WARNING
The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.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. Do not leave children or
adults who would normally require
the support of others alone in your
vehicle. Unattended pets should not
be left alone either.
Using the recirculation mode for long
periods may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fogup.
Changing heating or air conditioning
controls should not be done while

When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side 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, the air
flow from the foot outlets will operate normally.The sensor
1
on the instrument panel helps
maintain a constant temperature; do not put
anything on or around this sensor.
In-cabin microfilterThe air conditioning system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the
filter according to the specified maintenance
intervals listed in your Service and Maintenance
Guide. To replace the filter, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow

decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioning system.The air conditioning system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.This refrigerant
will not harm the earth’s ozone layer.How-
ever, special charging equipment and lubricants
are required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to your air
conditioning system. See “Capacities and rec-
ommended fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical
and consumer information” section for air con-
ditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper equip-
ment.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Cassette playerTo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
Cassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and
away from direct sunlight, heat, dust,
moisture and magnetic sources.
Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.
Do not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label
could jam in the player.
If a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly around the
hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.
Over a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may col-
lect a tape coating residue as the tape is
played. This residue accumulation can
cause weak or wavering sound, and

should be removed periodically with a
head cleaning tape. If the residue is not
removed periodically, the player may
need to be disassembled for cleaning.
Compact Disc (CD) playerOnly use high quality 12 cm (4.7 inches)
round discs that have the “COMPACT
disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or
packaging.During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the hu-
midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and
dehumidify or ventilate the player com-
pletely.
The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
The CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the passenger compartment
temperature is extremely high. De-
crease the temperature before use.
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
CDs that are of poor quality, dirty,
scratched, covered with fingerprints, or
that have pin holes may not work prop-
erly.
The following CDs may not work prop-
erly:
•Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
•Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
•Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
Do not use the following CDs as they
may cause the CD player to malfunction.
•8 cm (3.1 in) discs even with an
adapter

Radio receptionRadio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external in-
fluences. Intermittent changes in reception qual-
ity normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio recep-
tion. These circuits are designed to extend re-
ception range, and to enhance the quality of that
reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio
reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when
the finest equipment is used. These character-
istics are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system.
Remember that a moving vehicle is not the ideal
place to listen to a radio. Because of the move-ment, reception conditions will constantly
change. 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 40 to 48
km (25 to 30 miles), 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 40 km (25 miles). 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
