ANTENNA

The antenna cannot be shortened, but can be

removed. When you need to remove the antenna,

turn the antenna rod counterclockwise.
To install the antenna rod, turn the antenna clock-

wise. Tighten the antenna rod to specification

using a suitable tool such as an open-end

wrench. The antenna rod tightening specification

is 2.0 – 2.6 N·m (18 – 23 in-lb). Do not use pliers

to tighten the antenna as they can leave marks on

the antenna surface. The antenna rod cannot be

hand tightened to the proper specification.

CAUTION

Always properly tighten the antenna rod

during installation or the antenna rod may

break during vehicle operation.

When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone in

your NISSAN, be sure to observe the following

precautions, otherwise the new equipment may

adversely affect the engine control system and

other electronic parts.

WARNING

A cellular telephone should not be used

while driving so full attention may be

given to vehicle operation. Some juris-

dictions prohibit the use of cellular tele-

phones while driving.

If you must make a call while your ve-

hicle is in motion, the hands free cellu-

lar phone operational mode (if so

equipped) is highly recommended. Ex-

ercise extreme caution at all times so

full attention may be given to vehicle

operation.

If a conversation in a moving vehicle

requires you to take notes, pull off the

road to a safe location and stop your

vehicle before doing so.

CAUTION

Keep the antenna as far away as pos-

sible from the electronic control

modules.

Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in

(20 cm) away from the electronic con-

trol system harnesses. Do not route the

antenna wire next to any harness.

Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio

as recommended by the manufacturer.

Connect the ground wire from the CB

radio chassis to the body.

For details, consult a NISSAN dealer.
Do not ground electrical accessories

directly to the battery terminal. Doing

so, will bypass the variable voltage con-

trol system and the vehicle battery may

not charge completely. Refer to “Vari-

able voltage control system” in the

“Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-

tion later in this manual.

Use electrical accessories with the en-

gine running to avoid discharging the

vehicle battery.
