OPENER OPERATION
WARNING
cDo not drive with the trunk lid open.
This could allow dangerous exhaust
gases to be drawn into the vehicle.
See ``Exhaust gas'' in the ``Starting
and driving'' section of this manual.
cClosely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent them
from playing and becoming locked
in the trunk where they could be
seriously injured. Keep the carlocked, with the trunk closed, when
not in use, and prevent children's
access to car keys.

INTERIOR TRUNK LID RELEASE
WARNING
Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
trunk closed, when not in use, and
prevent children's access to car keys.
The interior trunk lid release mechanism
provides a means of escape for children
and adults in the event they become locked
inside the trunk.
To open the trunk from the inside, rotate the
illuminated lever until the lock releases and
push up on the trunk lid. The release lever is
made of a material that glows in the dark
after a brief exposure to ambient light.
The handle is located inside the trunk com-
partment on the trunk lock at the center of
the trunk lid.

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-

Audio Main Operation
To turn the radio on, turn the ignition key to
ACC or ON. If you listen to the radio with theengine not running, turn the key to the ACC

button is pressed, and stops at the next
broadcasting station. Once the highest
broadcasting station is reached, the radio
continues in the SEEK mode at the lowest
broadcasting station.
SCAN tuning
Push the SEEK/SCAN tuning button
for more than 1.5 seconds. SCAN illu-
minates in the display. SCAN tuning begins
from high to low frequencies or low to high
frequencies, depending on which button is
pressed. SCAN tuning stops at each broad-
casting station for five seconds. Pushing the
button again during this five second period
stops SCAN tuning and the radio remains
tuned to that station.Station memory operations
Six stations can be set for the AM band.
Twelve stations can be set for the FM band
(six for FM1, six for FM2).1. Push to select AM, FM1, or FM2. The
selected band illuminates in the display.
2. Tune to the desired station.
3. Push the desired station select button for
more than 1.5 seconds. For example, in
the illustrations, ch2 is to be memorized.
The radio mutes when the select button
is pushed.
4. When the indicator illuminates in the
display and the sound resumes, memo-
rizing is complete.
5. Other station select buttons can be set in
the same manner.
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
radio fuse opens, the radio memory is can-
celled. In that case, reset the desired stations.
Compact disc (CD) player operation
