WARNING

∙ The air conditioner cooling function

operates only when the engine is
running.

∙ Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.

∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for

long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

Start the engine and operate the controls
to activate the air conditioner.

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. After 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 vent
outlets for a maximum of 15 seconds.
This is not a malfunction. After the initial
warm air is expelled, the intake will re-
turn to automatic control, air flow outlet
will return to previous settings, and op-
eration will continue normally. To exit,
press any climate control 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 feet vents
for just a moment. This is not a mal-
function.

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de-
signed with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the
earth’s ozone layer.

Special charging equipment and lubricant
is required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. For additional
information, refer to “Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations”
in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioner system.

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced

technician

with

proper

equipment.

RADIO

With the ignition placed in the ACC or ON
position, press the

POWER button to

turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio
with the engine not running, the ignition
should be placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes
in reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.

Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception qual-
ity.

Radio reception

Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.

However, there are some general charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception

area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.

Reception

conditions

will

constantly

change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and inter-
ference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.

Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.

FM RADIO RECEPTION

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 –
30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range
than stereo FM. External influences may
sometimes interfere with FM station re-
ception even if the FM station is within 25
mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is
directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals fol-
low a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of
the same characteristics as light. For ex-
ample, they will reflect off objects.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER

AUDIO SYSTEM

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

4-23

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.

Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position (usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter), static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the treble
control to reduce treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.

AM RADIO RECEPTION

AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics,
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur

for several seconds during ionospheric tur-
bulence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.

SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped)

When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than
10 minutes with satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large build-
ing for satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.

No satellite radio reception is available and
“NO SAT” is displayed when the SAT band
option is selected unless optional satellite
receiver and antenna are installed and a
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio service subscrip-
tion is active. Satellite radio is not available
in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.

Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo over the satel-
lite antenna.

A build up of ice on the satellite radio an-
tenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

mal.

UNPLAYABLE

The file is unplayable in this audio
system (only MP3 or WMA (if so
equipped) CD).

Compact disc with MP3 or WMA

Terms

∙ MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures

Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital
audio file format. This format allows for
near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction
of the size of normal audio files. MP3
conversion of an audio track from CD-
ROM can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio with virtually no per-
ceptible

loss

quality.

MP3

compression removes the redundant
and irrelevant parts of a sound signal
that the human ear doesn’t hear.

∙ WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is

a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling stor-
age of more digital audio tracks in the
same amount of space when com-
pared to MP3s at the same level of qual-
ity.

∙ Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number

of bits per second used by a digital mu-
sic file. The size and quality of a com-
pressed digital audio file is determined
by the bit rate used when encoding the
file.

∙ Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-

quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.

∙ Multisession — Multisession is one of

the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.

∙ ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the

part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title, art-
ist, encoding bit rate, track time dura-
tion, etc. ID3 tag information is displayed
on the Artist/song title line on the dis-
play.

Troubleshooting guide

Symptom

Cause and Countermeasure

Cannot play

Check if the disc was inserted correctly.

Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

Check if there is condensation inside the player. If there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the player.

If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.

If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be played.

Files with extensions other than “.MP3”,“.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and number of char-
acters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.

Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.

Check if the disc is protected by copyright.

Poor sound quality

Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

Bit rate may be too low.

It takes a relatively long
time before the music
starts playing.

If there are many folders or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or if it is a multisession disc, some time may be required before the music
starts playing.

Music cuts off or skips

The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.

Skipping with high bit
rate files

Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.

Moves immediately to
the next song when play-
ing

When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, .“mp3”or “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by copyright
protection, there will be approximately 5 seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the next song.

Songs do not play back
in the desired order

The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software. Therefore, the files might not play in the de-
sired order.
