WARNING

Keep hands and other parts of the body away from moving parts such as the top, storage lid and power windows.

CAUTION

Keep all parts of the top linkage clear of obstructions, or the top latch may not be securely locked.

NOTE: 쐌 In case of low battery or low tempera- ture, the top may temporarily stop mov- ing during the operation. This functions to protect the top control mechanism, and it is not a malfunction.

쐌 If the top is opened and closed repeat- edly in a short period of time, it may stop moving to protect the top motor. Wait for a few minutes before operating the top again.

vehicle body.

쐌 Do not place anything in the top stor- age area. The top will not fit there properly, and this could damage the top and/or the vehicle body.

쐌 Do not sit or place excessive weight on the top and the storage lid, espe- cially when the top is being operated. The top may be damaged.

쐌 Do not drive the vehicle with the top partially opened. Always make sure the top is either fully opened or closed before driving.

쐌 Secure items so that they cannot be blown from the vehicle while driving with the top open.

쐌 When a child restraint is installed in the passenger seat, be sure to turn the seatback tilt cancel switch (lo- cated on the passenger seatback) to the CANCEL position, or the child restraint may be damaged.

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 push the switch again to move the top to the fully opened or closed position. The soft top indicator light will turn off when the top open operation is completely finished. When closing the top, the light, which is illuminated, will begin to flash when the top close operation is completely finished. Securely engage the top to the vehicle body by operating the top latch lever. The light will turn off. If the soft top indicator light flashes with the ignition switch ON (whether the top is operated or not, and when the top is engaged), it may indicate the top operating system is not func- tioning properly. Have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible. 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 push 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.

WARNING

쐌 The air conditioner cooling function operates only when the engine is running.

쐌 On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly be- come high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals. Do not leave children or adults who would normally require

the assistance of others in your ve- hicle. Unattended pets should also not be left alone.

쐌 Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the interior air to become stale and the windows to fog up.

Start the engine and operate the controls to activate the air conditioner. NOTE: In your vehicle, the air conditioner system is designed to automatically activate the cooling function when operating the air flow control dial, the fan speed control dial or the air intake button. (The indicator light on the A/C button will illuminate.) Push the A/C button off when the cooling function is not necessary.

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 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. 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.

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 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

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 lowering the treble setting 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 when the SAT band option is selected unless optional satellite receiver and antenna are installed, and an XM® 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. A buildup of ice on the satellite radio antenna can affect satellite radio performance. Remove the ice to restore satellite radio reception. Satellite radio is not available in Alaska and Hawaii.

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

CHECK DISC: 쐌 Confirm that the CD is inserted cor- rectly (the label side is facing up, etc.).

쐌 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.

Compact Disc (CD) with MP3 or WMA (for the audio system with a 6CD changer) Explanation of terms: 쐌 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.

쐌 WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a compressed audio format created by Mi- crosoft 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.

쐌 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.

쐌 Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is the rate at which the samples of a signal are converted from analog to digital (A/D conver- sion) per second.

쐌 Multisession — Multisession is one of the methods for writing data to media. Writing data once to the media is called a single

Troubleshooting guide:

Symptom

Cannot play

Poor sound quality

It takes a relatively long time be- fore the music starts playing.

Music cuts off or skips

Skipping with high bit rate files Move immediately to the next song when playing. The songs do not play back in the desired order.

Cause and Countermeasure

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 num- ber of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications. Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of MP3/WMA writing applications or other text editing applications. 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. Check if the disc is scratched or dirty. Bit rate may be too low. If there are many folder 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. 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 may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data. 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. The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software. Therefore, the files might not play in the desired order.
