Nissan ARIYA 2023 Owners Manual
8.9. Heater and air conditioner
The air conditioning cooling function operates only when the power switch is in the ON position or when the READY to drive indicator light is illuminated.
Never leave children or adults who would normally require the support of others alone in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls and inadvertently become involved in a serious accident and injure themselves. 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 interior air to become stale and the windows to fog up.
Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning controls while driving so that full attention may be given to vehicle operation.
Odours from inside and outside the vehicle can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odour can enter the passenger compartment through the vents.
When parking, set the heater and air conditioner controls to turn off air recirculation to allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. This should help reduce odours inside the vehicle.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the READY to drive indicator light is illuminated. However, while charging, the heater and air conditioner can be used when the power switch is in the ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be turned on automatically using the timer function.
These functions operate in the following conditions.
Power switch position | OFF | Auto ACC | ON | READY to drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Fan | - | - | X | X |
Heater and air conditioner | - | - | X | X |
Timer (Climate Ctrl. Timer) | X | X | - | - |
- X:Available
A series of operation sounds may be heard immediately after heater and air conditioner system ON/OFF operation. This is not a malfunction.
Condensation forms inside the heater and air conditioner system unit when the heater and air conditioner system is running, and is safely discharged underneath your vehicle. Traces of water on the ground are therefore normal.
Compressor and motor fan may suddenly start to operate during charging operation. This is not a malfunction.
