and push the memory switch (1 or 2).

The driver’s seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside mirrors will move to the memorized

position with the indicator light blinking, and then the light will stay on for approximately 5 seconds. ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION This system is designed so that the driver’s seat will automatically move when the shift selector is placed in the P (Park) position. This allows the driver to get into and out of the driver’s seat more easily.

The driver’s seat will slide backward: ● When the key is removed from the ignition

switch and the driver’s door is opened.

● When the driver’s door is opened with the ignition switch placed in the LOCK position. ● When the ignition switch is turned from ACC to LOCK with the driver’s door open.

The driver’s seat will return to the previous posi- tion: ● When the key is inserted into the ignition

switch and the driver’s door is closed.

● When the driver’s door is closed with the ignition switch placed in the LOCK position. ● When the ignition switch is turned from ACC to ON while the shift selector is in the P (Park) position.

The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can- celed. For vehicles with navigation system, see “Comfort & convenience settings” in the “Moni- tor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems” section of this manual. For vehicles without navigation system, see your NISSAN dealer. Restarting the entry/exit function If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled. Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to restart the entry/exit function. You can also restart the entry/exit function using the following proce- dure.

1. Connect the battery cable or replace the

fuse.

2. Open and close the driver’s door more than 2 times with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.

The entry/exit function should now work properly. SYSTEM OPERATION The automatic drive positioner system will not work or will stop operating under the following conditions: ● When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7

km/h).

● When any of

the memory switches are pushed while the automatic drive positioner is operating.

● When the adjusting switch for the driver’s seat is turned on while the automatic drive positioner is operating.

● When the seat has been already moved to

the memorized position.

● When no seat position is stored in the

memory switch.

● When the shift selector is moved from P

(Park) to any other position.

● When the driver’s door remains open more than 45 seconds and the ignition switch is not in the ON position.

The automatic drive positioner system can be adjusted and canceled. For vehicles with naviga- tion system, see “Comfort & convenience set- tings” in the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems” section of this manual.

REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)

When the shift selector is shifted into the R (Reverse) position, the monitor display shows the view directly to the rear of the vehicle.

WARNING

● The system is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary ob- jects to help avoid damaging the ve- hicle. The system will not detect small objects below the bumper, and may not detect objects close to the bumper or on the ground.

● The RearView Monitor is a convenience but it is not a substitute for proper back- ing. Always turn and check that it is safe to do so before backing up. Always back up slowly.

● Objects viewed in the RearView Moni- tor differ from actual distance because a wide-angle lens is used.

● Make sure that the lift gate is securely

closed when backing up.

● Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is in- stalled beside the lift gate handle.

● When washing the vehicle with high- pressure water, be sure not to spray it around the camera. Otherwise, water may enter the camera unit causing wa- ter condensation on the lens, a mal- function, fire or an electric shock.

● Do not strike the camera. It is a preci- sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal- function or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.

CAUTION

There is a plastic cover over the camera. Do not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or snow from the cover. HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED LINES Lines which indicate the vehicle clearance and distances to objects with reference to the bumper line 䊊A are displayed on the monitor.

LHA0437
They are indicated as reference distances to objects.

OPERATING TIPS ● When the shift selector is shifted to R (Re- verse), the monitor screen automatically changes to the RearView Monitor mode. However, the radio can be heard.

● It may take some time until the RearView Monitor is displayed after the shift selector has been shifted to R (Reverse). Objects may be distorted momentarily until the Rear- View Monitor screen is displayed com- pletely. When the shift selector is returned to a position other than R (Reverse), it may take some time until the screen changes. Objects on the screen may be distorted until they are completely displayed.

● When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not clearly display ob- jects. This is not a malfunction.

● When strong light directly enters the cam-

era, objects may not be displayed clearly.

● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light from the bumper. This is not a malfunction. ● The screen may flicker under fluorescent

light. This is not a malfunction.

● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni- tor may differ somewhat from those of the actual object.

● When the contrast of objects is low at night, pressing the SETTING button may not change the brightness.

● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a

dark place or at night.

● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, the RearView Monitor may not display ob- jects. Clean the camera.

● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the camera. This will cause discolora- tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.

● Do not damage the camera as the monitor

screen may be adversely affected.

● Do not use body wax on the camera window. If body wax does get on the camera window, wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp- ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

AUDIO SYSTEM

RADIO Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position and press the VOL (volume)/ON·OFF (power) knob to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, the ignition switch should be placed in the ACC position.

Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, build- ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ- ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality 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 NISSAN radio system is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra- dio reception. These circuits are designed to extend reception range, and to enhance the qual- ity of that reception.

However, there are some general characteristics of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equipment is used. These char- acteristics are completely normal in a given re- ception area and do not indicate any malfunction in your NISSAN radio system.

Reception conditions will constantly change be- cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and interference from other ve- hicles can work against ideal reception. De- scribed 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 de- vice in a different location may reduce or elimi- nate the noise. FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 – 30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. Exter- nal influences may sometimes interfere with FM station reception even if the FM station is within 25 mi (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 char- acteristics 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 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 mo- mentary 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 RADIO RECEPTION (if so equipped) When the satellite radio is used for the first time or the battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may not work properly. This is not a mal- function. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or large building for satellite radio to receive all of the necessary data. The satellite radio mode will be skipped unless an optional satellite receiver and antenna are in- stalled and an XM姞* satellite radio service sub- scription is active. Satellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam. 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 build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna can affect satellite radio performance. Remove the ice to restore satellite radio reception. * XM姞 is a registered trademark of XM Satellite Radio, Inc.

erly: ● 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 malfunc- tion: ● 3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter ● 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 pre- recorded CDs. It has no capability to record or burn CDs.

● If the CD cannot be played, one of the following messages will be displayed.

CHECK DISC:

● Confirm that the CD is inserted cor- rectly (the label side is facing up, etc.).

● Confirm that the CD is not bent or

warped and it is free of scratches.

PRESS EJECT:

This is an error due to excessive tem- perature inside the player. Remove the CD by pressing 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 (if so equipped) CD).

Compact Disc (CD)/CompactFlash姞 (CF) with MP3 or WMA (if so equipped) 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/CF 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 compres- sion 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 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.

● 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.
