.When the DUAL indicator light is notilluminated, pushing the DUAL but-
ton (the indicator light will turn on)
allows the user to independently
change the driver and passenger
side temperatures with the corre-
sponding temperature control dial.
.To cancel the separate tempera-ture setting, push the DUAL button
(the indicator light will turn off) and
the driver’s side temperature
setting will be applied to both the
driver and passenger sides.
The temperature of the passenger
compartment will be maintained
automatically. Air flow distribution
and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
A visible mist may be seen coming
from the ventilators in hot and humid
conditions as the air is cooled rapidly.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Dehumidified defrosting/defogging:
1. Push the front defroster
button
(The indicator light on the front
defroster
button will illuminate).
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
. To quickly remove frost from the out-
side surface of the windshield, set the
temperature and the fan speed to the maximum levels.
. After the windshield is cleared, push
the AUTO button (the AUTO indicator
light will turn on).
. When the front defroster
button is
pushed, the air conditioner will turn on
when the outside air temperature is
above approximately 36°F (2°C) to
defog the windshield. The air recircu-
lation mode will automatically turn off.
The outside air circulation mode will
be selected to improve the defogging
performance.
Do not set the temperature too low when
the front defroster mode is on (the
indicator light is illuminated), because
doing so may fog up the windshield.
Manual operation
The manual mode can be used to control
the heater and air conditioner to your
desired settings.
Fan speed control:
Push the fan speed control button (
side orside) to manually control the
fan speed.
Push the AUTO button to change the fan
speed to the automatic mode.
Air flow control:
Push the MODE button to select the
desired mode:
— Air flows mainly from the center and side ventilators.
— Air flows mainly from the center andside ventilators and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from the foot outletand partly from the defroster.
— Air flows mainly from the frontdefroster outlets and foot outlets.
Temperature control:
Turn the temperature control dial to set
the desired temperature.
.When the DUAL indicator light is not
illuminated, pushing the DUAL button
(the indicator light will turn on) allows
the user to independently change the
driver and passenger side tempera-
tures with the corresponding tem-
perature control dial.
Also turning the passenger’s side
temperature control dial changes only
the front passenger’s side tempera-
ture. (The DUAL indicator light will
illuminate and DUAL will appear on
the display.)
. To cancel the separate temperature
setting, push the DUAL button (the
indicator light will turn off) and the
driver’s side temperature setting will
be applied to both the driver and
passenger sides.

Air intake control:
.Push the air recirculation
button
to recirculate interior air inside the
vehicle. The indicator light on the
button will come on.
The air recirculation cannot be acti-
vated when the air conditioner is in
the front defrosting mode.
. Push the outside air circulation
button to draw outside air into the
passenger compartment. The indica-
tor light on the button will come on.
. To control the air intake automatically,
push and hold either the air recircula-
tion
button or the outside air
circulationbutton (whichever but-
ton with the indicator light illumi-
nated). The indicator lights (both air
recirculation
and outside air cir-
culationbuttons) will flash twice,
and then the air intake will switch to
automatic control. When the auto-
matic control is set, the system auto-
matically alternates between the
outside air circulation and the air
recirculation modes. (The indicator
light of the active mode will turn on.)
NOTE:
Even if the system is manually set to the
air recirculation mode, when both out-
side temperature and coolant tempera-
ture are low, the system may automatically switch to the outside air
circulation mode.
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.3-23).)

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 maycontribute 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.SAA2374

used for any purpose while driv-
ing so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation. Some juris-
dictions prohibit the use of cellu-
lar phones while driving.
. If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-
free cellular phone operational
mode (if so equipped) is highly
recommended. Exercise extreme
caution at all times so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle
operation.
. If a conversation in a moving
vehicle requires you to take
notes, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle
before doing so.
CAUTION
.Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic con-
trol modules.
. Keep the antenna wire more than
8 in (20 cm) away from the
electronic control system har-
ness. Do not route the antenna

5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gas; it
contains colorless and odorless
carbon monoxide. Carbon mon- oxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive
with all windows fully open, and
have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for an extended
period of time.
. Keep the liftgate closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gas
could be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment. If you must
drive with the liftgate open, fol-
low these precautions:
— Open all the windows.
— Turn the air recirculation
mode off and set the fan
speed control to the highest
level to circulate the air.
. If a special body or other equip-
ment is added for recreational or
other usage, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendation to pre-
vent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle. (Some recreational
vehicle appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a quali-
fied mechanic whenever:
— Your vehicle is raised while
being serviced.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the
passenger compartment.
— You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
— You have had an accident involving damage to the ex-
haust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures
to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
. The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals and flammable materials
