AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
Cassette player
cTo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends that you use
cassette tapes of 60 minutes or
shorter in length.
cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use.
Store cassettes in their protective
cases and away from direct sunlight,
heat, dust, moisture or magnetic
sources.
cDirect sunlight can cause the cas-
sette to become deformed. The use of
deformed cassettes may cause the
cassette to jam in the player.
cDo not use cassettes that have peel-
ing or loose labels. If used, 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.Loose tape may cause jamming and
wavering sound quality.
cOver 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 resi-
due accumulation can cause a weak
or wavering sound and should be
removed periodically with a head
cleaning tape.
If the residue is not removed periodi-
cally, the player may need to be dis-
assembled for cleaning.
Compact Disc (CD) Player
cOnly use high quality 4.7 inches (12
cm) round discs that have the ``COM-
PACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO'' logo on
the disc or packaging.

PLAYER AND COMPACT DISC
(CD) PLAYER
Audio main operationTo turn the radio on, turn the ignition key to
ACC or ON. If you listen to the radio with the
engine not running, turn the key to the ACC
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,buildings, bridges, mountains, and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Power/Volume control
Push the VOL knob to turn the radio on.
Push the VOL knob once more to turn the
radio OFF.
The control buttons are illuminated when
the parking lamps or headlamps are on.
Only the text for the active controls will
illuminate for each specific type of media.
No bulbs or lights have malfunctioned. For
example when a cassette tape is being
played, SHUFFLE will not illuminate.
Turn the knob to the right to increase vol-
ume or to the left to decrease volume. If the
knob is set above a certain volume level and
the ignition is turned off, the volume will
come back on at a nominal listening level
when the ignition is turned back on.

SAN dealer.
cThe SET indicator light in the instrument
panel may blink when the CRUISE main
switch is turned ON while pushing eitherthe RES/ACCEL, COAST/SET, or the
CANCEL switch (located on the steering
wheel). To properly set the cruise control
system, perform the steps in the order

cWhen it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed.
cIn heavy traffic or in traffic that var-
ies in speed.
cOn winding or hilly roads.
cOn slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.).
cIn very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

serious injury.
cYour vehicle has an automatic en-
gine cooling fan. It could come on at
any time. Keep hands and other ob-
jects away from it.
Always follow the instructions below.
Failure to do so could result in damage
to the charging system and cause per-
sonal injury.
1. If the booster battery is in another ve-
hicle, position the two vehicles to bring
their batteries close to each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
2. Apply the parking brake. Move the gear-
shift lever to the P (Park) position. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical systems
(lights, heater, air conditioner, etc.).3. Remove vent caps on the battery (if so
equipped). Cover the battery with an old
cloth to reduce explosion hazard.

HEADLIGHTS
The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
which uses a replaceable headlight (halo-
gen) bulb. A bulb can be replaced from
inside the engine compartment without re-
moving the headlight assembly.
CAUTION
cHigh pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb
may break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.cWhen handling the bulb, do not
touch the glass envelope.
Removing the headlight bulb
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from
the rear end of the bulb.
3. Turn the bulb retaining ring counterclock-
wise until it is free from the headlight
reflector, then remove it.
4. Remove the headlight bulb by pulling it
straight out. Do not shake or rotate the
bulb when removing it.
Replacing the headlight bulb
1. Insert the bulb into the headlight reflector
with the flat side of the plastic base facing
upward.
2. Install the bulb retaining ring and turn it
clockwise until it stops.
3. Push the electrical connector into the
bulb plastic base until it snaps and stops.
CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH THE BULB.
cUse the same number and wattage
as originally installed:
Wattage 65/55
Bulb no. 9007 (HB5)
cAiming is not necessary after replac-
ing the bulb. When aiming adjust-
ment is necessary, contact an
authorized NISSAN dealer.
cDo not leave the bulb out of the
headlight reflector for a long period
of time as dust, moisture and smoke
may enter the headlight body and
affect the performance of the head-
light.
