FUEL FILLER LID OPENER OP- ERATION To open the fuel filler lid, grasp the right hand edge of the lid and pull. FUEL FILLER CAP The fuel filler cap is a screw-on ratcheting type. Tighten the cap clockwise until ratch- eting clicks are heard. Ensure the plastic tether doesn’t get caught between the fuel filler cap and the fuel filler neck. The driver side sliding door cannot be fully opened when the fuel door is open. Make sure the driver side sliding door is

completely closed before opening the fuel door.

WARNING

c Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain con- ditions. You could be burned or se- riously injured if it is misused or mishandled. Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the vehicle when refueling.

c Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the cap one-half turn, and wait for any ‘‘hissing’’ sound to stop to prevent fuel from spraying out and possibly causing personal injury. Then re- move the cap.

c Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refuel- ing may cause fuel overflow, result- ing in fuel spray and possibly a fire. c Use only an original equipment type fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has a built-in safety valve needed for proper operation of the fuel system and emission control system. An

incorrect cap can result in a serious malfunction and possible injury.

c Never pour fuel into the throttle body

to attempt to start your vehicle.

CAUTION

c If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, flush it away with water to avoid paint damage.

c Tighten until the fuel filler cap clicks. Failure to tighten the fuel filler cap properly may cause the mal- function indicator lamp (MIL) to illu- minate. If the lamp illuminates because the fuel filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the cap and continue to drive the vehicle. The lamp should turn off after a few driving trips. If the lamp does not turn off after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized NISSAN dealer.

c For additional information, see the ‘‘Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)’’ in the ‘‘Instrument and controls’’ section earlier in this manual.

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.

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 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.
