WARNING
•Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal inju-
ries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up. It is
recommended that you use the outside air
mode in cold weather to keep the windows
clear.

•Do not adjust the positioning of the heating/
ventilation or air conditioning controls while
driving.
NOTE
•The air conditioner cooling function operates
only when the engine is running, and the am-
bient temperature is above -2°C (28°F).
•The air conditioner can be used to dehumidify
when heating, or to reduce air temperature
and dehumidify when cooling. This is possible
in both auto or manual control mode as long
as the fan speed is at minimum (first bar) or
higher.
•When the AUTO mode is selected, the tem-
perature of the passenger compartment will
be maintained automatically. Air flow distribu-
tion and fan speed will also be controlled au-
tomatically.
Controls
NOTE
Before any selection or change is made, press
the AUTO button to activate the heater and air
conditioner system.
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating (AUTO
mode):
This mode may be used all year round. The system
works automatically to control the inside tempera-
ture, air flow distribution and fan speed after the
preferred temperature is set manually.1. Press the AUTO button (the indicator light will
illuminate).
2. Operate the driver’s side temperature control dial
to set the desired temperature.
Adjust the temperature to about 22°C (72°F) for
normal operation.
3. Driver’s side and passenger side temperatures
can be set independently using the individual
temperature control dial. When the passenger
side temperature control dial is turned, the DUAL
indicator light will come on. To turn off the pas-
senger side temperature control, press the DUAL
button.
NOTE
•A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly, this is not a malfunction.
Heating (AUTO mode):
Use this mode for heating purposes only.
1. Press the A/C button to turn off the air condi-
tioner cooling function (A/C indicator light goes
off).
2. Select the desired temperature with the tempera-
ture control dial.
•Do not set the temperature at a lower level than
the one of the outside air temperature. Other-
wise the system may not work properly.
•This mode is not recommended if the windscreen
fogs up.Airflow control buttons:
Use these buttons to manually select the air flow
form these outlets as described below:
: Air flows mainly from the windscreen defog-
ger outlets.
: Air flows from centre and side vents.
: Air flows mainly from floor outlets.

speed and temperature.
Fan speed control
m(Manual mode):
Press the fan speed control buttons to adjust the fan
speed.
Press the AUTO button to change the fan speed to
automatic mode.
Air recirculation:
Use this mode to recirculate interior air inside the

ing on a dust raised road, avoiding traffic fumes or
having maximum cooling from the air conditioner.
Press the<
>button to recirculate interior air.
The indicator light illuminates and the air conditioner
will automatically come on.
When the air recirculation mode is switched off, out-
side air is drawn into the passenger compartment.

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.
•When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the airflow from the
floor outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature has warmed up,
the airflow from the floor outlets will operate nor-
mally.
•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.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system in your NISSAN vehicle
is charged with an environmentally friendly refriger-
ant.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
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
“Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.

Battery (Type A)
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be be-
tween the UPPERj1 and LOWERj2 level lines.
If it is necessary to add fluid, add only distilled water
to bring the level to the indicator in each filler open-
ing.Do not overfill.
1. Remove the cell plugs
jA using a suitable tool.
j1OK
j2ADD
2. Add distilled water up to the UPPER level line
j1.
If the side of the battery is not clear, check the
electrolyte water level by looking directly above
the cell, as illustrated.
3. Tighten cell plugs.
CAUTION
Do not overfill battery cells. Excessive electrolyte
may leak out of the battery during charging, and
cause paint damage.
Maintenance free battery (Type B)
For a maintenance free battery it is not required to
check the fluid level. However, NISSAN recom-
mends to visually check the green indicator
jA sta-
tus periodically. If it is not visible, replace the battery
as soon as possible.
Reinitialisation procedure after battery
reconnection
If the battery has been reconnected, check the fol-
lowing items:
•Clock setting (where fitted). For details, see “Ve-
hicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section, or the separately provided
NissanConnect Owner’s Manual, or the audio
device descriptions in “FM AM radio with CD
player (where fitted)” in the “4. Display screen,
heater and air conditioner, and audio system”
section.
•Reset the desired radio stations to the preset
station buttons. For details, see the audio device
descriptions in the “4. Heater and air conditioner,
and audio system”.
Models with Stop/Start System
•Ensure that the battery fitted is the special bat-
tery that is enhanced with regard to the charge-
discharge capacity and life performance. Avoid
using any other battery for the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, as this may cause early deterioration of the
battery or a malfunction of the Stop/Start Sys-
tem. It is recommended that a Genuine NISSAN
battery is fitted. For more information, contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
•If the battery terminal is disconnected (for bat-
tery replacement, etc.) and then reconnected,
there may be some delay before the Stop/Start
System reactivates.
