I didn't get an owner's manual with my car so I can't look up the particulars there. When it dropped to 37 degrees and there were snow flurries falling (in Dallas??!!! It was 80 on Tuesday, dammit!) and the word "ICY" popped up on the temperature/mileage display.

Did I just get a really smart car or what?

 

Man that's pretty damn cool. I wonder if the 6th gen's do that?

 

When the temperature is 3 Celsius or under the display shows ICY... That's about there in Fahrenheit...

 

that display shows the exterior temp from an exterior sensor...it gets close to freezing...it says icy

 

now download a manual http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/nissa...p?dept%5Fid=37

you can avoid telling us stuff we already know

 

I like that feature but the best is the heated steering wheel.

 

I wasn't telling, I was asking, I swear!

I'll have to d/l the owner's manual but do you know of any way to get a hard copy? Would the local Nissan dealer have one or be able to order it?

 

try ebay...theres usually a bunch on there

hey scottwax, you have PM regarding owners manual.

 

there is a sensor under the ffront grill that reads the temperature outside. by the way you dont need heated seats or a wheel in a sports sedan

 

thats been established

spoken like a guy who wishes he had it
what about in a "luxury" sports sedan

 

i dont need it 98% of the time in Houston.. but i'm a gizmo guy. i like buttons, so i wish i had it. but no big deal..at least i have a heater that works awesome. the I35 my dad used to have had heated everything, (including backseat) now that was nifty ( even though i dont think we ever even used it once..)

 

You do if you live where it gets freakin cold!

 

It's all about temperture

 

Agreed. I have cloth seats so they don't get cold like leather anyway.

 

I brought a sheep fur seat cover for my nonheated leather seat

 

Any chance you have a link to an online Haynes Manual, too? Mine has been misplaced since I moved and I'm going nuts.

 

there are places you can download the Nissan FSM which is better that Haynes

 

Thanks sooner.

 

speaking of rear heated seats, i wantd to do this to my car after drving in my boys sabb

I was looking at the aftermarket heated seat kits they have online but then later changed my mind ....

Any one ever have/install a aftermarket heated seat setup ?

 

why do you need heated rear seats?
i rarely have anyone ride in my backseat

 

If you think that's cool, wait till it says HOT. I think it does it over 100 degrees. I asked this very same question 3 years ago.

 

sarcasm or serious, b/c mine never said that? It was reading 105+ on the road every day for a few weeks this summer

 

I've used the heated steering wheel daily since November started.
I would barely call my ride a sports sedan...

 

then you would be happy with a car like a 350z or a 300zx, but i love my qwk roomy 4 dr sedan and i often have ppl in the back.

And rear heated sats would be nice to add to my heated steering wheel and


srry for going o.t. bros

 

mine never says hot before even when it got to 113 few months back. only says ICY when it was like 37 or something but that only happened once here haha

 

 

and the heated seats!

 

I've got nothing of these, and I live in Nebraska.

 

Just this week my wife and I were commenting on how nice the heated seats in my Max are. It was below freezing and the leather just wasn't cutting it.

Then, all of a sudden, my 7-year old pipes up from the backseat "I want a heated seat, too!!"

Too bad he still sits in a booster. I doubt I could wire that without melting it.
