, the air flow outlet may default to de-
froster mode for a maximum of 2 min-
utes 30 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion. Af ter the engine coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow outlet
will return to foot mode and operation will
continue normally. • When the outside and interior cabin tem-
peratures are moderate to high, the in-
take setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may occur
when the previous climate setting was
turned off. This is not a malfunction. Af ter
the initial warm air is expelled, the intake
will return to automatic control, the air
flow outlet will return to previous settings,
and operation will continue normally. To
exit, press any climate control button.
• Keep the moonroof (if so equipped) closed while the air conditioner is in
operation.
• If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is coming
out do not match, select themode.
• When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the foot outlets for
just a moment. This is not a malfunction.

•Heated 2nd row seat switches (if so
equipped) For additional information,
see “Heated 2nd row seat switches”
(P. 2-92).
• ON-OFF button Turns rear automatic air
conditioning system on and off.
• Air flow control buttons controls air flow
and selects the air outlet.
• AUTO button Turns rear automatic air
conditioning system on, AUTO mode on. 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, see “Air conditioner system re-
frigerant and oil recommendations”
(P. 10-8).
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly ” air conditioner 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 an experi-
enced technician with proper
equipment.
ROOF MOUNTED ANTENNA
The antenna is located on the rear part of
the vehicle roof.
CAUTION
• A build-up of ice on the antenna can
affect radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore radio reception.
• When removing snow from the roof,
do not apply strong force to the an-
tenna. That may cause broken an-
tenna and roof panel dent.
• When using a high pressure car wash,
keep the high pressure nozzle away
from the antenna. The seal may be
deformed or damaged.
• The radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof
blocks the radio signal. If possible, do
not put cargo near the antenna.

AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that
could affect the vehicle interior. If you use
an air freshener, take the following
precautions:
• Hanging-type air fresheners can causepermanent discoloration when they con-
tact vehicle interior surfaces. Place the air
freshener in a location that allows it to
hang free and not contact an interior
surface.
• Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the vents. These products can cause im-
mediate damage and discoloration
when spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufactur-
er's instructions before using the air
fresheners.
POWER MOONROOF (if so
equipped)
The sunshade is made from a tricot
material.
CAUTION
To help prevent damaging the moon-
roof while cleaning:
• Do not rub the material with a cloth.
Doing so can damage the surface of
the material or cause a stain to
spread.
• Never use benzine, thinner or any
similar chemical to clean the sun-
shade. This may discolor the moon-
roof and damage the surface.
• Clean water based stains by patting
the surface with a clean sof t cloth
dampened in warm water. Press a
clean dry cloth onto the surface to
remove as much dampness as pos-
sible and then let air dry.
• Clean oil based stains by patting the
surface with a clean sof t cloth damp-
ened in warm water. Press a clean dry
cloth onto the surface to remove as
much dampness as possible and
then let air dry.
FLOOR MATS (if so equipped)
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference
that may result in a collision, injury or
death:
• NEVER place a floor mat on top of
another floor mat in the driver front
position or install them upside down
or backwards.
• Use only Genuine NISSAN floor mats,
or equivalent floor mats, that are
specifically designed for use in your
vehicle model and model year.
