WARNING
.
The distance guide lines and the
vehicle width lines should be
used as a reference only when
the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The distance viewed on
the monitor is for reference only
and may be different than the
actual distance between the ve-
hicle and displayed objects.
. Use the displayed lines and the
bird’s-eye view as a reference.
The lines and the bird’s-eye view
are greatly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehi-
cle position, road condition and
road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with
different sized tires, the predic-
tive course lines and the bird’s-
eye view may be displayed incor-
rectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are

NOTE:
.When the monitor displays the front
view and the steering wheel turns
about 90 degrees or less from the
straight ahead position, both the
right and left predictive course lines
are displayed. When the steering
wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, the predictive course line is
displayed only on the opposite side
of the turn.
JVH1037X
Bird’s-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle which helps confirm
the vehicle position and the predicted
course to a parking space.
The vehicle icon
shows the position of
the vehicle. Note that the distance be-
tween objects viewed in the bird’s-eye
view differs from the actual distance.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
are indicated in black.
After the ignition switch is placed in the
ACC or ON position, the non-viewable
area
is highlighted in yellow for a few
seconds after the bird’s-eye view is dis-
played. In addition, the non-viewable corners are
displayed in red (blinking for the first few
seconds)
to remind the driver to be
cautious.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird’s-eye view will
appear farther than the actual
distance.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or
vehicle, may be misaligned or not
displayed at the seam of the
views.
. Objects that are above the cam-
era cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird’s-eye view
may be misaligned when the
camera position alters.
. A line on the ground may be
misaligned and is not seen as
being straight at the seam of the
views. The misalignment will in-
crease as the line proceeds away
from the vehicle.

WARNING
.The heater and air conditioner
operate only when the engine is
running.
. Never leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in the
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or con-
trols and inadvertently become
involved in a serious accident
and injure themselves. On hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause
the interior air to become stale
and the windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driv-
ing so that full attention may be
given to vehicle 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
placed in the ON position.
NOTE:
.
Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
ventilators.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into
the passenger compartment. This
should help reduce odors inside the
vehicle.

To turn the system off:
To turn off the heater and air conditioner,
push the ON·OFF button.
Push the ON·OFF button again, the sys-
tem will turn on in the mode which was
used immediately before the system was
turned off.
Remote engine start logic (if so
equipped)
When the remote engine start function is
activated, the vehicles equipped with the
automatic air conditioner and heater may
go into automatic heating or cooling
mode depending on the outside and
cabin temperatures. During this period,
the display and the buttons will be
inoperable until the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. When the
temperature is low, the rear defroster
and the heated steering wheel (if so
equipped) may also be activated auto-
matically with the activation of the re-
mote engine start function. (See “Remote
engine start” (P.3-22).)

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
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 temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
The sensors
and, located on the
instrument panel, help maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around the sensors.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However, it may
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-37

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.
