tioner indicator light does not illuminateunless illuminated in the previously se-
lected mode. However, the air condi-
tioner operates to dehumidify if the out-
side temperature is more than 40ÉF
(4ÉC), whether or not the A/C button has
been pressed. Manual selection and illu-
mination of the A/C button does not
override the automatic dehumidifying
which occurs when
is selected.
Operating Tips
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of the wind-
shield. This improves defrosting/-
defogging operation.
Bi-level heating/cooling

eration.
cTo defog the side windows more effec-
tively when in bi-level or ventilation
mode, close the center vent and direct
the side vents toward the side windows.
cA slight delay may be experienced when
changing air control buttons. This is not a
problem, it is only the system motors and
solenoids switching from one outlet to
another.

Operating tips
cKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for about ten minutes at
least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cIf the coolant temperature gauge ex-
ceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air
conditioner off. See ``If your vehicle over-
heats'' in the ``In case of emergency''
section for additional information.
Servicing air conditioning
The air conditioning system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a new refrigerant
designed with the environment in mind.
This new refrigerant does not harm the
earth's ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your NISSAN
air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants causes severe damage to yourair conditioning system. See ``Air condition-
ing system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations'' in the ``Technical and con-
sumer information'' section of this manual.
Your NISSAN dealer is able to service your
environmentally ``friendly'' air conditioning
system.

temperature, and theside raises the
set temperature. Press and hold either side
of the button to rapidly change the tempera-
ture setting in one degree increments to
either 65ÉF (18ÉC) or 85ÉF (29ÉC). If you
want continuous maximum cooling, push
the
side of the TEMP button until
60ÉF (16ÉC) shows in the display window.
The EATC cools at maximum and disre-
gards the 60ÉF (16ÉC) setting until a warmer
temperature is selected. If you want con-
tinuous maximum heating, push the
side of the TEMP button until 90ÉF
(32ÉC) shows in the display window. The
EATC provides maximum heat regardless
of the 90ÉF (32ÉC) setting until a cooler
temperature is selected.
Fan speed and thumbwheel
Your EATC automatically adjusts the fan
speed to the existing conditions. To control
the fan speed yourself, use the thumbwheel
located at the extreme right side of the
EATC control panel. Using the thumbwheel
cancels the automatic fan speed control,
and causes a

window. Rotate the thumbwheel up for HI
speeds and down for LO speeds.To return to auto fan control, press the
AUTOMATIC button.
AIR CONTROL BUTTONS
Your EATC has five buttons which allow you
to make special selections. The buttons are
grouped in the middle of the EATC panel
and allow you to determine airflow location.
Pressing any of the air control buttons
changes airflow location only, and does not
affect the ability of the system to control
temperature or fan speed. Return to fully
automatic operation by pushing the AUTO-
MATIC button.
Push this button for airflow to the floor and
windshield at the same time. Thein-
dicator light comes on, and the display
window shows the set temperature.
Press this button to obtain maximum airflow
to the windshield. Adjust the temperature
setting as required for defrosting. The
indicator light comes on and the dis-
play window shows the set temperature.
When the outside temperature is about
50ÉF (10ÉC) or above the air is dehumidified
to prevent window fogging.
Push this button to select airflow through
the instrument panel registers. The
indicator light comes on and the dis-
play window shows the set temperature.
The EATC heats the air if the selected
temperature is warmer than the outside air
coming into the vehicle. However, the air is
not cooled regardless of the temperature
setting.
Push this button to get air from the floor and
instrument panel registers at the same time.
The
indicator light comes on and the
display window shows the set temperature.
Depending on the selected temperature, the
air is automatically heated or cooled.
Push this button to direct airflow to the floor.
Theindicator light comes on and the
display window shows the set temperature.
The air cannot be cooled in the

A/C button. The A/C indicator light comes
on to verify activation, and cooled air flows
from the vents. Fan speed continues to be
controlled by the EATC unless the fan
speed thumbwheel is used to override.
Press the
button to choose air recir-
culation. In this mode the EATC system
recirculates the air inside the vehicle rather
than drawing air from outside. Use this
mode together with the air conditioning to
rapidly cool the inside of the vehicle, or to
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
ENGLISH METRIC MODE
Switch from English to metric temperature
display by simultaneously pressing the
