DOOR LOCKS

APD1042

A key number plate is supplied with your key. Record the key number and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), NOT IN THE CAR. A key number plate is supplied with your key. Keep the plate in a safe place. NISSAN does not record key num- bers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate. A key number is necessary only when you have lost all vehicle keys and do not have one to duplicate. If you still have a key, this key can be duplicated by an authorized NISSAN dealer or locksmith shop.

3-2 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Two keys are supplied with your vehicle — one has a plastic head and one is all metal. Both keys perform the same functions.

WARNING

c Always have the doors locked while driving. Along with the use of seat belts, this provides greater safety in the event of an accident by helping to prevent persons from being thrown from the vehicle. This also helps keep children and others from unintention- ally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders.

c Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. c Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow- ingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

CAUTION

c Always use the door handle to open or close the sliding doors. Do not attempt to open or close the doors by merely placing your hand on the door edge or door slide roller, as this may cause injury.

Operating Tips Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades and air inlet in front of the windshield. This improves defrosting/defogging op- eration. Bi-level heating/cooling The bi-level mode directs air to the side and center vents and to the front and rear floor outlets. Bi-level is also a cooling mode when high sun load conditions are present with cool temperatures. With the A/C system in operation, this mode can be used to cool the passenger’s or driver’s feet under high temperature condi- tions. With the A/C system in operation under high temperature conditions, improved cooling can be obtained by moving the air control dial to the MAX A/C position. 1. Move the air control dial to the

The air recirculation mode automatically turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn into the passenger compartment which helps defog the windshield.

Operating tips c Keep windows and sun roof closed while

the air conditioner is in operation.

c After parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open to vent hot air from the passenger compart- ment. Then, close the windows. This allows the air conditioner to cool the interior more quickly.

c The air conditioning system should be operated for about ten minutes at least once a month. This helps pre- vent damage to the system due to lack of lubrication.

c If the engine coolant temperature gauge exceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air conditioner off. See ‘‘If your vehicle over- heats’’ in the ‘‘In case of emergency’’ section for additional information.

WARNING

c The air conditioner cooling function operates only when the engine is running. c Do not

leave children, unreliable adults, or pets alone in your vehicle. 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.

c Do not use the MAX mode for long periods as it may cause the interior

air to become stale and the windows to fog up.

c Positioning of the heater and air con- ditioner controls should not be done while driving, in order that full atten- tion may be given to the driving operation.

The cabin air filter (if so equipped) requires periodic maintenance. See the ‘‘Do it your- self’’ section for additional information. The Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) is located at the center of the instrument panel, below the radio. The

EATC operates only when the ignition is turned to the ON position. The EATC maintains the temperature you select and controls the airflow for your com- fort. It also allows you to override the auto- matic operation with manual function selec- tor buttons. To turn the EATC on, push either the AU- TOMATIC button or any of the six function selector buttons: or MAX. To turn the EATC off, press

the OFF button. When you select AUTOMATIC, the system determines fan speed, airflow location and discharge air temperature. When one of the function selector buttons is pressed, your selection determines airflow location only. Fan speed and discharge air temperature remain automatic. You can override fan speed by rotating the vertical thumbwheel the

AUTOMATIC OPERATION Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the desired temperature. The selected tempera- ture and AUTO show in the display window. The EATC heats or cools to achieve the set temperature. When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions require heat, air is sent to the floor. However, a feature is included in the EATC to prevent blowing cold air to the floor if the engine coolant is not warm enough to allow heating. In three or four minutes the fan speed gradu- ally increases and airflow changes to the floor. If unique conditions exist, such as window fogging, the five override buttons allow spe- cific airflow selection. The thumbwheel al- lows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your needs. Temperature selection The button on the left side of the control panel is for temperature selec- tion. The side lowers the set tempera- ture, and the side raises the set tem- perature. Press and hold either side of the button to rapidly change the temperature setting in one degree increments to either 65°F (18°C) or 85°F (29°C). If you want 4-12 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems

continuous maximum cooling, push the the TEMP button until 60°F (16°C) shows in the display window. The EATC cools at maximum and disregards the 60°F (16°C) setting until a warmer tempera- ture is selected. If you want continuous maximum heating, push the side of the TEMP button until 90°F (32°C) shows in the display window. The EATC provides maxi- mum heat regardless of the 90°F (32°C) setting until a cooler temperature is se- lected. Fan speed and thumbwheel Your EATC automatically adjusts the fan speed to the existing conditions. To control the fan speed yourself, use the thumbwheel located at the EATC control panel. Using the thumbwheel cancels the automatic fan speed control, and causes a to appear in the display window. Rotate the thumbwheel up for HI speeds and down for LO speeds. To return to auto fan control, press the AUTOMATIC button. AIR CONTROL BUTTONS Your EATC has five buttons which allow you to make special selections. The buttons are
