USING THE SUN VISORS1. To block out glare from the front, swing down
the main sun visor.
2. To block glare from the side, remove the main
sun visor from the center mount and swing it
to the side.
3. Then, to block glare from the front too, swing
down the sub-sun visor (if so equipped).
4. To adjust the glare block position, slide the
sub-sun visor to the left.
CAUTION
Do not store the main sun visor be-
fore storing the sub-sun visor.
Do not pull the sub-sun visor forcedly
downwards.
INSIDE MIRRORThe night position will reduce glare from the
headlights of vehicles behind you at night.
WARNING
Use the night position only when neces-
sary, because it reduces rear view clar-
ity.
OUTSIDE MIRRORSThe outside mirror will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Turn the control knobto the right or left to select
the right or left outside mirror, then adjust.
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause

AUTOMATIC SEAT POSITIONER
OPERATIONThis system is designed so that the driver’s seat
will automatically move when the automatic
transmission selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into and out
of the driver’s seat more easily.
When one of the following conditions is met, the
driver’s seat will slide backward:
When the key is removed from the ignition
switch.
When the driver’s door is opened with the
key turned to ACC or LOCK.
When the key is turned from ON to LOCK
with the driver’s door open.
When one of the following conditions is met, the
driver’s seat will return to the positions before
being set.
When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
When the driver’s door is closed with the key
turned to ACC or LOCK.
When the key is turned to ON.Procedure for storing memoryTwo positions can be stored in the automatic

drive positioner memory.Follow these proce-
dures to use the memory system.
1. Set the automatic transmission selector lever
to the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the ignition ON.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjusting
switch. For additional information, see
“Seats” in the “1. Seats, restraints and
supplemental air bag systems” section.
During this step, do not turn the ignition to
any positions other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds,push the memory switch 1 or 2 fully for at
least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the selected
positions are stored in the selected memory
(1 or 2).
If memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Confirming memory storageTurn the ignition ON and push the SET
switch. If the main memory has not been
stored, the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. When the
memory has stored the position, the indicator
light will stay on for approximately 5 seconds.
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse blows, the memory will be canceled. In
such a case, reset the desired positions
using the following procedures.
1. Open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.
2. Reset the desired position using the previous
procedure.
Selecting the memorized position1. Set the automatic transmission selector lever
to the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the ignition ON.
3. Push the memory switch 1 or 2 fully for at
least 1 second.
The driver’s seat will move to the memorized
position with the indicator light flashing, and
then the light will stay on for approximately 5
seconds.
When the memory switch 1 or 2 is pushed with
the driver’s door open and then the key inserted
into the ignition switch within approximately 1
minute, the driver’s seat will move to the memo-
rized position.System operationThe automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
when the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h).
when any two or more of the memory
switches are simultaneously pushed while
the automatic drive positioner is operating.
when the adjusting switch for the driver’s

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 antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control counterclockwise to reduce treble
response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
The radio has an FM Diversity reception system,
which employs two antennas if so equipped.
One is a rod type antenna; the other is an
antenna printed on the window. This system
automatically switches to the antenna which is
receiving less noise.
For additional information, see “Antenna” later in
this section.AM RADIO RECEPTIONAM 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 sub-ject 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 turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTIONWhen the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio
may not work properly. This is not a malfunction.
Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite radio
ON for satellite radio to receive all of the neces-
sary data.
Satellite radio reception capability is not func-
tional, and “NO SAT” will be displayed during
scrolling of modes, unless optional satellite re-
ceiver and antenna were factory installed prior to
purchase (retrofit unavailable), and an XM
or
SIRIUS
TM
satellite radio service subscription is
active.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof rack blocks the satellite
radio signal.If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
radio antenna.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Cassette playerTo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.
Cassette tapes should be removed from
the player when not in use. Store cas-
settes in their protective cases and
away from direct sunlight, heat, dust,
moisture and magnetic sources.
Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to
become deformed. The use of deformed
cassettes may cause the cassette to jam
in the player.
Do not use cassettes with labels which
are peeling and loose. If used, the label
could jam in the player.
If a cassette has loose tape, insert a
pencil through one of the cassette hubs
and rewind the tape firmly around the
hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-
ming and wavering sound quality.
Over a period of time, the playback
head, capstan and pinch roller may col-
