To turn on the map lights, press the
switches. To turn them off, press the
switches again.
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could
result in a discharged battery.The interior lights, the cargo light, the glove
box light, the stepwell lights near the sliding
doors and on the front doors, and the foot-
well lights near the driver's and front pas-
senger's feet illuminate when the front or
sliding doors are opened. Once the doors
are closed, these lights gradually dim to off
within 30 seconds or turn off immediately
when the key is turned to the ON position.
Battery saver
If the vehicle doors are not fully closed and
the interior lights remain illuminated, they
eventually turn off automatically to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged. If the
interior lights are left in the ON position, with
all doors closed, they will automatically turn
off after approximately 30 minutes. Lights
that illuminate when the front or sliding
doors are opened turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes. Lights that illuminate
when the back door is opened turn off after
approximately 60 minutes. Vanity mirror
lights are not part of the battery saver
system.
If the personal reading lights are left on after
the key is removed from the ignition, they
will automatically turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes.The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver provides a convenient way to consoli-
date the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in de-
vice.
cThe Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver will operate garage doors,
gates, home/office lighting systems and
security systems by storing and transmit-
ting the programming information of your
current hand-held transmitters.
c
The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver is built-in and powered by
your vehicle's battery and charging sys-
tem. No separate batteries are necessary.
WARNING
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object
in the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse the

door, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkT
WARNING
During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming your transmit-
ter. The Integrated HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver may not work with
older garage door openers that do not
meet current Federal Consumer Safety
Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver by pressing any button. The
red indicator light should come on. If you
have previously programmed a button
proceed to step 3.
2. Clear all channels on the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver by
holding down both outside buttons (#1 &
#3) until the red light begins to flash
rapidly (approximately 20 seconds).
Then release both buttons.
3. Select which of the three Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver but-
tons you want to program.
4. Hold your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver so
that you can still see the red indicator
light.

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn
the interior lights on or off, and activate the
panic alarm by using the remote controller
from outside the vehicle.
Be sure to remove the key from the
vehicle before locking the doors and
leaving it.
The remote controller can operate at a
distance of approximately 30 ft (10 m) from
the vehicle. The effective distance depends
on the conditions around the vehicle.
As many as four remote controllers can be
used with one vehicle. For more information
concerning the purchase and use of addi-
tional remote controllers, contact an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the remote
controller:
cDo not allow the remote controller to
become wet.
cDo not drop the remote controller.
cDo not strike the remote controller
sharply against another object.cDo not place the remote controller
for an extended period in an area
where temperatures exceed 140ÉF
(60ÉC).

To remove a multi-remote controller from
the memory seat system press and hold
both memory seat and mirror position but-
tons 1 and 2 and then press the
button
on the multi-remote controller.
INSIDE MIRROR
The night position reduces glare from the
headlights of vehicles behind you at night.
WARNING
Use the night position only when nec-
essary, because it reduces rear view
clarity.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
The outside mirrors operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Move the switch to select the right or left
side mirror, then adjust using the control
lever.
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could

into the passenger compartment which
helps defog the windshield.
Bi-level heating/cooling
The bi-level mode directs air to the side and
center vents and to the front and rear floor
outlets.
Bi-level is also a cooling mode when high
sun load conditions are present with cool
temperatures.
With the A/C system in operation, this mode
can be used to cool the passenger's or
driver's feet under high temperature condi-
tions.
With the A/C system in operation under high
temperature conditions, improved cooling
can be obtained by moving the air control
dial to the MAX A/C position.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Heating and defogging
This mode heats the interior and defogs the
windshield. This mode directs air to the
defroster and the front and rear floor outlets.
Rear passenger heat is provided by the
front system through floor outlets located
under both front seats.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
position is selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on
(however, the indicator light will not illu-
minate) if the outside temperature is
more than 45ÉF (7ÉC). 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 which
helps defog the windshield.
Operating tips
cClear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of thewindshield. This improves heater op-
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.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION
Start the engine, move the fan control dial to
the desired (one to four) position, and select
an air control position before pushing in the
air conditioner button to activate the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner is on,
cooling and dehumidifying functions are
added to the heater operation.
WARNING
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.

Push the MAX button to choose air recircu-
lation. In this mode the EATC system recir-
culates the air inside the vehicle rather than
drawing air from outside. Air is distributed
through the instrument panel ventilators
similar to
mode. Use this mode to rap-
idly cool the inside of the vehicle, or to
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
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.English/metric mode
Switch from English to metric temperature
display by simultaneously pressing the
and A/C buttons and holding the
thumbwheel in upper position (HI) for one
second.
