Unconfirmed Incidents

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The customer may feel that the cabin temperature is not being controlled or regulated to the temperature indicated by the auto A/C display screen. To satisfy individual driver preference the Temperature Setting Trimmer may be used to compensate in a range of +/-3°C (+/-3°F)

Enter Self Diagnosis mode and select STEP 5.
Press the Fan Up switch: This will set the A/C system in auxiliary mode and the display will show 61.
Turn the temperature dial clockwise or counterclockwise: The temperature will change at a rate of 0.5°C (1°F)

If power is lost to the A/C Auto Amp., trimmer setting is canceled and setting becomes that of initial condition, 0°.
