OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DIS-
PLAY
Push the MODE switch when the ignition
key is in the ACC or ON position. The
outside temperature will be displayed in ÉF.
OPush the MODE switch to change from
ÉF to ÉC.
OWhen the outside temperature is be-
tween 130ÉF (55ÉC) and 158ÉF (70ÉC),
the display shows 130ÉF (55ÉC).
OWhen the outside temperature is
lower than -40ÉF (-40ÉC) or higherthan 158ÉF (70ÉC), the display shows
onlyÐÐÐthough it is operating.
This is not a malfunction.
OThe outside temperature sensor is
located in front of the radiator. The
sensor may be affected by road or
engine heat, wind direction and other
driving conditions. The display may
differ from the actual outside tem-
perature or the temperature dis-
played on various signs or bill-
boards.
OTemperature display will not update
unless the vehicle is moving faster
than 12 mph (20 km/h), or the ignition
switch has been OFF for 4 hours.COMPASS DISPLAY
Push the MODE switch when the ignition
key is in the ACC or ON position. The
direction will be displayed.
Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes
be great enough to cause false compass
readings. Follow these instructions to setthe variance for your particular location if
this happens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration. Record your
zone number.
2. Push the MODE switch in for five sec-
onds until the current zone entry number
is displayed.
3. Press the MODE switch repeatedly until
the new zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed,
stop pressing the MODE switch and the

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
