CAUTION
.If the gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature is near the hot
(H) end of the normal range, reduce
vehicle speed to decrease the tem-
perature.
.If the gauge is over the normal
range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible and let the engine
idle.
.If the engine is overheated, contin-
ued operation of the vehicle may
seriously damage the engine. (See
“If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-11)
for immediate action required.)

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel
level in the tank when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, accelerating, or going up and down hills
due to movement of fuel in the tank.
The low fuel warning
appears on the vehicle
information display when the fuel level in the tank
is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the gauge reads 0 (empty) .
The arrow,
, indicates the location of the
fuel-filler door.Refuel before the gauge reads the empty
(0) position.
There is a small reserve of fuel in the tank when
the fuel gauge reads the empty (0) position.
CAUTION
.If the vehicle runs out of fuel, themalfunction indicator light (MIL)
may come on. Refuel as soon as
possible. After a few driving trips,
the
light should turn off. If the
light remains on after a few driving
trips, have the vehicle inspected. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
.For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
(P.2-16) .

4-34Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
defog the windshield. The air recirculation mode
automatically turns off, allowing outside air to be
drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.
The air conditioner is always on in front defroster
or
mode, regardless of whether the
indicator light is on or off.
NOTE:
.The air conditioner system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps
prevent damage to the air conditioner
system due to the lack of lubrication.
.A visible mist may be seen coming
from the ventilators in hot, humid
conditions as the air is cooled rapidly.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
.If the engine coolant temperature be-
comes too high, the air recirculation
mode will be activated and the indica-
tor light will come on automatically.
.If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. (See“If your
vehicle overheats”(P.6-11) .)

equipped)
When the remote engine start function is
activated, the vehicles equipped with the auto-
matic air conditioner and heater may go into
automatic heating or cooling mode depending
on the outside and cabin temperatures. During
this period, the display and the buttons will be
inoperable until the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position. When the temperature is low,the rear defroster and the heated steering wheel
(if so equipped) may also be activated auto-
matically with the activation of the remote engine
start function. (See “Remote engine start” (P.3-
22) .)

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is not a
malfunction. After the coolant temperature
warms up, air flow from the foot outlets will
operate normally.
The sensors
*1and*2, located on the
instrument panel, help maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or around
the sensors.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’sozone layer.However, it may contribute in a
small part to global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your vehicle’s air con-
ditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to the air
conditioner system. (See “Air conditioning sys-
tem refrigerant and lubricant recommendations”
(P.10-6) .)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
In-cabin microfilter
The air conditioner system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter. To make sure the air condi-
tioner heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently,
replace the filter according the specified main-
tenance intervals listed in the "9. Maintenance
and schedules" section. It is recommended to
visit a NISSAN dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air condi-
tioner.

FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the
key hole, or use the Intelligent Key system or the
remote keyless entry key fob.
ANTI-FREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
outside temperature will drop below 328F(08C) ,
check the anti-freeze to assure proper winter
protection. For additional information, see “En-
gine cooling system” (P.8-4) .
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the battery
fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To
maintain maximum efficiency, the battery should
be checked regularly. For additional information,
see “Battery” (P.8-11) .
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-
freeze, drain the cooling system, including the
engine block. Refill before operating the vehicle.
For details, see “Engine cooling system” (P.8-4) .
TIRE EQUIPMENT
SUMMER tires have a tread designed to provide
superior performance on dry pavement. How-
ever, the performance of these tires will be
substantially reduced in snowy and icy condi-
tions. If you operate your vehicle on snowy or icy
roads, NISSAN recommends the use of MUD &
SNOW or ALL SEASON tires on all four wheels.
It is recommended you consult a NISSAN dealer
for the tire type, size, speed rating and
availability information.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded
tires may be used. However, some U.S. states
and Canadian provinces prohibit their use.
Check local, state and provincial laws before
installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.
Tire chains may be used. For details, see “Tire
chains” (P.8-36) of this manual.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) model
If you install snow tires, they must also be the
same size, brand, construction and tread pattern
on all four wheels.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:
.A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove
ice and snow from the windows and wiper
blades.
.A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the
jack to give it firm support.
.A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow-
drifts.
.Extra window washer fluid to refill the
reservoir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
.Wet ice (328F, 08C and freezing rain) ,
very cold snow or ice can be slick
and very hard to drive on. The
vehicle will have much less traction
or“grip”under these conditions. Try
to avoid driving on wet ice until the
road is salted or sanded.
.Whatever the condition, drive with
caution. Accelerate and slow down
with care. If accelerating or down-
shifting too fast, the drive wheels
will lose even more traction.
COLD WEATHER DRIVING

7. Start the engine of the booster vehicle*B
and let it run for a few minutes.
8. Keep the engine speed of the booster
vehicle
*Bat about 2,000 rpm, and start
the engine of the vehicle
*Abeing jump
started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor engaged
for more than 10 seconds. If the engine
does not start right away, place the
ignition switch in the OFF position and
wait 10 seconds before trying again.
9. After starting your engine, carefully discon-
nect the negative cable and then the positive
cable (
*4?*3?*2?*1).
10. Replace the vent caps (if so equipped) . Be
sure to dispose of the cloth used to cover
the vent holes as it may be contaminated
with corrosive acid.Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing.
CAUTION
.Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models cannot be push-
started or tow-started. Attempting
to do so may cause transmission
damage.
.Three-way catalyst equipped mod-
els should not be started by pushing
since the three way catalyst may be
damaged.
.Never try to start the vehicle by
towing it; when the engine starts,
the forward surge could cause the
vehicle to collide with the tow
vehicle.
WARNING
.Never continue driving if your vehi-
cle overheats. Doing so could cause
a vehicle fire.
.Never open the hood if steam is
coming out.
.Never remove the radiator or cool-
ant reservoir cap while the engine is
hot. If the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap is removed when the engine
is hot, pressurized hot water will
spurt out and possibly cause burn-
ing, scalding or serious injury.
.If steam or coolant is coming from
the engine, stand clear of the vehi-
cle to prevent getting burned.
.The engine cooling fan will start at
anytime when the coolant tempera-
ture exceeds preset degrees.
.Be careful not to allow your hands,
hair, jewelry or clothing to come into
contact with, or to get caught in the
cooling fan or drive belts.
If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an
extremely high temperature gauge reading) , or if
