SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN is charged with a refrigerant designed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equipment and lubricant is required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants causes severe damage to your air conditioner system. See 9Air conditioner system refrigerant and lubrication recom- mendations9
in the 9Technical and con- sumer information9 section of this manual. An authorized NISSAN dealer will be able to service your environmentally 9friendly9 air conditioner system.

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains refrigerant under high pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air condi- tioner service should be done only by an experienced technician with proper equipment.

RDS (Radio Data System) RDS stands for Radio Data System, and is a data information service transmitted by some radio stations on the FM band (not AM band) encoded within a regular radio broadcast. Currently, most RDS stations are in large cities, but many stations are now considering broadcasting RDS data. RDS can display: c Station call sign, such as “WHFR 98.3”. c Station name, such as “The Groove”. c Music or programming type such as

“Classical”, “Country”, or “Rock”.

c Traffic reports about delays or construc-

tion.

If the station broadcasts RDS information, the RDS icon is displayed. The RDS infor- mation will be displayed according to the option chosen in the RDS setup mode. (FM & RDS is the default.) Press the RDS button again to display the frequency for 3 sec- onds. The radio will then return to the nor- mal display. If the station does not broad- cast RDS information, the RDS icon will not be displayed.
