1999 NISSAN PATHFINDER reset

Station memory operations:
Twelve stations can be set for the FM band
(six for FM1, six for FM2).
Six stations can be set for the AM band.
1. Tune to the desired station using the
SEEK/SCAN or TUNE button.
2. Push the desired station select button for
more than 1.5 seconds. (For example, in
the diagram ch2 is to be memorized. The
radio mutes when the select button is
pushed.)
3. The indicator ch2 will then come on and the
sound will resume. Memorizing is now com-
plete.
4. Other buttons can be set in the same
manner.
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse blows, the radio memory will be can-
celled. In that case, reset the desired stations.Cassette tape player operationTurn the ignition key to ACC or ON, and then
lightly insert the cassette tape into the tape
door. The cassette tape will be automatically
pulled into the player.
The radio or CD will turn off (if it is on) and the
cassette tape will begin to play.
Do not force the cassette tape into the
tape door. This could cause player
damage.If the system is turned off by pushing the
ON×OFF/VOL control knob with the cassette
tape still in the player, the tape will resume
playing when the system is turned back on.
Precautions on cassette tape player
operation:
ITo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends that you use cas-
sette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
ICassette 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, mois-
ture or 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.
IDo not use cassettes that have peelingor loose labels. If used, the label could
jam in the player.
IIf a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly. Loose tape
may cause jamming and wavering
sound quality.
IOver a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may
gather a tape coating residue as the tape
passes over the head. This residue ac-
cumulation can cause a weak or waver-
ing sound and should be removed peri-
odically with a head cleaning tape.
If the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be disas-
sembled for cleaning.
PLAY:
IWhen the TAPE button is pushed with the
system turned off and a tape loaded, the
system will come on and the tape will play.
IWhen the TAPE button is pushed with
either the radio or compact disc turned on
and the tape loaded, the compact disc or
the radio will automatically be turned off
and the tape will play.

If you believe that your vehicle has
a defect which could cause a crash
or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the Na-
tional Highway Traffic Safety Ad-
ministration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying NISSAN.
If NHTSA receives similar com-
plaints, it may open an investiga-
tion, and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehicles,
it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA can-
not become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer,
or NISSAN.
To contact NHTSA, you may either
call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free
at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in
Washington, D.C. area) or write to:
NHTSA, U.S. Department of Trans-
portation, Washington, D.C. 20590.
You can also obtain other informa-
tion about motor vehicle safety from
the Hotline.You may notify NISSAN by contact-
ing our Consumer Affairs Depart-
ment, toll-free, at 1-800-NISSAN-1.
In Hawaii call (808) 836-0888.
Due to legal requirements in some states/
areas, your vehicle may be required to be in
what is called the ªready conditionº for an
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the emis-
sion control system.
The vehicle is set to the ªready conditionº
when it is driven through certain driving pat-
terns. Usually, the ready condition can be
obtained by ordinary usage of the vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is repaired
or the battery is disconnected, the vehicle may
be reset to a not ready condition. Before taking
the I/M test, drive the vehicle through the
following pattern to set the vehicle to the ready
condition. If you cannot or do not want to
perform the driving pattern, an NISSAN dealer
can conduct it for you.Always drive the vehicle in a safe man-
ner according to traffic conditions and
obey all traffic laws.1. Start the engine when the engine coolant
temperature gauge needle points to C. Al-
low the engine to idle until the gauge needle
points between the C and H (normal oper-
ating temperature).
