involved in serious accidents. Never leave these keys in the vehicle. A key number plate is supplied with your keys. Record the key number and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. NISSAN does not record any key numbers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate. A key number is only necessary when you have lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If you still have a key, this key can be duplicated by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS) KEY - Master and Valet keys: As many as 5 keys can be used with one vehicle. New keys must be registered to the NVIS com- ponents in your vehicle by a NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should bring all NVIS keys that you have to a NISSAN dealer for registration. This is because the registration process will erase all memory of the NVIS components. CAUTION Do not allow the NVIS key, which con- tains an electrical transponder, to come in contact with salt water. This could cause the system to malfunction. 墌 04.8.23/Z33-D/V5.0 墍 SPA1379D 1.

CARE OF THE SOFT TOP AND THE VEHICLE BODY To use your Roadster safely and comfortably, 3-28 Pre-driving checks and adjustments you need to observe all the warnings and cau- tions shown in the previous pages. Also, to maintain a good appearance of the soft top and the vehicle body, you need to care for them by cleaning and/or washing properly. 쐌 The inner surface of the trunk and top storage lids may show a fibrous, or marbled pattern. This is the normal appearance of the material used in these parts. CAUTION 쐌 Do not use an automatic car wash or a high-pressure car wash to clean your vehicle. The top may be dam- aged and water may leak into the inside of the vehicle. 쐌 Store the vehicle with the top closed if it is not to be used for long periods. Keeping the top stowed for long pe- riods may cause wrinkles on the sur- face of the top. See “Cleaning exterior” in the “7. Appearance and care” section for detailed instructions. 쐌 A protective clear tape is applied to the top storage lid painted surface where the soft top contacts the surface. When the top is fully closed, the tape may transmit some light, visible from the inside of the vehicle. This does not affect the water and air tightness of the seal. 墌 04.8.23/Z33-D/V5.0 墍 4 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems Safety note .............................................................................. 4-2 Control panel buttons — with navigation system.......... 4-2 Names of the components ............................................ 4-2 How to use joystick and “ENTER” button................. 4-3 How to use “PREVIOUS” button................................. 4-3 Setting up the start-up screen ..................................... 4-3 How to use the “INFO” button..................................... 4-3 How to use the “SETTING” button............................. 4-5 ” button.................................... 4-7 How to use the “ Ventilators ............................................................................... 4-7 Center ................................................................................ 4-7 Side .................................................................................... 4-7 Heater and air conditioner (Automatic)............................ 4-8 Automatic operation ....................................................... 4-9 Manual operation ............................................................ 4-9 Operating tips ............................................................... 4-10 Servicing air conditioner .................................................. 4-11 Audio system ....................................................................... 4-11 Radio ............................................................................... 4-11 FM radio reception ...................................................... 4-12 AM radio reception ...................................................... 4-12 Satellite (SAT) radio reception (if so equipped) ............................................................ 4-12 Audio operation precautions ..................................... 4-12 FM-AM radio with compact disc (CD) player........ 4-15 FM-AM-SAT radio with cassette player and compact disc (CD) changer ...................................... 4-19 CD care and cleaning ................................................. 4-26 Antenna ........................................................................... 4-26 Car phone or CB radio .................................................... 4-26 墌 04.8.23/Z33-D/V5.0 墍 SAFETY NOTE CONTROL PANEL BUTTONS — WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM WARNING 쐌 Positioning of the heating or air con- ditioning controls and display con- trols should not be done while driv- ing, in order that full attention may be given to driving operation. 쐌 Do not disassemble or modify this system.

Because of the move- ment, 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. SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER AUDIO SYSTEM 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. How- ever, special charging equipment and lubricant are required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri- cants will cause severe damage to your air conditioning system. See “Capacities and rec- ommended fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical and consumer information” section for air con- ditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recom- mendations. A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your environmentally friendly air conditioning 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 equip- ment. 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, build- ings, bridges, mountains and other external in- fluences. Intermittent changes in reception qual- ity normally are caused by these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the ve- hicle may influence radio reception quality. Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the- art electronic circuits to enhance radio recep- tion. These circuits are designed to extend re- ception range, and to enhance the quality of that reception. However there are some general characteristics of FM, AM and SAT (satellite — if available) 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. Heater, air conditioner and audio systems 4-11 墌 04.8.23/Z33-D/V5.0 墍 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 re- flected signals reach the receiver at the same time. The signals may cancel each other, result- ing 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 sub- ject 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 and “NO SAT” is displayed when the SAT band option is selected unless optional satellite receiver and antenna are installed (retrofit unavailable without factory satellite radio pre-wiring), and an XM® or SIRIUSTM 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. AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS Cassette player 쐌 To maintain good quality sound, NISSAN recommends using cassette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length. 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 4-12 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems 墌 04.8.23/Z33-D/V5.0 墍 쐌 Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cas- settes in their protective cases and away from direct sunlight, heat, dust, moisture and magnetic sources. 쐌 Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of deformed cassettes may cause the cassette to jam in the player. 쐌 Do not use cassettes with labels which are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player. 쐌 If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and rewind the tape firmly around the hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam- ming and wavering sound quality. 쐌 Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may col- lect a tape coating residue as the tape is played. This residue accumulation can cause weak or wavering sound, and should be removed periodically with a head cleaning tape. If the residue is not removed periodically, the player may need to be disassembled for cleaning. Compact Disc (CD) player 쐌 During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the hu- midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ventilate the player com- pletely. 쐌 The player may skip while driving on rough roads. 쐌 The CD player sometimes cannot func- tion when the passenger compartment temperature is extremely high. De- crease the temperature before use.
