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. For filter replace-
ment, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily during air conditioning system operation.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system (where fitted) in your
NISSAN vehicle is charged with an environmentally
friendly refrigerant.
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s 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 of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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. This will allow the acceleration of
the air conditioner’s cooling operation.
Keep windows closed while the air conditioner 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.
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.

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.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
NISSAN GREEN PROGRAM
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil.
Use authorised waste collection facilities, including
civic amenity sites and garages providing facilities
for the disposal of used oil and used oil filters. If in
doubt, contact your local authority for advice on dis-
posal.
The regulations concerning the pollution of the
environment will vary from country to country.
DRAINING WATER
Drain the water from the fuel filter:
– Every time you perform an engine oil change.
– When the water in fuel filter warning light
(orange) comes on or flashes irregularly.
Except for models with R9M diesel engine.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect a suitable drain hose
j1 to the drain
plugj2.
2. Place a drain pan
j3 under the hosej1.
3. Loosen manually the drain plug
j2 with4to5
turns and operate the priming pumpj4 to drain
the water out of the fuel filter.
CAUTION
The water from the fuel filter is drained
with fuel. Prepare a larger capacity pan
than the volume of the fuel filter.
Drained water is mixed with fuel and take
precautions to prevent the fuel from ad-
hering to rubber parts such as engine
mounting insulator.
4. After draining, close the drain plug manually. CAUTION
If the drain plug is tightened excessively, it
can be damaged and as a result, fuel will
leak.
Do not use tools to tighten the drain plug.
5. Bleed air from the fuel system. For details, see “Bleeding the fuel system” later in this section.
6. Start the engine and make sure there is no fuel leakage. Correct as required.
For models with R9M diesel engine
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

LOCK position. Otherwise the cooling fan or the
engine may start to operate suddenly.
1. Visually inspect each belt for signs of unusual wear, cuts, fraying or looseness. If the belt is in
poor condition or loose, have it replaced or ad-
justed by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
2. Have the belts checked regularly for condition and tension in accordance with the maintenance
schedule as shown in a separately provided War-
ranty Information and Maintenance booklet.WARNING
Be sure the engine and ignition switch are off
and that the handbrake is engaged securely.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the correct socket to remove
the spark plugs. An incorrect socket can
cause damage to the spark plugs.
Always replace spark plugs with recom-
mended or equivalent ones.
Replace spark plugs according to the maintenance
schedule shown in the separately provided War-
ranty Information & Maintenance Booklet.
If replacement is required, see a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop for servicing.
WARNING
Operating the engine without the air cleaner
filter, can cause you or others to be burned.
The air cleaner filter not only cleans the intake
air, it also stops flame if the engine backfires.
If the air cleaner filter is not installed and the
engine backfires, you could be burned.
Do not drive without the air cleaner filter.
