Combination Meter Self-Diagnosis
PERFORMING SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ªLOCKº position.
2. Press both reset buttons on the combination meter and keep
them depressed.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ªONº position, while keeping the
reset buttons pressed.
4. Release both reset buttons then self-diagnosis will start. The
sequence (A to I) is activated by press the either reset buttons.
NOTE:
If either reset button is not pressed for 20 seconds at each step or
if the ignition switch is turned OFF, the self-diagnosis mode is
exited.

System Description
Refer to Owner's Manual for audio system operating instructions.
NATS AUDIO LINK
Description
The link with the NATS IMMU implies that the audio unit can basically only be operated if connected to the
matching NATS IMMU to which the audio unit was initially fitted on the production line.
Since radio operation is impossible after the link with the NATS is disrupted theft of the audio unit is basically
useless since special equipment is required to reset the audio unit.
Initialization process for audio units that are linked to the NATS IMMU
New audio units will be delivered to the factories in the ªNEWº state, i.e. ready to be linked with the vehicle's
NATS. When the audio unit in ªNEWº state is first switched on at the factory, it will start up communication
with the vehicle's immobiliser control unit (IMMU) and send a code (the ªaudio unit Codeº) to the IMMU. The
IMMU will then store this code, which is unique to each audio unit, in its (permanent) memory.
Upon receipt of the code by the IMMU, the NATS will confirm correct receipt of the audio unit code to the audio
unit. Hereafter, the audio unit will operate as normal.
During the initialisation process, ªNEWº is displayed on the audio unit display. Normally though, communica-
tion between audio unit and IMMU takes such a short time that the audio unit seems to switch on directly
without showing ªNEWº on its display.
Normal operation
Each time the audio unit is switched on afterwards, the audio unit code will be verified between the audio unit
and the NATS before the audio unit becomes operational. During the code verification process, ªWAITº is
shown on the audio unit display. Again, the communication takes such a short time that the audio unit seems
to switch on directly without showing ªWAITº on its display.
When the radio is locked
In case of a audio unit being linked with the vehicle's NATS (immobilizer system), disconnection of the link
between the audio unit and the IMMU will cause the audio unit to switch into the lock (ªSECUREº) mode in
which the audio unit is fully inoperative. Hence, repair of the audio unit is basically impossible, unless the audio
unit is reset to the ªNEWº state for which special decoding equipment is required.
Clarion has provided their authorized service representatives with so called ªdecoder boxesº which can bring
the audio unit back to the ªNEWº state, enabling the audio unit to be switched on after which repair can be
carried out. Subsequently, when the repaired audio unit is delivered to the final user again, it will be in the
ªNEWº state as to enable re-linking the audio unit to the vehicle's immobiliser system. As a result of the above,
repair of the audio unit can only be done by an authorized Clarion representative.
Service instruction
Item Radio linked with IMMU and/or SECU
Battery disconnection No additional action required
Radio needs repair Repair needs to be done by authorised representative of radio manufacturer since radio
cannot be operated unless it is reset to NEW state, using special decoding equipment
Replacement of radio by new part Radio is delivered in NEW state. If possible, the radio will automatically link up with the
immobiliser system. If this appears not possible, CATS code needs to be manually input
Transferring radio to another vehicle /
replacement of radio by an ªoldº partRadio needs to be reset to NEW state by authorised representative of radio manufac-
turer
Replacement of IMMU by new part Radio will request for CATS code input prior to establishing the link with the IMMU
Replacement of IMMU by old part If a radio code has already been stored in memory of the IMMU, the radio cannot be
linked to it. After switching on the radio, it will display ªSECUREº after 1 minute. Opera-
tion can only be established after resetting the ratio by an authorised representative of
radio manufacturer
CATS code input procedure
1. Radio displays ªCODE INº after the power is switched ON.
2. Enter CATS code (4-digits) by pressing the preset buttons (using 1 to 4).
Press the preset buttons for the necessary amount of times for the number of each digits.
e.g. CATS code is ª5432º
Press No. 1 preset button for 5 times
Press No. 2 preset button for 4 times

6. Before servicing the vehicle, protect fenders, upholstery and
carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons on your person do
not scratch the paint.
7. Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
8. Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
9. Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and
needle bearings as a set.
10. Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their
assembled locations and sequence.
11. Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use
microcomputers (such as electronic control units).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
12. After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indi-
cate the proper connection.
13. Use only the lubricants specified in MA section.
14. Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents
when required.
15. Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for
safe and efficient service repairs.
16. When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.
17. Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
(Dual Air Bag System)
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAir Bagº and ªSeat Belt Pre-
tensionerº, used along with a seat belt, help to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal col-
lision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag mod-
ules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instru-
ment panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a
diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral
cable.
WARNING:
ITo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could
increase the risk of personal injury or death (in the event
of a collision which would result in air bag inflation), all
maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN
dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused
by unintentional activation of the system.
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related
to the SRS unless instructed to do so in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow
