Automatic operation
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO):
This mode may be used all year round as
the system automatically works to keep a
constant temperature. Air flow distribu-
tion and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
1. Push the AUTO button on. (The in-
dicator light on the button will illumi-
nate.) 2. Turn the temperature control dial on
the corresponding side to set the
desired temperature.
.You can individually set tempera-tures for the driver’s side and front
passenger’s side when the indica-
tor light on the SYNC button is not
illuminated.
A visible mist may be seen coming from
the ventilators in hot, humid conditions as
the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
Heating (A/C OFF):
The air conditioner does not activate in
this mode. Use this mode when you only
need to heat.
1. Push the AUTO button on. (The in- dicator light on the button will illumi-
nate.)
2. Push the A/C button. (The indicator light will turn off.)
3. Turn the temperature control dial on the corresponding side to set the
desired temperature.
.You can individually set tempera-
tures for the driver’s side and front
passenger’s side when the indica-
tor light on the SYNC button is not
illuminated.

.The temperature of the passengercompartment will be maintained
automatically. Air flow distribution
and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
NOTE:
. Do not set the temperature lower
than the outside air temperature or
the system may not work properly.
. Not recommended if windows fog
up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging:
1. Push the
button. (The indicator
light on the button will come on.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial on the corresponding side to set the
desired temperature.
.To quickly remove ice from theoutside of the windows, use the
button to set the fan speed to
maximum.
.As soon as possible after the wind- shield is clean, push the AUTO
button to return to the automatic
mode.
.When thebutton is pushed, the
air conditioner will automatically be
turned on at outside temperatures
more than slightly above freezing.
The air recirculation mode auto-
matically turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn into the passenger
compartment to further improve
the defogging performance.
Manual operation
Fan speed control:
Push the
buttons to manually control
the fan speed.
Air intake control:
. Push the
button to recirculate
interior air inside the vehicle. The
indicator light on the button will come
on.
. Push the
button to draw outside
air into the passenger compartment.
The indicator light on the button will
come on.
. To control the air intake automatically,
push and hold either the
button
or thebutton. The indicator light
will blink, and then the air intake will
switch to automatic control. When the
automatic control is set, the system
automatically alternates between the
outside air circulation and the air
recirculation modes. (The indicator
light of the active mode will turn on.) Air flow control:
Pushing the
button manually con-
trols air flow and selects the air outlet:
— Air flows mainly from center and side
ventilators.
— Air flows mainly from center and sideventilators and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from the foot outletand partly from the defroster.
— Air flows mainly from the defrosterand foot outlets.
Synchronize temperature settings:
Push the SYNC button to turn on the
SYNC mode. (The indicator light on the
button will turn on.)
When the SYNC mode is active, the
driver’s side temperature control dial will
control the driver’s side, front passenger’s
side and rear temperatures.
When the passenger’s side temperature
control dial or the rear temperature
control buttons are operated, it will can-
cel the SYNC mode of the individual zone.
(The indicator light on the SYNC button
will remain on.)
Operating both the passenger’s side
temperature control dial and the rear
temperature control buttons will turn off
the SYNC mode. (The indicator light on
the SYNC button will turn off.) (See “Rear

Rear temperature control (if so
equipped)
You can adjust the temperature for rear
seat passengers using the buttons lo-
cated on the back side of the console box.
Remote engine start logic
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.3-19).)

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 be
limited when in the automatic mode.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
For rear temperature control (if so
equipped):
.The purpose of the rear temperature
control is to vary the temperature of
the rear airflow.
. The amount of airflow to the rear
ventilators is primarily controlled by
the front passenger’s blower and
mode settings.
. The amount of airflow to the rear
ventilators is also affected by the rear
temperature setting. Higher rear tem-
perature settings have lower airflow
amounts than cooler temperature
settings. This condition ensures better
comfort to the head and face area,
while primary heating for the rear
passenger seats is provided through
the foot outlets.

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 may
contribute 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.10-7).)
Page 253 of 556

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.
SHARK FIN ANTENNA
The shark fin antenna is located on the
rear part of the vehicle roof.
The radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the radio
signal. If possible, do not put cargo near
the shark fin antenna.
A build up of ice on the shark fin antenna
can affect radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore radio reception.When installing a car phone or a CB radio
in your vehicle, be sure to observe the
following precautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the elec-
tronic control modules and electronic
control system harness.
WARNING
.
A cellular phone should not be
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
wire next to any harness.
. Adjust the antenna standing-
wave ratio as recommended by
the manufacturer.
. Connect the ground wire from the
CB radio chassis to the body.
. For details, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.
