The automatic drive positioner system has two
features:
Entry/exit function
Memory storageENTRY/EXIT FUNCTIONThis system is designed so that the driver’s seat
and outside mirror will automatically move when
the selector lever is in the P (Park) position. This
allows the driver to get into and out of the
driver’s seat more easily.
The driver’s seat will slide backward:
The driver’s seat will slide backward when the
driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch
(knob) in the LOCK position.
The driver’s seat will return to the previous
position:
When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch after closing the driver’s door, or when
the driver’s door is closed after inserting the
key into the ignition switch.
When the ignition switch is pushed with the
driver’s door closed. (Intelligent Key
equipped model)
When the key or ignition switch is turned to
the ON position.The entry/exit feature can be canceled. See “4.
Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio
systems” section of this manual.
The entry/exit function can be activated or can-
celled by pressing and holding the SET switch
for more than 10 seconds while the ignition key
is in the LOCK position. The indicator light will
blink once when the function is cancelled, and
the indicator light will blink twice when the
function is activated. If the battery cable is
disconnected, or if the fuse opens, the entry/exit
function will be cancelled. In such a case, after
connecting the battery or replacing with a new
fuse, open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key or ignition switch
in the LOCK position to activate the entry/exit
function.
MEMORY STORAGETwo positions for the driver’s seat, pedals (Brake
and Accelerator) and outside mirrors can be
stored in the automatic drive positioner memory.
Follow these procedures to use the memory
system.
1. Set the selector lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat, pedals (Brake and
Accelerator) and outside mirrors to the de-
sired positions by manually operating each
adjusting switch. For additional information,

WARNING
The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals. Do not leave children or
adults who would normally require
the assistance of others in your ve-
hicle. Unattended pets should also
not be left alone.
Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
Positioning of the heater and/or air
conditioner controls should not be
done while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle
operation.
Start the engine and operate the controls toactivate the air conditioner.

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.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, electricalpower 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.
The satellite radio mode will be skipped or “NO
SAT” will be displayed unless the optional sat-
ellite receiver and antenna are installed, and an
XM
or SIRIUS
TM
satellite radio service sub-
scription is active.
Satellite radio performance may be effected 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 andaway 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-
lect a tape coating residue as the tape is
played. This residue accumulation can
cause weak or wavering sound, and
should be removed periodically with a
head cleaning tape. If the residue is not
removed periodically, the player may
need to be disassembled for cleaning.
