Operating tips
∙ Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation.
∙ Af ter parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger com-
partment. Then, close the windows.
This allows the air conditioner to cool
the interior more quickly.
∙ The air conditioning system should
be operated for approximately
10 minutes at least once a month.
This helps prevent damage to the
system due to lack of lubrication. ∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from
the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
∙ If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency ” section of this manual.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and
dial positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK

Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. If the
button is pressed before the initialization
completes, the system will announce
“Hands-free phone system not ready” and
will not react to voice commands.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the
system, observe the following:∙ Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as possible. Close the windows to elimi-
nate surrounding noises (traffic noises,
vibration sounds, etc.), which may pre-
vent the system from recognizing voice
commands correctly.
Giving voice commands (if so
equipped)
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition,
press and release the
button located
on the steering wheel. Af ter the tone
sounds, speak a command.
The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given
when the command is accepted. ∙ If you need to hear the available com-
mands for the current menu again, say
“Help” and the system will repeat them.
∙ If a command is not recognized, the system announces, “Command not
recognized. Please try again.” Make sure
the command is said exactly as
prompted by the system and repeat
the command in a clear voice.
∙ If you want to go back to the previous command, you can say “Go back” or
“Correction” any time the system is
waiting for a response.
∙ You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by say-
ing, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system an-
nounces “Cancel” and ends the Voice
Recognition session. You can also press
and hold the
button on the steer-
ing wheel for 5 seconds at any time to
end the Voice Recognition session.
Whenever the Voice Recognition ses-
sion is canceled, a double beep is
played to indicate you have exited the
system. ∙ If you want to adjust the volume of the
voice feedback, push the volume con-
trol switches (+ or -) on the steering
wheel while being provided with feed-
back. You can also use the radio volume
control knob.
Voice Prompt Interrupt
In most cases you can interrupt the voice
feedback to speak the next command by
pressing the
button on the steering
wheel. Af ter interrupting the system, wait
for a beep before speaking your command.
One Shot Call
To use the system faster, you may speak
the second level commands with the main
menu command on the main menu. For
example, press the
button and af ter
the tone say, “Call Redial”.
