OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate. This is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air
will flow normally from the foot outlets.
The sensors
andon the instrument
panel helps maintain a constant tem-
perature. Do not put anything on or
around this sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The air conditioning system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, pollen, dust, etc. To make sure the air
conditioner heats, defogs, and ventilates
efficiently, replace the filter in accordance
with the specified maintenance intervals
listed in the “9. Maintenance and sche-
dules” section. It is recommended to see a
NISSAN dealer to replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if air flow
is extremely decreased or when win-
dows fog up easily when operating
heater or air conditioning system.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
The air conditioning system in your
NISSAN is charged with a refrigerant
designed with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioning system. (See “Capa-
cities and recommended fluids/lubri-
cants” (P.10-2) for air conditioning
system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.)
Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioning system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant un-
der high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with the proper
equipment.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio
Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
ignition switch should be pushed to 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 NISSAN 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 NISSAN 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.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) 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, the
Center display, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-37
AUDIO SYSTEM

4-38Center display, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
signals 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 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.

WMA/AAC) (if so equipped)
Explanation of terms:
.MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pic-
tures Experts Group Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is the most well known com-
pressed digital audio file format. This
format allows for near “CD quality”
sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of
an audio track can reduce the file size
by approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sam-
pling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality.
The compression reduces certain
parts of sound that seem inaudible
to most people.
. WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created
by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3.
The WMA codec offers greater file
compression than the MP3 codec,
enabling storage of more digital audio
tracks in the same amount of space
when compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.
This product is protected by certain
intellectual property rights of Micro-
soft Corporation and third parties. Use
or distribution of such technology
outside of this product is prohibited
without a license from Microsoft or an authorized Microsoft subsidiary and
third parties.
. AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smal-
ler in size and deliver a higher quality
of sound than MP3.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the
samples of a signal are converted
from analog to digital (A/D conver-
sion) per second.
. Multisession — Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to med-
ia. Writing data once to the media is
called a single session, and writing
more than once is called a multises-
sion.
. ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA
file that contains information about
the digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
