WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
cDo not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause theinterior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
cPositioning of the heater and air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving, so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) is located at the center of
the instrument panel, below the radio. The
EATC operates only when the ignition is
turned to the ON position.
The EATC maintains the temperature youselect and controls the airflow for your com-
fort. It also allows you to override the auto-
matic operation with manual function selec-
tor buttons.
To turn the EATC on, push either the AU-
TOMATIC button or any of the six function
selector buttons:
,,,,
or MAX. To turn the EATC off, press
the OFF button.
When you select AUTOMATIC, the system
determines fan speed, airflow location and
discharge air temperature. When one of the
function selector buttons is pressed, your
selection determines airflow location only.
Fan speed and discharge air temperature
remain automatic. You can override fan
speed by rotating the vertical thumbwheel
located at the extreme right of the
control panel.
The display window indicates the status of
the system. It shows the selected tempera-
ture and AUTO when in the AUTOMATIC
mode. It also indicates manual (thumb-
wheel) control of the fan speed when a
is shown.

RADIO
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and
press the power on switch to turn on the
radio. If you listen to the radio with the
engine not running, the key should be
turned to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a mov-
ing vehicle, even when the finest equipment
is used. These characteristics are com-pletely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antennaposition, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can
be reduced by adjusting the treble control
counterclockwise to reduce treble re-
sponse.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics.
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

six strong stations are then stored in order
in memory buttons one through six for each
band (AM, FM1, and FM2).
SEEK tuning
Push the SEEKorbuttons to find the
next broadcast station. Pushing the
SEEKS up andbutton SEEKS down.

RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS stands for Radio Data System, and is
a data information service transmitted by
some radio stations on the FM band (not
AM band) encoded within a regular radio
broadcast. Most RDS stations are currently
in large cities, but many stations are now
considering broadcasting RDS data.
RDS can display:
cStation name or call-sign, such as
``WHFR 98.3''.cMusic or programming type such as
``Classical'', ``Country'', or ``Rock''.
cTraffic reports about delays or construc-
tion.
Using RDS
To turn RDS on push the RDS/CLK button
until RDS OFF is displayed, then press the
SEL button until RDS ON is displayed.
To change display type turn RDS ON then
use the SEL button to choose between:
cSHOW TYPE - Music or program type.
cSHOW NAME - Station name or call-
sign.
cSHOW NONE - No text display.
To choose traffic reports press the
RDS/CLK button until TRAFFIC OFF is dis-
played, the use then SEL button to choose
TRAFFIC ON, then use the seek or scan
control to look for a station that may transmit
traffic reports, the radio will display a
``TRAF'' icon to show it is in traffic mode and
tuned to a station that may transmit traffic
reports. If the radio searches through the
whole band and then returns to the previous
station it was originally playing there are nostations in the area that are transmitting
traffic reports.
If a cassette or compact disc is being played
while the traffic option is on and the station
previously tuned into displays a traffic bul-
letin the radio will pause the cassette or
compact disc and broadcast the bulletin,
then resume playing the cassette or com-
pact disc.
Using RDS to search for programming type
Certain areas have a limited number of
stations that transmit RDS. Many stations
transmit call letters and frequencies only.
Searching or scanning by program type
may yield a limited number of selections.
Press the RDS/CLK button until FIND
CLASSIC is displayed, then use the SEL
button to choose between CLASSIC,
COUNTRY, INFO, JAZZ, OLDIES, R&B,
RELIGUS (Religious), ROCK, SOFT and
TOP40. When you have chosen a program
type, use the SEEK, SCAN, or AUTOSET
controls to look for a station transmitting that
kind of program. If the radio searches
through the whole band and then returns to
the previous station it was originally playing
there are no stations in the area that are
