Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
With proper use of the capabilities of heating and ventilation systems in the car, comfortable conditions are provided and fogging of the windows is excluded.
If the car was not equipped with an air conditioning system at the time of purchase, it can be mounted and installed at any time convenient for the owner - contact a Nissan service station.
Control panel for the functioning of ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems
A general view of the control panel with indication of the location of the handles is shown in the illustration.
Fan speed selection switch
The switch allows you to select the speed of rotation of the fan of the heater / air conditioner. The switch has five positions - OFF (Off) and 4 positions of different speed of rotation of the impeller.
Air outlet direction selection switches
With the help of these push-button switches, the direction of distribution of the air flow is selected (upper level, footwells, defroster and two mixed modes).
Air temperature controller
The slider allows you to select the required temperature mode for the operation of heating / air conditioning systems at the discretion of the operator. Moving the regulator knob to the right leads to an increase in the temperature of the air supplied to the passenger compartment, to the left - to a decrease.
Button for selecting the mode of closed air circulation
This button selects the mode of air circulation in the passenger compartment. When the button is pressed (OFF position) fresh outside air is supplied to the cabin. This mode is used during normal continuous operation of the heater or A/C. When pressing the button (the control lamp mounted inside should light up) the system switches to closed air circulation mode in the passenger compartment. This mode is usually selected when driving on heavily dusty or gassed sections of the road, as well as when it is necessary to quickly cool the air in the cabin with an air conditioner.
Note. With prolonged use of the closed circulation mode, stagnation of air in the passenger compartment occurs.

The grilles of the side air ducts of the instrument panel have a similar design.
Instructions for the use of ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems
Below are detailed instructions for the operation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in various climatic conditions. The reader is provided with information on how to ensure efficient ventilation, heating and cooling of the air in the car, as well as how to quickly remove condensation and frost from the windows.
All systems under consideration operate only when the engine is running. The engine coolant is used as the working fluid for the heater. If the engine is not warmed up to normal operating temperature, it will take several minutes before warm air is blown into the passenger compartment. The operation of the air conditioning system is independent of the engine coolant temperature.
In the vast majority of cases, the best performance of systems that provide a comfortable microclimate is achieved in the mode of supplying outside air to the passenger compartment. Long-term activation of the closed circulation mode, especially when the air conditioner is not working, leads to fogging of the windows and an increase in the stuffiness of the air, therefore it is recommended to turn on this mode only if necessary and for a relatively short time, for example, when driving through areas with a smoky or polluted atmosphere. As soon as it is no longer necessary to isolate the passenger compartment, the supply of fresh air to the passenger compartment must be resumed.
Outside atmospheric air enters the heating and air conditioning systems through the intake grill located in front of the windshield and equipped with a fairing. Periodically clean the openings of the intake grille from leaves and other debris that obstructs the passage of air.
Vehicle interior ventilation
The supply and exhaust ventilation system provides a constant exchange of air in the car. Fresh outside air, which enters through the front intake grille, circulates through the passenger compartment and is then removed through outlets located near the rear window.
- a) Move the temperature control knob to the extreme left position. Check that the air conditioner is turned off;
- b) Select the air dispensing mode corresponding to the icon. Closed air circulation mode must be turned off;
- c) After selecting the appropriate fan speed, set the required intensity of air supply to the car interior.
Cooling the air in the car
Interior cooling is carried out as follows:
- a) Turn on the air conditioner by pressing the button "A/C", - the control lamp mounted in the button should light up;
- b) Make sure that the handle of the air temperature regulator is shifted to the extreme left position.
- c) Select the direction of the air distribution direction corresponding to the icon;
- d) At high humidity of the outside air, turn on the closed circulation mode, at low humidity, turn on the fresh air inflow mode;
- e) After selecting the appropriate fan speed, set the required intensity of air supply to the passenger compartment.
If the vehicle has been exposed to the sun for a long time and the air in the passenger compartment is very hot, quickly reduce the temperature in the passenger compartment as follows:
- a) Start the engine;
- b) Turn on the air conditioner (button "A/C"). Check that the handle of the air temperature regulator has been shifted to the extreme left position;
- c) By selecting the appropriate fan speed, set the maximum intensity of air supply to the passenger compartment;
- d) Partially open the windows and select the direction of air distribution corresponding to the icon. Turn on fresh air mode.
Once the interior temperature has dropped to an acceptable level, close the windows and set the air conditioning to normal (see above).
The operation of the air conditioning system leads to an increase in the load on the car engine, so you should carefully monitor the arrow of the coolant temperature gauge, moving with frequent stops and at low speed in a busy city cycle, or overcoming long, steep hills. When the pointer approaches the red range of the scale, temporarily turn off the air conditioner until the engine temperature returns to normal.
Car interior heating
In order to raise the temperature of the air in the passenger compartment, perform the following manipulations.
- a) Start the engine;
- b) Select the direction of air distribution corresponding to the icon. Closed air circulation mode must be turned off;
- c) After selecting the appropriate fan speed, set the required intensity of air supply to the passenger compartment;
- d) By shifting the handle of the air temperature regulator in one direction or another, set the desired degree of air heating.
Interior heating with simultaneous dehumidification with air conditioning
When the air conditioning system is operating, the humidity in the car interior is reduced, so the simultaneous inclusion of heating and air conditioning systems allows you to make the air in the car interior warm and dry.
- a) Turn on the fan;
- b) Turn on the air conditioner;
- c) Select the direction of air distribution corresponding to the icon. Air recirculation mode must be turned off.
- d) By shifting the handle of the air temperature regulator in one direction or another, set the desired degree of heating of the air entering the passenger compartment. In this mode, cold air from the air conditioner is mixed with warm air from the heater.
The joint inclusion of heating and air conditioning systems can be used in any driving conditions when the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
Removing condensation and frost from windows
You can clean the internal surfaces of the glass from condensed moisture as follows:
- a) Turn on the fan;
- b) If the vehicle is equipped with the appropriate equipment, turn on the air conditioner;
- c) Select the direction of air distribution corresponding to the icon. Closed air circulation mode must be turned off;
- d) Set the air temperature control knob to such a position that warm air is supplied through the windshield blower nozzles;
- e) Turn on the rear window defroster to remove condensed moisture from its surface more quickly. To turn off the air conditioner, press the A/C button.
In order to remove frost or ice from the outer surface of the windshield and side windows, formed after the car was parked on the street in frosty weather, perform the following manipulations:
- a) Switch on the ignition by turning the key in the lock to position "ON";
- b) Select the direction of air distribution corresponding to the icon. Closed air circulation mode must be turned off. Some versions of the car provide for the possibility of automatically switching on the mode of supplying fresh air and air conditioning by selecting the distribution direction corresponding to the icon;
- c) Move the handle of the air temperature regulator to the extreme right position (maximum air heating) and turn on the fan at maximum speed;
- d) Start the car engine.
To speed up the removal of frost or ice from the windshield in very cold weather, it is recommended to first turn on the closed air circulation mode. After the windshield is free of frost, resume the fresh air supply to prevent fogging of the windows.
In the windshield blowing mode, all air supplied to the passenger compartment enters through slotted nozzles located on top of the instrument panel at the base of the windshield, as well as through the side ventilation deflectors of the instrument panel. The glass blowing temperature and the glass cleaning speed increase as the engine warms up. To speed up the process of removing condensation, frost or ice from the windshield, you can close the side vents (see illustration 4.10). In this case, all the air will go exclusively to blowing the windshield.
For safety reasons, do not start driving until all windows of the vehicle are clear of condensation and the driver has adequate visibility.
Switching off heating and ventilation systems
In order to temporarily turn off the heating and ventilation systems, turn the air temperature control knob to the extreme left position, set the minimum fan speed.
The need to turn off the systems occurs in the first few minutes after starting the engine in cold weather, as this ensures that the engine warms up more quickly to a temperature sufficient for efficient operation of the heater. In all other cases, keep the fan constantly on to avoid air stagnation in the cabin.

