functioning, this light will remain on while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine will not
start, see your NISSAN dealer for NATS service
as soon as possible. Please bring all NATS keys
or NATS Intelligent Keys when visiting your
NISSAN dealer for service.
Additional information for RHD models

Operating tips
In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then close
the windows to allow the acceleration of the air
conditioner’s cooling operation.
Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.
Quick reference charts
The following charts show the button, air intake and
dial positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK heating,
cooling or defrosting. NOTE
The air recirculation mode should not be selected
for either heating or defrosting.

Air conditioner filter
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. To replace the fil-
ter, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily while operating the heater or air condition-
ing system.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system in your NISSAN vehicle
is charged with an environmentally friendly refriger-
ant.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing the NISSAN air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system. See
“Air conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations (where fitted)” in the “9. Techni-
cal information” section.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.
WARNING
Do not adjust the audio system while driving.
The audio system operates when the ignition switch
is in the Acc or ON position. If you want to listen to
the radio or CD while the engine is not running, turn
the ignition switch to the Acc position. Do not use
for an extended period of time with the engine
stopped.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
NOTE
Models with NISSAN Connect system, see the
audio operation precautions in the separately
provided NISSAN Connect Owner’s Manual.
Radio
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
are normally caused by these external influences.
Using a mobile phone in or near the vehicle may
influence radio reception quality.
Use the antenna for the best reception.
Compact Disc (CD) player
During cold weather or rainy days, the player
may malfunction due to the humidity. If this
occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or
ventilate the player completely.

Radio data system (RDS) operation
The RDS is a system through which encoded digital
information is transmitted by FM radio station in ad-
dition to the normal FM-radio broadcasting. The
RDS provides information services such as station
name, traffic information and news.
NOTE
In some countries or regions, some of these ser-
vices may not be available.
Alternative Frequency (AF) mode:
The AF mode operates in the FM (radio) mode.
The AF mode operates both in the FM (radio)
and CD mode (if FM was previously selected in
the radio mode).
When AF mode has been set to the “ON” posi-
tion in the user set up menu mode, the [AF] indi-
cator comes on. For activation or deactivation
details, see “MENU button” later in this section.
The AF function compares signal strengths and se-
lects the station with the optimum reception condi-
tions for the currently tuned-in station.

Emergency broadcast interrupt function
(ALARM INTERRUPTION - EBU SPEC FOR
INFO):
When the radio receives PTY code 31 (an emer-
gency broadcast code), the sound is interrupted,
the emergency broadcast is heard, and [ALARM] is
displayed. The volume level at this time is the same
as that for traffic announcements. Once the emer-
gency broadcast is finished, the unit immediately
returns to the previous source.
REG (Regional) mode:
Some local radio stations are linked according to
region because they only offer limited coverage due
a limited number of transmitters. If the signal from
one station of these stations becomes weak while
driving, RDS mode will switch to another local sta-
tion in the region with a stronger signal.
When the REG mode is activated in the FM band
and the radio receiver is tuned to a local radio sta-
tion, it will keep receiving this radio station without
switching to another local station. For activation or
deactivation details, see “MENU button” later in this
section.
