●The battery could run down if the seat
heater is operated while the engine is
not running.
● Do not use the seat heater for extended
periods or when no one is using the
seat.
● Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket, cush-
ion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat

Thebutton will be on the NISSAN Intelli-
gent Key® if the vehicle has remote engine start.
This feature allows the engine to start from out-
side the vehicle.
The following features may be affected when the
remote start feature is used:
● Vehicles with an automatic climate control
system will default to either a heating or
cooling mode depending on outside and
cabin temperatures. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Remote engine start logic” in
the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems section in this
manual. ●
Vehicle equipped with heated seats may
have this feature come on during a remote
start, depending on the seat heater position.
For additional information, refer to “Heated
seats” in the “Instruments and controls” sec-
tion of this manual.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the
use of remote starters. For example, some laws
require a person using remote start to have the
vehicle in view. Check local regulations for any
requirements.
Other conditions may affect the function of the
Remote Engine Start feature. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Conditions the remote start will
not work” in this section.
Other conditions can affect the performance of
the Intelligent Key transmitter. For additional in-
formation, refer to “NISSAN Intelligent Key®
System” in this section.

WARNING
● 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.

NOTE:● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO)
This mode may be 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. Press the AUTO button on. The indicator on the button will illuminate.
2. Turn the temperature control 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. ●
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.
3.
You can individually set driver’s and front pas-
senger’s side temperature using each tem-
perature control dial. When the DUAL button
is pressed or passenger’s side temperature
dial is turned, the DUAL indicator will come
on. To turn off the passenger’s side tempera-
ture control, press the DUAL button.
Heating (A/C OFF)
The air conditioner does not activate. When you
need to heat only, use this mode.
1. Press the AUTO button. The indicator light comes on.
2. Turn the temperature control dial 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 defogging
1. Press thefront defroster button on.
The indicator light on the button will come
on.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the maximum temperature to aid in defrosting or
defogging.
● To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, use the fan speed control buttons
to set the fan speed to maximum.
● As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the automatic mode.
● When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
above 36°F (2°C) . The air recirculate mode
automatically turns off, allowing outside air
to be drawn into the passenger compart-
ment to further improve the defogging per-
formance. When the air recirculate mode
automatically turns off, the air fresh mode will
automatically turn on.
