1. Fan control dial

2. Temperature control dial

3. Air flow control dial

4. Air recirculation button

5. Air conditioner button

WARNING

쐌 The air conditioner cooling function

operates only when the engine is

running.

쐌 Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the support

of others alone in your vehicle. Pets

should not be left alone either. On

hot, sunny days, temperatures in a

closed vehicle could quickly become

high enough to cause severe or pos-

sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-

mals.

쐌 Using the recirculation mode for long

periods may cause the interior air to

become stale and the windows to fog

up.

쐌 Changing heating or air conditioning

controls should not be done while

driving so that full attention may be

given to vehicle operation.

— Air flows from defroster outlets.

Air recirculation button :

Off position:

Outside air is drawn into the passenger com-

partment.

Use the off position for normal heater, or air

conditioner operation.

If dust is not raised in front of the vehicle, this

position is effective to prevent dust entry.

On position (Indicator light on):

Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle.

Push the air recirculation button to the on posi-

tion when driving on a dust raised road or to

avoid traffic fumes.

Air conditioner button :

Start the engine, move the fan control dial to the

desired (1 to 4) position and push the air

conditioner button to turn on the air conditioner.

The indicator light will come on when the air

conditioner button is on. To stop the air condi-

tioner, push the switch again to return it to the

original position.

The air conditioner cooling function oper-

ates only when the engine is running.

Heater operation

This mode is used to direct hot air from the floor

outlets.

1. Push the air recirculation button to the OFF

position for normal heating.

2. Turn the air control dial to the

position.

3. Turn on the fan control dial.

4. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-

sired position between the middle and the

hot position.

쐌 For quick heating, move the air recirculation

button to the ON position. Be sure to return

the air recirculation button to the OFF posi-

tion for normal heating.

쐌 For quick cooling when the outside tempera-

ture is high, push the air recirculation button

to the ON position. Be sure to return the air

recirculation button to the OFF position for

normal cooling.

Dehumidified heating :

This mode is used to heat and dehumidify.

1. Push the air recirculation button to the OFF

position.

2. Turn the air control dial to the

position.

3. Turn on the fan control dial.

Operating tips :

쐌 Keep windows closed while the air condi-

tioner is in operation.

쐌 After parking in the sun, drive for two or three

minutes with the windows open to vent hot air

from the passenger compartment. Then,

close the windows. This will allow the air

conditioner to cool the interior more quickly.

쐌 The air conditioning system should be

operated for about ten minutes at least

once a month. This helps prevent dam-

age to the system due to lack of lubri-

cation.

쐌 If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the

hot position, turn the air conditioner off. For

additional information, see “If your vehicle

overheats” in the “6. In case of emergency”

section.

In-cabin microfilter

The air conditioning system is equipped with an

in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,

dust, etc. To make sure air conditioner heats,

defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace the

filter regularly. To replace the filter, contact your

NISSAN dealer.

The filter should be replaced if air flow is

extremely decreased or when windows fog

up easily during operating heater or air

conditioning system.

high enough to cause severe or pos-

sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-

mals.

쐌 Using the recirculation mode for long

periods may cause the interior air to

Automatic operation (AUTO)

Start the engine and operate the controls to

activate the air conditioner.

Cooling and/or dehumidified heating :

This mode may be normally used all year round

as the system automatically works to keep a

constant temperature. Air flow distribution and

fan speed are also controlled automatically.

1. Turn the fan control dial and air flow control

dial to the AUTO position.

Then push the A/C button on. (The indicator

light will come on.)

2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the

desired temperature.

쐌 Adjust the temperature set dial to about 24°C

(75°F) for normal operation.

쐌 The temperature of the passenger compart-

ment will be maintained automatically. Air

flow distribution and fan speed are also con-

trolled automatically.

Heating (A/C OFF) :

The air conditioner does not activate. When you

need to heat only, use this mode.

1. Turn the fan control dial and air flow control

dial to the AUTO position.

Then push the A/C button off. (The A/C

button indicator light will go off.)

2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the

desired temperature.

쐌 The temperature of the passenger compart-

ment will be maintained automatically. Air

flow distribution and fan speed are also con-

trolled automatically.

쐌 Do not set the temperature lower than the

outside air temperature. Otherwise the sys-

tem may not work properly.

쐌 Not recommended if windows fog up.

Dehumidified defrosting or defogging :

1. Turn the fan control dial to the desired posi-

tion.

2. Turn the air flow control dial to the

(DEF) position.

3. Turn the temperature control dial to set the

desired temperature.

쐌 To quickly remove ice from the outside of the

windows, turn the fan control dial to the

maximum position.

쐌 As soon as possible after the windshield is

clean, turn the air flow control dial to the

AUTO position to return to the auto mode.

쐌 When the air flow control dial is turned to the

or position, the air conditioner

will automatically be turned on at outside

temperatures above −5°C (23°F) to defog

the windshield, and the air recirculation mode

will automatically be turned off.

Outside air is drawn into the passenger

compartment to improve the defogging per-

formance.

Manual operation

Fan speed control :

Turn the fan control dial

to manually con-

trol the fan speed.

Turn the dial to the AUTO position to return to

automatic control of the fan speed.

Intake air control (Air recirculation/Fresh

air) :

Each time the air intake button is pushed, the

indicator light on the button will alternate be-

tween

(Air recirculation) and

(Fresh air).

When the

indicator light is on, the interior

air is recirculated. When the air recirculation

mode is selected with the A/C indicator off while

the fan control dial is in the AUTO position, the

air conditioner will turn on.

When the

indicator light is on, the outside

air is drawn into the passenger compartment.

쐌 When the air intake button is pushed for

longer than 1.5 seconds, both indicator lights

(

and ) will flash twice, and then

the intake air will be controlled automatically.

During this AUTO mode, the indicator light of

the currently selected mode illuminates.

쐌 When the air flow control dial is in the

or position, the air recirculation

mode does not activate.

Air flow control :

Turning the air flow control dial selects the air

outlet to:

: Air flows from center and side ventila-

tors.

: Air flows from center and side ventila-

tors and foot outlets.

: Air flows mainly from foot outlets.

: Air flows from defroster and foot out-

lets.

: Air flows mainly from defroster outlets.

Temperature control :

Turn the temperature control dial to set the

desired temperature. The temperature range is

between 18°C (65°F) and 32°C (85°F).

To turn the system off :

Turn the fan control dial to the OFF position.

Operating tips :

When the engine coolant temperature and out-

side air temperature are low, the air flow from the

foot outlets may not operate for a maximum of

150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.

After the coolant temperature warms up, the air

flow from the foot outlets will operate normally.
