WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, unreliable
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 the
interior 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, in order that full atten-
tion may be given to the driving
operation.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) is located at the center of
the instrument panel, above the radio. The
EATC operates only when the ignition isturned to the ON position.
The EATC maintains the temperature you
select 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 five function
selector buttons:
,,,
,or. 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.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select
the desired temperature. The selected tem-
perature and AUTO show in the display
window. The EATC heats or cools to
achieve the set temperature.
When in AUTOMATIC and weather condi-
tions require heat, air is sent to the floor.
However, a feature is included in the EATC
to prevent blowing cold air to the floor if the
engine coolant is not warm enough to allow
heating. In three or four minutes the fan
speed gradually increases and airflow
changes to the floor.
If unique conditions exist, such as window
fogging, the five override buttons allow spe-
cific airflow selection. The thumbwheel al-
lows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.
Temperature selection
TheTEMPbutton on the left
side of the control panel is for temperature
selection. The
side lowers the set
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 toeither 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
to appear in the display
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 youto 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
display window shows the set temperature.
When the outside temperature is about
50ÉF (10ÉC) or above, the air is dehumidi-
fied to prevent window fogging.
Push this button to select airflow through
the instrument panel registers. The
indicator light comes on, and the
display 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
mode, only heated.
AIR CONDITIONER AND AIR RE-
CIRCULATION
Activate the air conditioner in any of the
override modes listed above by pressing 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 conditioner 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
and A/C buttons and holding the

by lightly pushing it. Because of the power
loading feature, the cassette tape is auto-
matically pulled into the player and begins
to play.
CAUTION
Do not force the cassette tape into the
tape door. This could damage the
player.
When a cassette is inserted into the audio
system, the word TAPE and a cassette side
symbol (either 1 or 2) illuminate in the
display window.
A cassette tape can be loaded with the
ignition ON whether or not the radio power
is on. Inserting a cassette tape with the
radio power off causes the audio system to
turn on. After the cassette is ejected, the
audio system turns off. Also, the power
antenna (if so equipped) stays in the down
position during cassette tape operation.
The cassette tape automatically changes
directions to play the other side when the
first side is completed.
cTo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store
3-18
ZX

cassettes in their protective cases
and away from direct sunlight, heat,
moisture, and magnetic sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cassette
to become deformed. The use of de-
formed cassettes may cause the cas-
sette to jam in the player.
cDo not use cassettes with peeling or
loose labels, as the label could jam in
the player.
cIf 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 jamming and wavering
sound quality.
cOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan, and pinch roller may
cause a tape coating residue as the
tape passes over the head. This resi-
due accumulation can cause weak or
wavering sound, and should be re-
moved periodically with a head clean-
ing tape.
If the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be dis-
assembled for cleaning.Use a Nissan Cassette Deck Cleaning Sys-
tem or equivalent to clean the tape player
head after 10-12 hours of play to help
maintain the best playback sound and
proper tape operation.
