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 flow control Your EATC has five buttons which allow you to make special selections. The buttons are

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONING

The air conditioning system in your NISSAN vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de- signed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s ozone layer. Special charging equipment and lubricant are required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants causes severe damage to your air conditioning system. See ‘‘Air condition- ing system refrigerant and lubricant recom- mendations’’ in the ‘‘Technical and con- sumer information’’ section of this manual. An authorized NISSAN dealer is able to service your environmentally ‘‘friendly’’ air conditioning system.

WARNING

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

Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex- ternal Intermittent changes in reception quality normally are caused by these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may influence radio reception quality. Radio reception Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en- hance radio reception. These circuits are designed to extend reception range, and to enhance the quality of that reception. However there are some general character- istics of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio reception quality in a mov- ing vehicle, even when the finest equipment is used. These characteristics are com- 4-16 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems

in a given reception area, pletely normal and do not indicate any malfunction in your NISSAN radio system. Reception conditions will constantly change because of vehicle movement. 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. 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 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 in- creased distance from the station transmit- ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the treble control counterclockwise to reduce treble re- sponse. Multipath reception: Because of the reflec- tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected signals reach the receiver at the same time. The signals may cancel each other, resulting 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. the signals can be bounced off the ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of these characteristics. AM signals are also subject 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 turbu- lence even in areas where no obstacles exist. Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

● Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cassettes in their protective cases and away from direct sunlight, heat, dust, moisture or magnetic sources.

● Direct sunlight can cause the cas- sette to become deformed. The use of deformed cassettes may cause the cassette to jam in the player.

● Do not use cassettes that have peel- ing or loose labels. If used, the label could jam in the player.

● If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and rewind the tape firmly.

Loose tape may cause jamming and wavering sound quality.

● Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may gather a tape coating residue as the tape passes over the head. This resi- due accumulation can cause a weak or wavering sound and should be removed periodically with a head cleaning tape. If the residue is not removed periodi- cally, the player may need to be dis- assembled for cleaning.
