WARNING

∙ The air conditioner cooling function

operates only when the engine is
running.

∙ Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.

∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for

long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

NOTE:

∙ Odors from inside and outside the ve-

hicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
vents.

∙ When parking, set the heater and air

conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

matically turns off, the air fresh mode
will automatically turn on.

Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control (if so
equipped)

Vehicles equipped with automatic climate
controls and Remote Engine Start function
may go into automatic heating or cooling
mode when Remote Engine Start is acti-
vated depending on outside and cabin
temperatures. During this period, the cli-
mate control display and buttons will be
inoperable until the ignition switch is
turned on. In Remote Engine Start defrost-
ing mode, the rear window defroster and
heated steering wheel (if so equipped) may
be activated automatically.

Voice Recognition logic (if so
equipped)

When the climate control system is on, the

∙ When the climate system is in auto-

matic operation and the engine coolant
temperature and outside air tempera-
ture are low, the air flow outlet may de-
fault to defroster mode for a maximum
of 2 minutes 30 seconds. This is not a
malfunction. After the engine coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow out-
let will return to foot mode and opera-
tion will continue normally.

∙ When the outside and interior cabin

temperatures are moderate to high, the
intake setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode, or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may oc-
cur when previous climate setting was
system off. This is not a malfunction.
After the initial warm air is expelled, the
intake will return to automatic control,
air flow outlet will return to previous set-
tings, and operation will continue nor-
mally. To exit, press any climate control
button.

∙ Keep the moonroof (if so equipped)

closed while the air conditioner is in op-
eration.

∙ If you feel that the air flow mode you

have selected and the outlets the air is
coming out do not match, select
the

mode.

∙ When you change the air flow mode,

you may feel air flow from the feet vents
for just a moment. This is not a mal-
function.

The air conditioner 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
is required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. For additional
information, refer to “Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations”
in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioner system.

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced

technician

with

proper

equipment.

∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shifting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.

∙ To avoid raising the center of gravity

excessively, do not exceed the rated
capacity

the

roof

rack

(if

equipped) and evenly distribute the
load.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

∙ Do not breathe exhaust gases; they

contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.

∙ If you suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the ve-
hicle inspected immediately.

∙ Do not run the engine in closed spaces

such as a garage.

∙ Do not park the vehicle with the en-

gine running for any extended length
of time.

∙ Keep the rear vent windows, liftgates,

doors and trunk lids (if so equipped)
closed while driving, otherwise ex-
haust gases could be drawn into the
passenger compartment. If you must
drive with one of these open, follow
these precautions:

1. Open all the windows.

2. Set the

air recirculation but-

ton to off and the fan control dial to
high to circulate the air.

∙ If electrical wiring or other cable con-

nections

must

pass

trailer

through the seal on the liftgate or the
body, follow the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation

prevent

carbon

monoxide entry into the vehicle.

∙ The exhaust system and body should

be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:

a. The vehicle is raised for service.

b. You suspect that exhaust fumes

are entering into the passenger
compartment.

c. You notice a change in the sound of

the exhaust system.

d. You have had an accident involving

damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING

5-4

Starting and driving

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust system.
Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst
are burned at high temperatures to help
reduce pollutants.

WARNING

∙ The exhaust gas and the exhaust sys-

tem are very hot. Keep people, ani-
mals or flammable materials away
from

the

exhaust

system

components.

∙ Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They may
ignite and cause a fire.

CAUTION

∙ Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits

from leaded gasoline will seriously re-
duce the three-way catalyst’s ability
to help reduce exhaust pollutants.

∙ Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-

tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause over rich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if no-
ticeable loss of performance or other
unusual operating conditions are de-
tected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

∙ Avoid driving with an extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damag-
ing the three-way catalyst.

∙ Do not race the engine while warming

it up.

∙ Do not push or tow your vehicle to

start the engine.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
