Automatic window lowering
(Roadster models)

pressed, the power windows will auto-
matically be lowered completely. The
windows do not rise automatically after
the soft top open/close operation is
completed. Use the power window
switches to raise them.
Automatic adjusting function
CAUTION
When the battery cable is removed
from the battery terminal, do not
close either of the front doors. The
automatic window adjusting func-
tion will not work and the side roof
panel may be damaged.
The power window has an automatic
adjusting function. When the door is
being opened, the window is automati-
cally lowered slightly to avoid contact
between the window and the side roof
panel. When the door is closed, the
window is automatically raised slightly.
While the automatic adjusting function
does not work, the window will be con-
trolled as follows: .
When the door is opened, the window
lowers for approximately 2 seconds.
. While the door is open, the window
cannot be raised.
If the windows do not close auto-
matically
If the power window automatic function
(closing only) does not operate properly,
perform the following procedure to initi-
alize the power window system.
1. Push the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Close the door and soft top (Roadster models).
3. Open the window completely by op- erating the power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then
hold the switch more than 3 seconds
after the window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by the automatic
function to confirm the initialization is
complete.
6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other windows.
If the power window automatic function
does not operate properly after perform-
ing the procedure above, have your vehicle checked. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Instruments and controls2-49

.Do not place anything in the top
storage area. The top will not fit
there properly, and this could
damage the top and/or the vehi-
cle body.
. Do not sit or place excessive
weight on the top and the sto-
rage lid, especially when the top
is being operated. The top may be
damaged.
. Do not drive the vehicle with the
top partially opened. Always
make sure the top is either fully
opened or closed before driving.
. Secure items so that they cannot
be blown from the vehicle while
driving with the top open.
. Do not operate the top manually
except for emergency cases.
Manual operation may damage
the top.
. Be sure to fully open or fully close
the top. Do not release the switch
half way through the roof open-
ing or closing process. If the top is
only partially opened, significant
damage to the top could occur.
Make sure the trunk lid is securely closed
before operating the top.

WHEN OPERATING THE TOP
WARNING
Keep hands and other parts of the
body away from moving parts such
as the top, storage lid, side flap
and power windows.
CAUTION
Keep all parts of the top linkage clear
of obstructions, or the top latch may
not be securely locked. NOTE:
.
In case of low battery or low tem-
perature, the top may temporarily
stop moving during the operation.
This functions to protect the top
control mechanism, and it is not a
malfunction.
. If the top is opened and closed
repeatedly in a short period of time
or the top operation is stopped while
opening or closing, the top opera-
tion may be automatically stopped
to protect the system. Wait for ap-
proximately 5 minutes before oper-
ating the top again.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-25

4-32Center display, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
cal power lines, electric signs and even
traffic lights.
Satellite radio reception (if so
equipped):
When the satellite radio is used for the
first time or the battery has been re-
placed, the satellite radio may not work
properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait
more than 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 data.
The satellite radio mode requires an
active SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscrip-
tion. The satellite radio is not available in
Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof
blocks the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
