2020 NISSAN 370Z charging

When the engine oil temperature is
high, the engine protection mode,
which helps reduce the chance of en-
gine damage, could activate and auto-
matically decrease engine power.
Voltmeter
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the volt meterindicates
the battery voltage. When the engine is
running, it indicates the generator vol-
tage.
While cranking the engine, the volts drop
below the normal range. If the needle is
not in the normal range (11 to 15 volts)
while the engine is running, it may
indicate that the charging system is not
functioning properly. Have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Clock
If necessary, adjust the clockon the
vehicle information display. (See “Clock”
(P.2-28).)
If the power supply is disconnected, the
clock will not indicate the correct time.
Readjust the time.

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.
