WARNING
∙ To avoid personal injury, keep yourhands, fingers and head away from
the sunshade arm, the arm rail and
sunshade inlet port.
∙ Do not allow children near the rear sunshade system. They could be
injured.
∙ Do not place objects on or near the rear sunshade. This could cause im-
proper operation or damage it.
∙ Do not pull or push the rear sunshade. This could cause improper operation
or damage it.
CAUTION
∙ Do not place objects (such as newspa-pers, handkerchiefs, etc.) on the sun-
shade inlet port. Doing so may en-
tangle these objects in the sunshade
when it is extending or retracting,
causing improper operation or dam-
age to the sunshade.
∙ Do not push the sunshade arm with your hands, etc., as this may deform it.
Improper operation or damage to the
sunshade may result. ∙ Do not put any object into the sun-
shade inlet port as this may result in
improper operation or damage the
sunshade.
∙ Do not hang any object on the arm rail as this may result in improper opera-
tion or damage the sunshade.
∙ Do not forcefully pull the sunshade. Doing so may elongate the sunshade.
Improper operation or damage to the
sunshade may result.
Restarting the sunshade switch
If the sunshade does not operate properly,
perform the following procedure to initial-
ize the sunshade operation system. 1. Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position.
2. Push and hold the sunshade close switch.
3. Sunshade will begin moving towards the close position only while the switch
is continually held. (this disables the ob-
stacle detection).
4. Sunshade will stop for about 4 sec- onds. 5. Sunshade drive cable will travel in the
open direction for .394 in. (10 mm) then
reverse direction and stop at the nor-
mal close position.
6. Release the sunshade close switch. Ini- tialization procedure is complete.
If the moonroof does not operate properly
af ter performing the procedure above,
have your vehicle serviced. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Auto-reverse function (when closing
the sunshade)
The auto-reverse function can be acti-
vated when the sunshade is closed by au-
tomatic operation when the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position or for a period
of time af ter the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driv-
ing conditions, the auto-reverse func-
tion may be activated if an impact or
load similar to something being caught
in the sunshade occurs.
Instruments and controls2-71
OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the top
driver’s side of the instrument panel, helps
the system maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.∙ When the climate system is in auto-
matic operation and the engine coolant
temperature and outside air tempera-
ture are low, the air flow outlet may de-
fault to defroster mode for a maximum
of 2 minutes 30 seconds. This is not a
malfunction. Af ter the engine coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow out-
let will return to foot mode and opera-
tion will continue normally.
∙ When the outside and interior cabin temperatures are moderate to high, the
intake setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may oc-
cur when the previous climate setting
was turned off. This is not a malfunction.
Af ter the initial warm air is expelled, the
intake will return to automatic control,
the air flow outlet will return to previous
settings, and operation will continue
normally. To exit, press any climate con-
trol button. ∙ Keep the moonroof (if so equipped)
closed while the air conditioner is in op-
eration.
∙ If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is
coming out do not match, select
the
mode.
∙ When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the foot out-
lets for just a moment. This is not a
malfunction.

CAUTION
∙ Never use benzine, thinner or anysimilar material.
∙ Small dirt particles can be abrasive and damaging to leather surfaces
and should be removed promptly. Do
not use saddle soap, car waxes, pol-
ishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents,
detergents or ammonia-based clean-
ers as they may damage the leather’s
natural finish.
∙ Never use fabric protectors unless recommended by the manufacturer.
∙ Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on meter or gauge lens covers. It may
damage the lens cover.
AIR FRESHENERS
Most air fresheners use a solvent that
could affect the vehicle interior. If you use
an air freshener, take the following precau-
tions:
∙ Hanging-type air fresheners can cause permanent discoloration when they
contact vehicle interior surfaces. Place
the air freshener in a location that al-
lows it to hang free and not contact an
interior surface. ∙ Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip
on the vents. These products can cause
immediate damage and discoloration
when spilled on interior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufactur-
er’s instructions before using the air fresh-
eners.
POWER MOONROOF (if so
equipped)
The sunshade is made from a tricot mate-
rial.
CAUTION
To help prevent damaging the moon-
roof while cleaning:
∙ Do not rub the material with a cloth. Doing so can damage the surface of
the material or cause a stain to
spread.
∙ Never use benzine, thinner or any similar chemical to clean the sun-
shade. This may discolor the moon-
roof and damage the surface. ∙ Clean water based stains by patting
the surface with a clean sof t cloth
dampened in warm water. Press a
clean dry cloth onto the surface to re-
move as much dampness as possible
and then let air dry.
∙ Clean oil based stains by patting the surface with a clean sof t cloth damp-
ened in warm water. Press a clean dry
cloth onto the surface to remove as
much dampness as possible and then
let air dry.
