The air conditioner system in your NISSAN ve-
hicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with
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. Refer to “Air conditioner system refriger-
ant 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 refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.
RADIO
With the ignition placed in the ACC or ON posi-
tion, press the VOL (volume) knob/
(power)
/ON•OFF button to turn the radio on. If you listen
to the radio with the engine not running, the
ignition should be placed in 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 vehicle
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.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the de-
vice in a different location may reduce or elimi-
nate the noise.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 – 30 mi
(40 – 48 km) , with monaural (single channel) FM
having slightly more range than stereo FM. Exter-
nal influences may sometimes interfere with FM
station reception even if the FM station is within
25 mi (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 char-
acteristics 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.

●Some characters used in other languages
(Chinese, Japanese, etc.) are not displayed
properly on the vehicle center screen. We
recommend using English or Spanish lan-
guage characters with an iPod®.
● Large video podcast files cause slow re-
sponses in the iPod®. The vehicle center
display may momentarily black out, but it will
soon recover.
● If the iPod® automatically selects large
video podcast files while in the shuffle mode,
the vehicle center display may momentarily
black out, but it will soon recover.
● Improperly plugging in the iPod® may cause
a checkmark to be displayed on and off
(flickering) . Always make sure that the
iPod® is connected properly.
● The iPod® nano (2nd Generation) will con-
tinue to fast forward or rewind if it is discon-
nected during a seek operation.
● An incorrect song title may appear when the
Play Mode is changed while using the iPod®
nano (2nd Generation) .
● Audiobooks may not play in the same order
as they appear on the iPod®. ●
The iPod® nano (1st Generation) may re-
main in fast forward or rewind mode if it is
connected during a seek operation. In this
case, please manually reset the iPod®.
● If you are using an iPod® (3rd Generation
with Dock connector) , do not use very long
names for the song title, album name or artist
name to prevent the iPod® from resetting
itself.
● Be careful not to do the following, or the
cable could be damaged and a loss of func-
tion may occur:
● Bend the cable excessively (1.6 in
(40 mm) radius maximum) .
● Twist the cable excessively (more than
180 degrees) .
● Pull or drop the cable.
● Do not force the iPod® cable connector
into the device port.
● Close the center console lid on the cable
or connectors.
● Store objects with sharp edges in the
storage where the cable is stored.
● Spill liquids on the cable and connectors. ●
Do not connect the cable to the iPod® if the
cable and/or connectors are wet. It may
damage the iPod®.
● If the cable and connectors are exposed to
water, allow the cable and/or connectors to
dry completely before connecting the cable
to the iPod® (wait 24 hours for it to dry) .
● If the connector is exposed to fluids other
than water, evaporative residue may cause a
short between the connector pins. In this
case, replace the cable, otherwise damage
to the iPod® and a loss of function may
occur.
● If the cable is damaged (insulation cut, con-
nectors cracked, contamination such as liq-
uids, dust, dirt, etc. in the connectors) , do
not use the cable and contact a NISSAN
dealer to replace the cable with a new one.
● When not in use for extended periods of
time, store the cable in a clean, dust free
environment at room temperature and with-
out direct sun exposure.
● Do not use the cable for any other purposes
other than its intended use in the vehicle.
