•Air recirculation
Press the air recirculation (
) button to the
“ON” position (the indicator light goes on). Use
the “ON” position in situations such as: driving
on a dust raised road, avoiding traffic fumes or
having maximum cooling from the air conditioner
(where fitted).
If the windows fog up, switch on the air condi-
tioning (where fitted).
A/C (Air Conditioner) button (where fitted):
Press the A/C button to turn the air conditioner on
or off. When the air conditioner is on, the A/C indi-
cator light illuminates.
Operation
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate even if
the engine is turned off and the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
NOTE
The air conditioner cooling function operates only
when the engine is running and the fan is acti-
vated.
1. Press the air recirculation (
) button to the
“OFF” position.
2. Use the airflow control buttons for:
–Cooling: select the
orsetting.
–Heating: select the
orsetting.–Heating and defogging: select the
set-
ting.
–Ventilation: select the
orsetting.
–Windscreen defogging: select the
set-
ting.
3. Set the fan speed to the desired position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired
position.
NOTE
When selecting the
orsetting, turn
the temperature control dial to the desired
position between the middle and the maxi-
mum “HOT” (right) position.
5. Press the A/C button (where fitted) to the “ON”
position and the indicator light will come on.
Switch this mode on for dehumidified heating or
cooling.
NOTE
•The air conditioner mode is used to cool and
dehumidify. For quick cooling when the out-
side temperature is high, select the air recir-
culation mode position (
). Be sure to re-
turn to the outside air mode to avoid windows
from fogging-up and interior air from becom-
ing stale.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly this is not a malfunction.
•For quick heating, press the air recirculation
() button to the “ON” position. Be sure to
return to the “OFF” position for normal heat-
ing (no indicator light) in order to avoid win-
dow fog and stale interior.
Windscreen defogger
m(manual mode):
Use this mode for defogging the windscreen as fol-
lows:
1. Press the
button.
The system will set the fan speed to maximum.
Air circulation is cancelled, the airflow mode
and the air conditioner is activated automatically.
Air flows mainly from the defogger outlets.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the maximum
(HOT) position.
3. To switch off, press the
button to return to
the previous mode.
NOTE
•To quickly defrost/defog the windscreen, set
the fan speed to the maximum position.
•As soon as possible after the windscreen has
been cleared of ice or fog, press the wind-
screen defogger button.
•When the windscreen defogging mode is acti-
vated, the air conditioner will automatically
switch on at outside temperatures above –2°C
(28°F) and the air recirculation mode will be
switched off.

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
any snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then close
the windows to allow the acceleration of the air
conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
•If the engine coolant reaches an extremely high
temperature, the air conditioning system will au-
tomatically turn off. This may happen for example
if the engine runs at idle speed for a long time on
a hot day.

Air conditioner filter (where fitted)
The air conditioning system is equipped with a filter
which collects dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates effi-
ciently, replace the filter regularly. For filter replace-
ment, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The filter should be replaced if the airflow is ex-
tremely reduced or when the windows fog up
easily during air conditioning system operation.
Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioning system (where fitted) in your
NISSAN vehicle is charged with an environmentally
friendly refrigerant.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioning system. See
“Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants” in
the “9. Technical information” section of this manual.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service the air conditioning system.

WARNING
•Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal inju-
ries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up. It is
recommended that you use the outside air
mode in cold weather to keep the windows
clear.

Press the<
>button to recirculate interior air.
The indicator light illuminates and the air conditioner
will automatically come on.
When the air recirculation mode is switched off, out-
side air is drawn into the passenger compartment.

Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the airflow from the
floor outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature has warmed up,
the airflow from the floor outlets will operate nor-
mally.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then, close
the windows. This will allow the acceleration of
the air conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep windows closed while the air conditioner is
operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for about 10 minutes, at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
•If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
“HOT” position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “Engine overheat” in

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations for the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow the
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at a constant
speed, either fast or slow.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500
miles).
NOTE
Models with K9K diesel engine will achieve top
performance only after approximately 5,000 km
(3,000 miles).
WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle can be
changed remarkably by any additional load and
its distribution as well as by adding optional
equipment (trailer couplings, roof racks, etc.).
Your driving style and speed have to be adjusted
accordingly. Especially when carrying heavy
loads, your speed must be reduced adequately.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is free of
obstacles.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake and clutch fluid, and window washer fluid
as frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
•Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Also check the tyre pressure for
proper inflation.
•Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
•Check that all windows and light lenses are
clean.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position the seat and adjust the head restraints.
•Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning/indicator
lights when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position.
•Do not place hard or heavy objects on the dash-
board or rear parcel shelf in order to prevent
injury in the event of a sudden stop.
