When the climate control system is on, the front
and rear fan speeds may be automatically low-
ered so that commands are more easily recog-
nized. Fan speed can be adjusted using the fan
speed decrease and increase buttons, if desired.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control
Turn thefan speed control dial to manually
control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to return to automatic
control of the fan speed.
Temperature control dial
The temperature control dial allows you to adjust
the temperature of the outlet air. To lower the
temperature, turn the dial to the left. To increase
the temperature, turn the dial to the right. Tem-
perature can be adjusted on the driver’s and
passenger’s side.
Air recirculation
Press theair recirculation button to recir-
culate interior air inside the vehicle. The air recirculation cannot be activated when
the air conditioner is in the
front defogging
mode.
Automatic intake air control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be con-
trolled automatically. To manually control the in-
take air, press the
air recirculation button.
To return to the automatic control mode, press
and hold the
air recirculation button for
about 2 seconds. The indicator light will flash
twice, and then the intake air will be controlled
automatically.

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the top driver’s
side of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put any-
thing on or around this sensor.● 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.REAR AUTOMATIC AIR

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. For additional information, refer to “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and oil recommen-
dations” in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
to service your “environmentally friendly” air con-
ditioner 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.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
●The driver must not attempt to operate
the audio system while the vehicle is in
motion, so that full attention may be
given to the vehicle operation.
● Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before operat-
ing the audio system and playing mov-
ies (where fitted) .
CAUTION
●Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine is running. Operating
the audio system for extended periods
of time with the engine turned off can
discharge the vehicle battery.
● Do not allow these systems to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled liq-
uids may cause the system to
malfunction.
Radio
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position
before turning on the radio. If you listen to the radio
when the engine is not running, the ignition switch
should be pushed to ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from the radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains, and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality are normally caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio reception.
These circuits are designed to extend reception
range, and to enhance the quality of that recep-
tion.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can effect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the best quality equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a given
reception area, and do not indicate any malfunc-
tion in your radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change be-
cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other ve-
hicles can adversely affect ideal reception. De-
scribed below are some of the factors that can
affect radio reception.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER AUDIO SYSTEM
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-55

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
Maximum Signal Distances● FM: 25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km)
● AM: 60 to 130 miles (97 to 209 km)
Range: FM range in normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km) with monaural (single
station) FM having slightly more range than ste-
reo FM. External influences may sometimes inter-
fere with FM station reception even if the FM
station is within the 25 miles (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 characteristics 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.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with an increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary flutter or loss of sound.AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can bounce off the iono-
sphere and be bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics, AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmitter
to receiver.

Fading: This occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
HD Radio™ Technology reception (for
U.S.)
HD Radio™ Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts. For
additional information, refer to “Audio settings” in
this section.
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available) , providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When this
feature is not activated or HD Radio broadcasts
are not available, you will receive analog radio
(AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a mal-
function. Wait more then 10 minutes with the
satellite radio on and the vehicle outside of any
metal or large building for the satellite radio to
receive all of the necessary date.The satellite radio requires an active SiriusXM
Satellite Radio subscription. The satellite service
is available only to those at least 18 and older in
the 48 contiguous United States.
The satellite radio performance may be affected if
the cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
The build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
