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.

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

쐌 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 Mi- crosoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

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. The CD can be played when the temperature of the player returns to normal. UNPLAYABLE: The file is unplayable in this audio sys- tem (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: 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.

CAR PHONE OR CB RADIO

When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone in your NISSAN vehicle, be sure to observe the following cautions, otherwise the new equip- ment may adversely affect the Engine Control system and other electronic parts.

WARNING

쐌 A cellular telephone should not be used while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of cellular telephones while driving. 쐌 If you must make a call while your vehicle is in motion, the hands free cellular phone operational mode (if so equipped) is highly recommended. Exercise extreme caution at all times so full attention may be given to vehicle operation.

쐌 If a conversation in a moving vehicle requires you to take notes, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle before doing so.

CAUTION

쐌 Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the electronic control modules.

쐌 Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in (20 cm) away from the electronic con- trol system harnesses. Do not route the antenna wire next to any harness.

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. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual regarding the telephone charges, cellular phone antenna and body, etc. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 8 in (20

cm) between the radiator and your body. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or trans- mitter. USING THE SYSTEM The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows hands-free operation of the Bluetooth Hands- Free Phone System.

If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may not be available so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. Initialization When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initial- ized, which takes a few seconds. When com- pleted, the amber light on the overhead console illuminates and the system is ready to accept voice commands. If the button is pushed before the initialization completes, the system will announce “Hands-free phone system not ready” and will not react to voice commands. Operating tips To get the best performance out of the NISSAN Voice Recognition system, observe the follow- ing: 쐌 Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as

possible. Close the windows to eliminate surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system from recognizing voice commands correctly. 쐌 Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command. Otherwise, the command will not be received properly.

쐌 Start speaking a command within 5 seconds

after the tone sounds.

쐌 Speak in a natural voice without pausing

between words.

Giving voice commands To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push button located on the and release the steering wheel. The light on the overhead con- sole flashes to signal you have entered a voice recognition (VR) session. After the tone sounds, speak a command.

The command given is picked up by the micro- phone, and voice feedback is given when the command is accepted. 쐌 If you need to hear the available commands for the current menu again, say “Help” and the system will repeat them.

쐌 If a command is not recognized, the system recognized. Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio systems 4-33

NOTE: For best results, say phone numbers as single digits.

Please try again.” Repeat the command in a clear voice. 쐌 If you want

to go back to the previous command, you can say “Go back” or “Cor- rection” anytime the system is waiting for a response.

쐌 You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces “Cancel” and ends the VR session. You can also push button on the steering wheel at any the time. Whenever the VR session is cancelled, a double beep is played to indicate you have exited the system.

쐌 If you want to adjust the volume of the voice feedback, push the volume control switch (+ or −) on the steering wheel while being provided with feedback. You can also use the radio volume control knob.

How to say numbers NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer to the rules and examples below. 쐌 Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.

Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight oh oh six six two six two oh

oh”, or

— “One eight zero zero six six two six two oh

oh”

쐌 Words can be used for the first 4 digits

places only.

Example: 1-800-662-6200

— “One eight hundred six six two six two oh

oh”,

— NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty

two hundred, and

— NOT “One eight oh oh six six two sixty two

hundred.

쐌 Numbers can be spoken in small groups. The system will prompt you to continuing entering digits, if desired. Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight oh oh” The system repeats the numbers and prompts you to enter more. — “six six two” The system repeats the numbers and prompts you to enter more. — “six two oh oh”

쐌 You can say “Star” for * and “Pound” for # at anytime in any position of the phone number.
