● The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
● Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals. ●
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 or heating (auto)
This mode may be normally used all year round as
the system automatically works to keep a con-
stant temperature. Air flow distribution and fan
speed are also controlled automatically. 1. Press the AUTO button on. (AUTO will be displayed.)
2. Turn the driver’s side temperature control dial to the left or right to set the desired
temperature. Driver and passenger tem-
peratures can be set independently. Press
DUAL to activate dual climate control func-
tions. Turn the passenger’s side temperature
control dial to the left or right to set the
desired passenger’s temperature.
● Adjust the temperature dial to about 75°F
(24°C) for normal operation.

●The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution, fan speed and A/C on/off
are also controlled automatically.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
1. Press the defroster control buttonto
turn the system on. The display will show the
defrost icon.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the left or right to set the desired temperature.
● To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, press the fan control speed button
until it reaches the maximum speed
.
● As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the auto mode. ●
When the defroster control button
is
activated, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
above 36°F (2°C) . If in defrost mode for
more than one minute, the air conditioning
system will continue to operate until the fan
control is turned OFF, the vehicle is shut off,
or the A/C button is pressed even if the air
flow MODE control button is used to select a
position other than the
position. This
dehumidifies the air which helps defog the
windshield. The air recirculation mode auto-
matically turns off, allowing outside air to be
drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.

OPERATING TIPS
●When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.
The sunload sensor
1, located on the top center
of the instrument panel, helps the system main-
tain a constant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around this sensor. Rear seat temperature and fan speed can be
controlled from both the front seat overhead con-
sole controls
Aor the rear seat overhead con-
sole controls

conditioner is turned off. If it is set to any of the fan
speed positions, air is discharged from the rear
vents at the corresponding speed.

the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is re-
quired when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants
will cause severe damage to your air conditioner
system. See “Air conditioner system refrigerant
and oil recommendations” in the “Technical and
consumer information” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer is able to service your “environ-
mentally friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper equipment.
