AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
NOTICE
.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine is running. Oper-
ating the audio system for extended
periods of time with the engine
turned off can discharge the vehicle
battery.
. Do not allow the system to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled
liquids may cause the system to
malfunction.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you listen
to the radio with the engine not running, the
ignition switch should be placed in the ACC
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio reception.
These circuits are designed to extend reception
range, and to enhance the quality of that
reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a given
reception area, and do not indicate any malfunc-
tion in your radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other
vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the
device in a different location may reduce or
eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
station) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the FM
station is within 25 miles (40 km) . The strength of
the FM signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the
same characteristics as light. For example they
will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade

BLUETOOTHŠHANDS-FREE
PHONE SYSTEM
WARNING
. Use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you have
to use a phone while driving, exercise
extreme caution at all times so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
. If you find yourself unable to devote
full attention to vehicle operation
while talking on the phone, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use
a phone only after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth
ŠHands-
Free Phone System. If you are an owner of a
compatible Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phone,
you can set up the wireless connection between
your cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module. With Bluetooth
Šwireless technology, you can make or receive a telephone call with
your cellular phone in your pocket.
Once a cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, the procedure for con-
necting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone is automatically
selected with the in-vehicle phone module when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position
with the selected cellular phone turned on and
carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
devices in the in-vehicle phone module. How-
ever, you can talk on only one cellular phone at a
time.
The voice recognition system supports phone
commands, so dialing a phone number using
your voice is possible.
“7. Voice recognition”
Before using the BluetoothŠHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
Š
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz) . Using the BluetoothŠand the
wireless LAN functions at the same time may
slow down or disconnect the communication
and cause undesired noise. It is recom-
mended that you turn off the wireless LAN
(Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth
Šfunctions. .
Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Bluetooth
Š
Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Visit the website below for a
recommended phone list.
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the telephone service area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, behind a tall building or in a
mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locked in order to prevent dialing.
. When the radio wave condition is not ideal or
ambient sound is too loud, it may be difficult
to hear the other person’s voice during a call.
. Immediately after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, it may be
impossible to receive a call for a short period
of time.

.Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the in-
vehicle phone module to prevent tone quality
degradation and wireless connection disrup-
tion.
. While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual.
. Visit the website below for troubleshooting
help if the Bluetooth

. Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging,
cellular phone antenna, etc.
. The antenna display on the monitor may not
coincide with the antenna display of some
cellular phones.
. The battery display on the monitor may not
coincide with the battery display of some cellular phones.
. Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize its echoes.
. If reception between callers is unclear,
adjusting the incoming or outgoing call
volume may improve the clarity.
. The microphone is located near the map
light.
. Reduce background noise as much as
possible by closing windows and pointing
HVAC vents away from the ceiling.

9. Troubleshooting guide
BLUETOOTHŠHANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
A cellular phone cannot be registered. The cellular phone is not compatible with the in- vehicle hands-free phone system. Use a cellular phone compatible with the system. Visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/ to check compatibility.
Registration of the cellular phone has been per-
formed incorrectly. Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
A cellular phone cannot be connected or is
disconnected after the registration is com-
pleted. The Bluetooth
Šsetting of the in-vehicle hands-free
phone system is turned off. Turn on the BluetoothŠsetting of the system.
The Bluetooth
Šsetting of the cellular phone is turned
off. Turn on the BluetoothŠsetting of the cellular phone.
The remaining battery level of the cellular phone is
low. Charge the battery of the cellular phone.
The wireless Bluetooth
Šconnection may be dis-
rupted depending on the location of the cellular
phone. Do not place the cellular phone in an area surrounded by
metal or far away from the in-vehicle hands-free phone
system. Do not place the cellular phone close to the seats
or your body.
Registration of the cellular phone is not completed. Perform registration of the cellular phone.
A call to a particular phone number fails. If the system tries to make a call several times to the same phone number (for example: the party does not
respond to the call, the party is out of the service
area, or the call is abandoned before the party
responds) , the system may reject a request to make a
call to the phone number. Turn off the cellular phone and turn it on again to reset the
connection.
