2. Turn the temperature control dial to thelef t or the right to set the desired tem-
perature. Driver and passenger tem-
peratures can be set independently.
Press the DUAL button to activate dual
climate control functions. Turn the pas-
senger’s side temperature control dial
to the lef t or right to set the desired
passenger’s temperature.
• The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
are also controlled automatically.
• Do not set the temperature lower than the outside air temperature. Otherwise,
the system may not work properly.
• Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or
defogging
1. Press thedefroster control button
to turn the system on. The indicator light
in the button will illuminate.
2. The fan will automatically change to blower speed 5. Blower speed can be
changed by pressing the
fan speed
control button. Increase the fan to 6
or 7 for more aggressive defogging
performance. 3. Turn the temperature dial to the lef t or
right to set the desired temperature.
• To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, press the
fan speed
control button to the maximum position.
• As soon as possible af ter the windshield is clean, press the AUTO button to return
to the auto mode.
• When the
control is activated, the air
conditioner will automatically be turned
on. This dehumidifies the air which helps
defog the windshield. Under this condi-
tion, the indicator light on the A/C button
indicator will not turn on if the user had
selected A/C off prior to entering this
mode. Turning off the air condition via the
A/C button is not allowed in this mode.
If the A/C button indicator was on when
entering this mode, and the A/C button is
selected in this mode, the A/C compres-
sor will still be automatically enabled.
The air recirculation mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging perfor-
mance.
Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate
controls and Remote Engine Start function
may go into automatic heating or cooling
mode when Remote Engine Start is acti-
vated depending on outside and cabin
temperatures. During this period, the cli-
mate control display and buttons will be
inoperable until the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. In Remote
Engine Start defrosting mode, the outside
mirror defroster (if so equipped) and
heated steering wheel (if so equipped) may
be activated automatically.
Voice Recognition logic (if so
equipped)
When the climate control system is on, the
front and rear (if so equipped) fan speeds
may be automatically lowered so that
commands are more easily recognized.
Fan speed can be adjusted using the
fan speed
decrease andin-
crease buttons, if desired.
4-40Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
In preparation for the next engine start, the
engine may have a slightly delayed shutoff
af ter placing the ignition switch in the
OFF position, depending on the driving
conditions.
NOTE:
The engine would NOT start within 3 sec-
onds of turning the engine off.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations
that can lead to potential battery dis-
charge and potential no-start conditions
such as:
1. Installation or extended use of elec-tronic accessories that consume bat-
tery power when the engine is not
running (phone chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.).
2. The vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to
be charged to maintain battery health.
REMOTE ENGINE START (if so
equipped)
Vehicles started with the Remote Engine
Start require the ignition switch to be
placed in the ON position before the shif t
lever can be moved from the P (Park) posi-
tion. To place the ignition switch in the ON
position, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is on you.
2. Apply the brake.
3. Push the ignition switch once to the ON position.
For additional information, see “NISSAN In-
telligent Key®” (P. 3-2).
ENGINE PROTECTION MODE
The engine has an engine protection mode
to reduce the chance of damage if the cool-
ant temperature becomes too high (for ex-
ample, when climbing steep grades in high
temperatures with heavy loads, such as
when towing a trailer). When the engine tem-
perature reaches a certain level:
• The engine coolant temperature gauge will move toward the H position.
• Engine power may be reduced.
• The air conditioning cooling function may be automatically turned off for a short
time (the blower will continue to operate).
Engine power and, under some conditions,
vehicle speed will decrease. Vehicle speed
can be controlled with the accelerator pedal,
but the vehicle may not accelerate at the
desired speed. The transmission will down-
shif t or upshif t as it reaches prescribed shif t
points. You can also shif t manually.
As driving conditions change and engine
coolant temperature is reduced, vehicle
speed can be increased using the accel-
erator pedal, and the air conditioning cool-
ing function will automatically be turned
back on.
