쐌 The foot brake pedal is released. 쐌 The passenger power seat switch (on the
cushion or the seatback) is operated.
Remove your hand from the soft top operating switch, and press the switch again to move the top to the fully opened or closed position. The indicator light will go off when the top open/close operation is completely finished. If the soft top indicator light flashes with the ignition switch ON (whether the top is operated or not), it may indicate the top operating system is not functioning properly. Have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as pos- sible. Automatic passenger seatback tilt function The passenger seatback will automatically tilt forward when the soft top is operated. This function is designed to draw your passenger’s attention to the rear section of the top, which will come into the passenger compartment from behind during the top operation. The seatback will return to the original position when the entire top operation is completed. This automatic seatback movement will be stopped: 쐌 When the passenger seat sliding or reclining
switch (on the seat cushion) is operated.
쐌 When the power seatback tilt switch (on the
seatback) is operated.
쐌 When the seatback tilt cancel switch is
turned to the CANCEL position.
Remove your hand from the soft top operating switch, and press it again to resume operation. The passenger seatback will start tilting forward again from the present position, and the soft top will start opening or closing. If the top movement is interrupted at this time, the next time you resume top operation, the seatback will first tilt forward from the present position, then the top will start moving again. If you need to cancel this function or when a child restraint is installed in the passenger seat, push the seatback tilt cancel switch to the CANCEL position. For the seatback tilt cancel switch, see “Tilting and reclining passenger’s seat from driver’s seat” in the “1. Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restrain sys- tem” section.

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.

Remember that a moving vehicle is not the ideal place to listen to a radio. 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.

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.

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

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.

Audio main operation Head unit:
The tape deck employs a permalloy head which allows for improved reproduction of high fre- quency ranges. Noise is also greatly reduced by the use of the Dolby NR (Noise Reduction) system. The auto loudness circuit enhances the low frequency range automatically in both radio reception and tape and CD playback. This audio system has an active noise compen- sation feature called “Audio Pilot”. The Audio Pilot uses a microphone to detect external road noise and automatically adjusts the amplifier to compensate for any competing high, midrange, or low frequency noise.

CD CARE AND CLEANING 쐌 Handle a CD by its edges. Never touch the
surface of the disc. Do not bend the disc.
쐌 Always place the discs in the storage case
when they are not being used.
쐌 To clean a disc, wipe the surface from the center to the outer edge using a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the disc using a circular motion. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or alcohol intended for industrial use.
쐌 A new disc may be rough on its inner and outer edges. Remove the rough edges using the side of a pen or pencil as illustrated.
