CAUTION*8,'($)(($(&%$)&.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine or the hybrid
system is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods
of time with the engine or the hybrid
system 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.
RADIONCGNJN1402-120906-2E7BDA12-EFEE-40F2-BD7E-0C1AD5ECA109Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you listen
to the radio with the engine or the hybrid system
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 receptionNCGNJN1402-120906-89FE3704-0B57-4447-88CD-7BD9D337A7DCYour 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 receptionNCGNJN1402-120906-275BC1BF-3C52-437B-9A90-2B55439E4402
SAA0306
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

and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio receptionNCGNJN1402-120906-F3C8ECE4-EFC7-4ED4-9553-9C805FE5ED54AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can bounce off the
ionosphere and be bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics, AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception (for
U.S.)
NCGNJN1402-633FD57A-547D-47B6-A341-C9B5BFCD27BDHD Radio Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts.
ªRadio Menuº (page 3-16)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available) , providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When this
feature is not activated or HD Radio broadcasts
are not available, you will receive analog radio
(AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception (for U.S. and
Canada)
NCGNJN1402-120906-2273FD6D-FB06-452C-998D-A63512E7162FWhen the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of
any metal or large building for the satellite radio
to receive all of the necessary data.
SiriusXM services require a subscription after
trial period and are sold separately or as a
package. The satellite service is available only in
the 48 contiguous USA and DC. SiriusXM
satellite service is also available in Canada; see
www.siriusxm.ca.
The satellite radio performance may be affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.

stopping your vehicle in a safe loca-
tion. If you have to use NissanCon-
nect
SMServices while driving,
exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to vehicle operation.
. If you are unable to devote full
attention to vehicle operation while
talking with the NissanConnect
SM
Services, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle.
. Do not use NissanConnect
SMServices with
the engine or the hybrid system stopped.
Doing so may discharge the vehicle battery.
. NissanConnect
SMServices cannot be used
under the following conditions:
Ð NissanConnect
SMServices subscription
has expired.
Ð The vehicle is outside the area where the cellular network service is receivable.
Ð The vehicle is in a location with poor signal reception such as tunnels, under-
ground parking garages, behind buildings
or in mountainous areas.
Ð The line is busy.
Ð The TCU (Telematics Control Unit) or other systems of your vehicle are not
working properly.
Ð The NissanConnect

sional difficulty in receiving signals, and the
signal receivable area may be limited com-
pared to regular mobile phones.
. You may hear clicks or experience interrup-
tions while speaking with the NissanCon-

is due to a shift in the connection zone and is
not a malfunction.
. Depending on the line used, the sound
volume may decrease. Adjust the volume as
necessary.
. Received sounds may be distorted or
ambient noise may sound like voices of a
crowd. This is due to the use of the digital
line and is not a malfunction.
. You may hear your own voice from the
speaker when talking with the NissanCon-
nect
SMServices Response Specialists due
to a network disturbance. When this occurs,
reconnect the line after a few minutes or at a

Each volume level (ring tone, incoming voice or
outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between the
navigation screen and a cellular phone screen.
Making or receiving a call is unavailable even
though the antenna display shows that it is
possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the model
of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna display
and remaining battery level shown on the navigation screen
may be different from those shown on the cellular phone
screen. Use them as a reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using a
cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or comple-
tely shut out radio waves that are used for cellular
phones. Move to a place without tall buildings.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads, high
voltage electric power cables, traffic signals,
neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from radio
devices may adversely affect the cellular phone.
This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio
system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular phone
may adversely affect the sound from the audio
system. This is not a malfunction.
Sound skips or stutters. The cellular phone may have turned on the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).
