SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER

The air conditioning system in your NISSAN vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm the earth's ozone layer. However, special charging equipment and lubricant are required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe damage to your air conditioning system. See "Capacities and recommended fuel/lubricants" in the "9. Technical and consumer information" section for air conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recommendations.

A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your environmentally friendly air conditioning system.

⚠ WARNING

The air conditioner system contains refrigerant under high pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air conditioner service should be done only by an experienced technician with proper equipment.

AUDIO SYSTEM

RADIO

Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and press the POWER, FM or AM button to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, the key should be turned to the ACC position.

Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, 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 vehicle may influence radio reception quality.

Radio reception

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

However there are some general characteristics of FM, AM and SAT (satellite — if so equipped) 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 radio system.

Remember that a moving vehicle is not the ideal place to listen to a radio. Because of the movement, reception conditions will constantly change. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and interference from other vehicles can work against ideal reception. Described below are some of the factors that can affect your radio reception.

4-12 Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio systems

MAXIMUM SIGNAL DISTANCES

● FM 25 to 30 mile (40 to 48 km) ● AM 60 to 130 mile (97 to 209 km)

SAA0306

FM RADIO RECEPTION

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

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 interference 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 counterclockwise to reduce treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflective 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 turbulence even in areas where no obstacles exist.

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

SATELLITE (SAT) RADIO RECEPTION (if so equipped)

When the satellite radio is first installed or the battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may not work properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with the satellite radio ON for the satellite radio to receive all of the necessary data.

No satellite radio reception is available when the SAT band option is selected unless optional satellite receiver and antenna are installed, and an XM® or SIRIUS™ satellite radio service subscription is active.

Satellite radio performance may be affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio signal.

If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite antenna.

Satellite radio is not available in Alaska and Hawaii.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

Compact Disc (CD) player

• During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the humidity. If this occurs, remove the CD and

Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio systems 4-13

dehumidify or ventilate the player completely.

• The player may skip while driving on rough roads.
• The CD player sometimes cannot function when the passenger compartment temperature is extremely high. Decrease the temperature before use.

SAA0480

• Only use high quality 4.7 inches (12 cm) round discs that have the “COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or packaging.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
• CDs that are of poor quality, dirty, scratched, covered with fingerprints, or that have pin holes may not work properly.
• The following CDs may not work properly:
  • Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
  • Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
  • Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
• Do not use the following CDs as they may cause the CD player to malfunction.
  • 3.1 in (8 cm) discs
  • CDs that are not round
  • CDs with a paper label
  • CDs that are warped, scratched, or have abnormal edges
• This audio system can only play prerecorded CDs. CDs with MP3 or WMA format cannot be written in this audio system.
• If the CD cannot be played, one of the following messages will be displayed.

4-14 Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio systems

CHECK DISC:

• Confirm that the CD is inserted correctly (the label side is facing up, etc.).
• Confirm that the CD is not bent or warped and it is free of scratches.

PUSH EJECT:

This is a malfunction due to excessive temperature inside the player. Remove the CD by pushing the EJECT button. After a short time, reinsert the CD. The CD can be played when the temperature of the player returns to normal.

UNPLAYABLE:

The file is unplayable in this audio system (only MP3 or WMA CD in the audio system with a CD changer).

Compact Disc (CD) with MP3 or WMA (for the audio system with a 6CD changer)

Explanation of 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 approximately 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no perceptible loss in 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 compression than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in the same amount of space when compared to MP3s at the same level of quality.

• Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits per second used by a digital music file. The size and quality of a compressed digital audio file is determined by the bit rate used when encoding the file.

• Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency 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, artist, album title, encoding bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag information is displayed on the Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

• Windows® and Windows Media® are either registered trademarks and trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
