ANTENNA
Manual antennaThe manual antenna on your vehicle remains
in the upper position at all times. The antenna
cannot be shortened, but can be removed.
When you need to remove the antenna, turn
the antenna nut counterclockwise. To install
the antenna rod, turn the antenna nut clock-
wise. Tighten the antenna rod to specification
using a suitable tool, such as an open-end
wrench. The antenna rod tightening specifica-
tion is 3.4 to 3.6 N×m (30 to 32 in-lb). Do not
use pliers to tighten the antenna as they can
leave marks on the antenna surface. The

antenna rod cannot be hand tightened to the
proper specification.
CAUTION
IAlways properly tighten the antenna
rod during installation or the antenna
rod may bend or break during vehicle
operation.
ITo prevent damage, be sure that
manual antenna is removed before
the vehicle enters an automated car
wash.Power antennaThe antenna will automatically extend when
the radio is turned on, and retract when
switched off. If the radio is left on, the antenna
will retract and extend with the ignition key
OFF-ON operation.
CAUTION
IBefore turning the radio on, make
sure that there is no one near theantenna outlet and there is enough
space for it to extend.
ITo prevent damage, be sure that
power antenna is fully retracted be-
fore the vehicle enters an automated
car wash.
IDirt and other foreign matter on the
power antenna rod may interrupt its
operation. Clean the rod periodically
with a damp cloth. This type of clean-
ing is especially important during the
winter seasons in areas where road
salt and other chemicals may be
spread on road surfaces and
splashed onto the antenna rod.If equipped with a genuine NISSAN cellular
phone, your NISSAN features a non-
directional microphone in the steering column
cover, so it is not necessary to look at or speak
directly into the microphone when calling. To
do so could detract from the driving operation
and cause an accident. See the car phone
manual for operation.
Some models are pre-wired to accept the
genuine NISSAN cellular phone. In addition,
the same model has the phone antenna built
into the rear glass window.
When installing a car phone or CB, ham radio
in your NISSAN, be sure to observe the follow-
ing cautions, otherwise the new equipment
may adversely affect the Engine control sys-
tem and other electronic parts.
WARNING
IA cellular telephone should not be
used while driving so full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
cellular telephones while driving.CAR PHONE OR CB RADIO

IIf you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
IIf a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
IKeep the antenna as far as possible
away from the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
IKeep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the Multiport Fuel
Injection harness. Do not route the
antenna wire next to any harness.IAdjust the antenna standing-wave ra-
tio as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
IConnect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
