the air which helps 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 perfor-
mance.
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 ra-
pidly. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
. If the engine coolant temperature
becomes too high, the air recircula-
tion mode will be activated and the
indicator light will come on automa-
tically.
. 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).)

culationbuttons) will flash twice,
and then the air intake will switch to
automatic control. When the auto-
matic control is set, the system auto-
matically alternates between the
outside air circulation and the air
recirculation modes. (The indicator
light of the active mode will turn on.)
NOTE:
Even if the system is manually set to the
air recirculation mode, when both out-
side temperature and coolant tempera-
ture are low, the system may automatically switch to the outside air
circulation mode.

activated, the vehicles equipped with the
automatic 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 re-
mote engine start function. (See “Remote
engine start” (P.3-23).)

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
and, located on the
instrument panel, help maintain a con-
stant 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’s ozone layer. However, it maycontribute in a small part to global
warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your vehicle’s
air conditioner. Using improper refriger-
ants or lubricants will cause severe da-
mage to the air conditioner system. (See
“Air conditioning system refrigerant and
lubricant recommendations” (P.10-6).)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioner system.
In-cabin microfilter
The air conditioner system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and
ventilates efficiently, replace the filter
according the specified maintenance in-
tervals 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
conditioner.SAA2374

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the BSW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate BSW
when certain objects are present
such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle. — A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
— When overtaking several vehi- cles in a row, the vehicles after
the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling
close together.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard
lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles: — Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

— Illustration: When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs
the beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration
: When the vehi-
cle is parked in an angled
parking space.
— Illustration
: When the vehi-
cle is parked on inclined
ground.
— Illustration
: When an ap-
proaching vehicle turns into
your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration
: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and
approaching vehicle is small
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles .
Excessive noise (e.g. audio sys-
tem volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the

5-136Starting and driving
— The vehicle is driven in badweather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
— The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
— The vehicle’s posture is chan- ged (e.g., when driving over a
bump).
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
— The vehicle is turned sharply by turning the steering wheel
fully.
— Snow chains are used.
— Wheels or tires other than NISSAN recommended are
used.
— The brakes are cold at low ambient temperatures or im-
mediately after driving has
started.
— The braking force becomes poor due to wet brakes after
driving through a puddle or
washing the vehicle.
. Turn the RAB system off in the
following conditions to prevent
the occurrence of an unexpected
accident resulting from sudden
system operation: — The vehicle is towed.
— The vehicle is carried on a
flatbed truck.
— The vehicle is on the chassis dynamometer.
— The vehicle drives on an un- even road surface.
— Suspension parts other than those designated as genuine
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body
inclination is changed, the
system may not detect an
obstacle correctly.)
. Excessive noise (e.g., audio sys-
tem volume, an open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the RAB system
warning light will illuminate, and the
“Malfunction” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light illuminates, park the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the engine
off, and restart the engine. If the warning
light continues to illuminate, have the
RAB system checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
NOTE:
If the RAB system cannot be operated
temporarily, the RAB system warning
light blinks.

other maneuvers. Always look
around and check that it is safe
to do so before parking.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the RSS as contained in
this section. The colors of the
sonar indicator and the distance
guide lines in the rear view in-
dicate different distances to the
object.
. Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may
affect the function of the system;
this may include reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
. The RSS is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large sta-
tionary objects to help avoid da-
maging the vehicle.
. The RSS is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or mov-
ing objects. Always move slowly.
The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and
may not detect objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
. The RSS may not detect the
following objects: fluffy objects
such as snow, cloth, cotton, glass, wool, etc.; thin objects such as
rope, wire and chain, etc.; or
wedge-shaped objects.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
. Excessive noise (such as audio
system volume or an open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
tone and it may not be heard.
. Keep the sonar sensors (located
on the rear bumper fascia) free
from snow, ice and large accu-
mulations of dirt. Do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects. If the
sensors are covered, the accuracy
of the sonar function will be
diminished.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The system informs with a visual and
audible alert of rear obstacles when the
shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.

The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3
seconds when an obstacle is detected by
only the corner sensor and the distance
does not change. The tone will stop when
the obstacle gets away from the vehicle.
When the object is detected, the indicator
