ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture.
The engine coolant temperature is nor-
mal when the gauge needle points within
the zone
shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature will vary
with the outside air temperature and
driving conditions.
Instruments and controls2-7

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 temperature.
. 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, con-
tinued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the en-
gine. (See “If your vehicle over-
heats” (P.6-16) for immediate
action required.)
JVI0640X
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 recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
. For additional information, see
“Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” (P.2-16).

4-30Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
selected, the air conditioner automatically
turns on if the outside temperature is
more than 36°F (2°C). This dehumidifies
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.6-16).)

4-32Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
maximum levels.
. After the windshield is cleared, push
the AUTO button (the AUTO indicator
light will turn on).
. When the front defroster
button is
pushed, the air conditioner will turn on
when the outside air temperature is
above approximately 36°F (2°C) to
defog the windshield. The air recircu-
lation mode will automatically turn off.
The outside air circulation mode will
be selected to improve the defogging
performance.
Do not set the temperature too low when
the front defroster mode is on (the
indicator light is illuminated), because
doing so may fog up the windshield.
Manual operation
The manual mode can be used to control
the heater and air conditioner to your
desired settings.
Fan speed control:
Push the fan speed control button (
side orside) to manually control the
fan speed.
Push the AUTO button to change the fan
speed to the automatic mode.
Air flow control:
Push the MODE button to select the
desired mode:
— Air flows mainly from the center and
side ventilators.
— Air flows mainly from the center andside ventilators and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from the foot outletand partly from the defroster.
— Air flows mainly from the frontdefroster outlets and foot outlets.
Temperature control:
Turn the temperature control dial to set
the desired temperature.
.When the DUAL indicator light is not
illuminated, pushing the DUAL button
(the indicator light will turn on) allows
the user to independently change the
driver and passenger side tempera-
tures with the corresponding tem-
perature control dial.
Also turning the passenger’s side
temperature control dial changes only
the front passenger’s side tempera-
ture. (The DUAL indicator light will
illuminate and DUAL will appear on
the display.)
. To cancel the separate temperature
setting, push the DUAL button (the
indicator light will turn off) and the
driver’s side temperature setting will
be applied to both the driver and
passenger sides. Air intake control:
. Push the air recirculation
button
to recirculate interior air inside the
vehicle. The indicator light on the
button will come on.
The air recirculation cannot be acti-
vated when the air conditioner is in
the front defrosting mode.
. Push the outside air circulation
button to draw outside air into the
passenger compartment. The indica-
tor light on the button will come on.
. To control the air intake automatically,
push and hold either the air recircula-
tion
button or the outside air
circulationbutton (whichever but-
ton with the indicator light illumi-
nated). The indicator lights (both air
recirculation
and outside air cir-
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.
To turn the system off:
To turn off the heater and air conditioner,
push the ON·OFF button.
Push the ON·OFF button again, the sys-
tem will turn on in the mode which was
used immediately before the system was
turned off.
Remote engine start logic (if so
equipped)
When the remote engine start function is
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 may

apply additional paint near the sonar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the sonar sensors. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer if the area
around the sonar sensors is damaged
due to a collision.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
32°F (0°C), check the anti-freeze to assure
proper winter protection. For additional
information, see “Engine 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. However, the performance of
these tires will be substantially reduced in
snowy and icy conditions. 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.

7. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and let it run for a few minutes.
8. Keep the engine speed of the booster vehicle
at about 2,000 rpm, and
start the engine of the vehiclebeing
jump started.
CAUTION
Do not keep the starter motor en-
gaged 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 disconnect the negative cable and
then the positive cable (
???).
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 Transmis-
sion (CVT) models cannot be
push-started or tow-started. At-
tempting to do so may cause
transmission damage.
. Three-way catalyst equipped
models should not be started by
pushing since the three way cat-
alyst 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
vehicle overheats. Doing so could
cause a vehicle fire.
. Never open the hood if steam is
coming out.
. Never remove the radiator or
coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is hot. If the radiator or
coolant reservoir cap is removed
when the engine is hot, pressur-
ized hot water will spurt out and
possibly cause burning, scalding
or serious injury.
. If steam or coolant is coming
from the engine, stand clear of
the vehicle to prevent getting
burned.
. The engine cooling fan will start
at anytime when the coolant
temperature exceeds preset de-
grees.
. 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.
