OUTSIDE MIRROR REMOTE
CONTROL (if so equipped)
The outside mirror remote control only operates
when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position.
Rotate the control lever to select the right or left
mirror. Adjust the mirror to the desired position by
moving the control lever.
WARNING
cObjects 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
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
cDo not adjust the mirrors while driving.
You could lose control of your vehicle

RADIO
Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position
and press the PWR (power)/VOL (volume) knob
to turn the radio on. 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, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra-
dio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-
ity of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a given re-
ception area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.Reception conditions will constantly change be-
cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other ve-
hicles can work against ideal reception. De-
scribed below are some of the factors that can
affect your radio reception.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 - 30
miles (40 - 48 km) , with monaural (single chan-
nel) 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 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 to reduce treble response.Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary 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 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.

tion. If using thebutton, once the highest
broadcasting station is reached, the radio contin-
ues in the SEEK mode at the lowest broadcasting
station. If using the
button, once the lowest
broadcasting station is reached, the radio contin-
ues in the SEEK mode at the highest broadcast-
ing station.
Manual tuning
Use the
andbuttons for manual
tuning. To move quickly through the channels,
hold either of the tuning buttons down.
SCAN tuning
Push and hold the SEEK/TRACK tuning button
(
or) for more than 1.5 seconds.
SCAN illuminates in the display window, and the
radio station blinks. SCAN tuning begins from

cies, depending on which button is pressed.
SCAN tuning stops at each broadcasting station
for 5 seconds. When scanning, SCAN is solid
and the radio station blinks. When temporarily
stopped on a station, SCAN blinks and the sta-
tion display is solid. Pushing the button again
during this 5 second period stops SCAN tuning
and the radio remains tuned to that station.Station memory operations
Each preset mode (A, B or C) has 6 presets,
capable of storing any combination of AM and FM
stations.Press the PRESET ABC button to change be-
tween the presets:
A!B!C
The radio displays icon A, B or C to indicate
which set of presets is active.
To store a radio station in a preset:
1. Select the desired preset by pressing PRE-
SET ABC.
2. Tune to the desired station.
3. Press the desired station select button for
more than 3 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, memorizing is com-
plete.
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 canceled. In that
case, reset the desired stations.
Compact disc (CD) player operation
