WARNING
. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions for proper use
of the RearView Monitor could
result in serious injury or death. .
RearView Monitor is a conveni-
ence feature and is not a sub-
stitute for proper backing. Always
turn and look out the windows,
and check mirrors to be sure that
it is safe to move before operat-
ing the vehicle. Always back up
REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)

slowly.
. The system is designed as an aid
to the driver in showing large
stationary objects directly behind
the vehicle, to help avoid dama-
ging the vehicle.
. The distance guide line and the
vehicle width line should be used
as a reference only when the
vehicle is on a level paved sur-
face. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual
distance between the vehicle and
displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front
of the camera.
The RearView Monitor system automati-
cally shows a rear view of the vehicle
when the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position.
The radio can still be heard while the
RearView Monitor is active.
JVH1585X
To display the rear view, the RearView
Monitor system uses a camera located
just above the vehicle’s license plate
.
REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM OP-
ERATION
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ACC or ON position, move the shift lever
to the R (Reverse) position to operate the
RearView Monitor.

width and distances to objects with
reference to the bumper line
are
displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
. Red line
: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines

Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-9

4-38Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
contribute in a small part to global
warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your vehicle’s
air conditioner. Using improper refriger-
ants or lubricants will cause severe da-
mage to the air conditioner system. (See
“Air conditioning system refrigerant and
lubricant recommendations” (P.10-6).)
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioner system.
In-cabin microfilter
The air conditioner system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter. To make sure
the air conditioner heats, defogs, and
ventilates efficiently, replace the filter
according the specified maintenance in-
tervals listed in the "9. Maintenance and
schedules" section. It is recommended to
visit a NISSAN dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow
decreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and push the FM·AM button to
turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio
with the engine not running, the ignition
switch should be placed in the ACC
position.
Radio reception is affected by station
signal strength, distance from radio
transmitter, buildings, bridges, mountains
and other external influences. Intermit-
tent changes in reception quality nor-
mally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception:
Your vehicle 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 charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristicsare completely normal in a given recep-
tion area, and do not indicate any mal-
function in your vehicle radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect
your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices
may cause interference or a buzzing
noise to come from the audio system
speakers. Storing the device in a different
location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.
AUDIO SYSTEM

SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
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, exhibit-
ing 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, thesignals will tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with 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 re-
sponse.
Multipath reception: Because of the re-
flective characteristics of FM signals, di-
rect 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 fre-
quency, can bend around objects and
skip along the ground. In addition, the
signals can be bounced off the iono-
sphere and bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics. AM signals are
also subject to interference as they travel
from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is pas-
sing through freeway underpasses or in
areas with many tall buildings. It can also
occur for several seconds during iono-
spheric turbulence even in areas where
no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electri- 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 away from any
metal or large buildings 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.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
