The heater is controlled by a thermo-
stat, automatically turning the heater
on and off. The indicator light will
remain on as long as the switch is on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed,
or before you leave the vehicle, be
sure to turn off the switch.
SIC2771
The climate controlled seat warms up or
cools down the front seats by blowing
warm or cool air from the surface of the
seat. The switches located on the center
console can be operated independently
of each other.
The surface temperature of the climate
controlled seats is automatically con-
trolled at an optimum temperature. How-
ever, adjust the temperature using the
control knob if the seats are too hot or
cold.
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the control knob
to the heat
sideor to the cool side. The
indicator lighton the control knob will illuminate.
3. Adjust the desired amount of the air using the control knob
.
4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed or cooled, and/or before you leave the
vehicle, be sure to turn the control
knob to the OFF position (center). The
indicator light
on the control knob
goes off at the OFF position.
The climate controlled seat has air
filters. If the climate controlled seat is
not functioning properly, it may indi-
cate the air filters may be clogged. To
check the air filters for the climate
controlled seat, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the climate controlled seat if you or
the occupants cannot monitor seat
temperatures or have an inability to
feel pain in those body parts in
contact with the seat. Use of the
climate controlled seats by such
people could result in serious injury.

CAUTION
.Do not place objects in front of
the intake inlets located behind
and under the front seat. Doing
so could cause improper opera-
tion or interruption of the opera-
tion.
. The battery could run down if the
climate controlled seat is oper-
ated while the engine is not run-
ning.
. Do not use the climate controlled
seat for extended periods or
when no one is using the seat.
. Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a
blanket, cushion, seat cover, etc.
Otherwise, the seat may become
overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or
heavy on the seat or pierce it with
a pin or similar object. This may
result in damage to the climate
controlled seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat
should be removed immediately
with a dry cloth. .
The climate controlled seat has
air filters. Do not operate the
climate controlled seat without
the air filters. This may result in
damage to the system.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar
materials.
. If any malfunctions are found or
the climate controlled seat does
not operate, turn the switch off
and have the system checked. It
is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
SSD1161
The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
illuminate.

VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SETTINGS
(models with navigation system)
DOT (Department Of Transportation)
Quality Grades: All passenger car tires
must conform to federal safety require-
ments in addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where ap-
plicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum section
width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Tempera-
ture A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as
well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart sig-
nificantly from the norm due to variations
in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and
climate.
TRACTION AA, A, B AND C
The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead brak-
ing traction tests, and does not
include acceleration, cornering, hy-
droplaning, or peak traction charac-
teristics.
TEMPERATURE A, B AND C
The temperature grades A (the highest),
B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance
to the generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under con-
trolled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the material of
the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corre-
sponds to a level of performance whichall passenger car tires must meet under
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Exces-
sive speed, under-inflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat build-
up and possible tire failure.
