Radio Antenna

Window Antenna

The Nissan Sentra is equipped with a window antenna, with the antenna pattern printed directly on the inside of the rear window.

CAUTION

  • Do not place metallized window film near the rear window glass or attach metal objects to it, as this may cause poor radio reception or unwanted noise.
  • When cleaning the inside of the rear window, avoid scratching or damaging the antenna pattern.

    Gently wipe along the antenna using a soft cloth dampened with water.

  • Do not allow luggage or cargo to damage the antenna pattern.

Nissan Sentra satellite radio antenna location

Satellite radio antenna

The satellite radio antenna on the Nissan Sentra is located on the rear portion of the vehicle roof to ensure optimal signal reception.

CAUTION

  • A buildup of ice on the satellite antenna may reduce radio performance.

    Remove any ice accumulation to restore proper radio reception.

  • When clearing snow from the roof, do not apply excessive force to the satellite antenna, as this may cause damage to the antenna or dent the roof panel.
  • When using a high-pressure car wash, keep the nozzle away from the satellite antenna to prevent seal deformation or damage.
  • Radio performance may be reduced if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite signal. Whenever possible, avoid placing cargo near the antenna.