A temperature sensor is mounted in the instrument panel of the car, according to the readings of which the temperature is maintained at a given level. Avoid placing objects near the sensor.
Audio system
Car radio
The radio only functions when the ignition is on (key in the ON or ACC position).
For best radio reception, fully extend the antenna. The reception of a radio signal is affected by the power of the transmitting station and its remoteness, interference from buildings, bridges, mountains and other obstacles - as a rule, short-term changes in reception quality are caused precisely by the presence of such interference.
The appearance of the control panel of the car radio, which is included in the standard equipment of Nissan Maxima cars, is shown in the illustration. The radio is equipped with a removable front panel.
The radio tape recorder includes a radio receiver of the DV-SV-VHF bands and a cassette player for magnetic recordings. In addition, the system includes a coded security module and a CD player with an automatic disc changer. The tape recorder has a high playback quality due to the use of a Dolby noise filter.
Dual reception system
Signal reception in the VHF band is often accompanied by strong noise associated with good reflection of ultrashort waves from various obstacles. To improve the reception quality, a dual reception system based on two antennas was used. The first antenna is a conventional telescopic antenna. The second antenna - wire type - is glued to the rear window of the car. The system automatically switches to the antenna that currently provides the best reception.
Security system
To minimize the risk of theft, the audio system is equipped with a security system using a four-digit digital code. Without entering the code, turning on the radio is not possible. During normal operation, the audio system is not blocked and operates normally.
The security system works only when the module is removed from the instrument panel. The module can only be unlocked by entering a specific code. The code is individual for each radio, cannot be changed and is indicated on a special card, which is inserted into the glove box at the vehicle assembly site.

If the player's cassette is left open for more than 15 seconds, the cassette will automatically close to protect the CD from accidental damage. In this case, the playback mode does not automatically turn on.
8 cm CDs cannot be loaded into the player by pressing the play button. The autoload mode does not work in this case either.
