2018 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN audio

∙ To quickly remove ice or fog from the
windows, turn the
fan control dial
to the maximum position and the tem-
perature control dial to the full hot posi-
tion.
When the
orposition is se-
lected, press the
button to turn on
the air conditioner for better performance.
This will dehumidif y the air and help defog
the windows.
NOTE:
Side vents should direct air flow towards
the front side windows to improve de-
fogging performance.
Bi-level heating
This mode directs cooler air from the side
and center vents and warmer air from the
floor outlets. When the temperature con-
trol dial is moved to the full hot or full cool
position, the air between the vents and the
floor outlets is the same temperature.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.2. Turn the air flow control dial to
the
position.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the
desired position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to
the desired position.
Heating and defogging
This mode heats the interior and defogs
the windshield.

Operating tips
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades
and air inlet in front of the windshield.
This improves heater operation.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION
Start the engine, turn thefan control
dial to the desired position, and press
the
button to activate the air condi-
tioner. When the air conditioner is on, cool-
ing and dehumidif ying functions are
added to the heater operation.
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
Cooling
This mode is used to cool and dehumidif y
the air.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.
2. Turn the air flow control dial to
the
position.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the
desired position.
4. Press the
button. The indicator
light comes on.5. Turn the temperature control dial to
the desired position.
∙ For quick cooling when the outside
temperature is high, move the air intake
lever to the
position. Be sure to re-
turn to the
position for normal
cooling.
Dehumidified heating
This mode is used to heat and dehumidif y
the air.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.
2. Turn the air flow control dial to
the
position.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the
desired position.
4. Press the
button. The indicator
light comes on.
5. Turn the temperature control dial to
the desired position.
Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows
and dehumidif y the air.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.2. Turn the air flow control dial to
the
position.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the
desired position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to
the desired position.
Operating tips
∙ Keep the windows closed while the air
conditioner 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.

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de-
signed with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the
earth’s ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
is required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. For additional
information, refer to “Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations”
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 conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper
equipment.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the ON•OFF or
(power) button to turn the radio on. If you
listen to the radio with the engine not run-
ning, the ignition switch should be placed in
the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes
in reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception qual-
ity.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
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 characteristics
are completely normal in a given receptionarea and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and inter-
ference 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.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 –
30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range
than stereo FM. External influences may
sometimes interfere with FM station re-
ception even if the FM station is within 25
mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is
directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals fol-
low a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of
the same characteristics as light. For ex-
ample, they will reflect off objects.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER AUDIO SYSTEM
4-16Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

Fade and drif t: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drif t.
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 adjusting the treble
control to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary 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 be
bounced off the ionosphere 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 passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occurfor several seconds during ionospheric tur-
bulence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
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 replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than
10 minutes with satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large build-
ing for satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available un-
less there is an active SiriusXM® Satellite
Radio service subscription. Satellite radio is
not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam. If
satellite radio is not operational then
pressing the FM•AM button will switch be-
tween FM and AM bands.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.If possible, do not put cargo over the satel-
lite antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio an-
tenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
