To defog/defrost the rear window glass and
outside mirrors (if so equipped), start the engine
and push the switch on
1. The indicator light
A
will come on. Push the switch again to turn
the defroster off.
It will automatically turn off in approximately 15
minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window defroster.
XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. Always have
your xenon headlights replaced at a
NISSAN dealer.
Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have
the headlights adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights
is not reduced.
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above
signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.

immediately turning it to the ON position. This is
not a malfunction.
The daytime running lights will be turned off
when the headlight switch is turned to the AUTO

posi-
tion or when the fog light is turned on.
The daytime running lights will remain on until
the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or OFF
position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system
is active, tail lights on your vehicle are
not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on
your headlights. Failure to do so could
cause an accident injuring yourself and
others.
INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS
CONTROLThe instrument brightness control operates
when the light switch is in the
or
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
Pushing the control switch
A
once will change
the brightness to the night mode.

once will change
the brightness to the day mode.
To adjust the brightness of instrument panel
lights, push the control switches. Pushing the
upper switch
A
will brighten the lights. Thelower switch

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.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO)This mode may be normally used all year round
as the system automatically works to keep a
constant temperature. Air flow distribution and
fan speed are also controlled automatically.
1. Push the AUTO button on. (AUTO will be
displayed.)
2. Turn the temperature set dial to the left or
right to set the desired temperature.
Adjust the temperature set dial to about 75°F
(24°C) for normal operation.
The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
3. You can individually set driver and front pas-
senger side temperature using each tem-
perature control knob. When the DUAL but-
ton is pushed or passenger side temperature
control knobis turned, the DUAL indicator
will come on. To turn off the passenger side
temperature control, push the DUAL button.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air iscooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
Heating (A/C OFF)The air conditioner does not activate. When you
need to heat only, use this mode.
1. Push the A/C button. (A/C OFF will be
displayed and A/C indicator will turn off.)
2. Turn the temperature set dial to the left or
right to set the desired temperature.
The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Otherwise the sys-
tem may not work properly.
Not recommended if windows fog up.Dehumidified defrosting or defogging1. Push the
FRONT defroster button on.
(The indicator light on the button will come
on.)
2. Turn the temperature set dial to the left or
right to set the desired temperature.
