Operating tips
cKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.
cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for about ten minutes at
least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cIf the engine coolant temperature gauge
exceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air
conditioner off. See ``If your vehicle over-
heats'' in the ``In case of emergency''
section for additional information.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected tempera-
ture and AUTO show in the display window.
The EATC heats or cools to achieve the set
temperature.
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
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 gradu-
ally 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 selec-
tion. The
side lowers the set tempera-
ture, and theside raises the set tem-
perature. Press and hold either side of the
button to rapidly change the temperature
setting in one degree increments to either
65ÉF (18ÉC) or 85ÉF (29ÉC). If you wantcontinuous maximum cooling, push the
side of the TEMP button until 60ÉF
(16ÉC) shows in the display window. The
EATC cools at maximum and disregards the
60ÉF (16ÉC) setting until a warmer tempera-
ture is selected. If you want continuous
maximum heating, push the
side of the
TEMP button until 90ÉF (32ÉC) shows in the
display window. The EATC provides maxi-
mum heat regardless of the 90ÉF (32ÉC)
setting until a cooler temperature is se-
lected.
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 flow control
Your EATC has five buttons which allow you
to make special selections. The buttons aregrouped 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 front and
rear floor outlets and windshield at the same
time. The
indicator light comes on,
and the display window shows the set tem-
perature.
Push 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
45ÉF (7ÉC) or above, the air is dehumidified
to prevent window fogging.
Push this button to select airflow through

temperature is warmer than the outside air
coming into the vehicle. However, the air is
not cooled regardless of the temperature
setting, unless the A/C button is selected.
Push this button to get air from the front and
rear floor outlets and instrument panel ven-
tilators at the same time. The
indicator
light comes on and the display window

heats the air if the selected temperature is
warmer than the outside air coming into the
vehicle. However, the air is not cooled re-gardless of the temperature setting, unless
the A/C button is selected.
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

RADIO
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and
press the power on switch to turn on the
radio. If you listen to the radio with the
engine not running, the key should be
turned to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a mov-
ing vehicle, even when the finest equipment
is used. These characteristics are com-pletely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antennaposition, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can
be reduced by adjusting the treble control
counterclockwise to reduce treble re-
sponse.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics.
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
