Auxiliary Mechanism: Temperature Setting Trimmer

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The trimmer compensates for differences in range of ±3°C (±6°F) between temperature setting (displayed digitally) and temperature felt by driver.

Operating procedures for this trimmer are as follows:

Begin Self-diagnosis STEP 5 mode. Refer to "A/C SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION ".
Press top of blower control switch to set system in auxiliary mode.
Display initially shows 61 in auxiliary mechanism. It takes approximately 3 seconds to display the temperature trimmer value.
Rotate temperature control dial clockwise (driver) as desired. Temperature will change at a rate of 0.5°C (1.0°F) each time the dial is turned.

When battery cable is disconnected or if battery voltages falls below 10V, trimmer operation (setting) is canceled. Temperature set becomes that of initial condition, i.e. 0°C (0°F).
