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 or
the hybrid system.
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.
. For U.S. and Canada:
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/
. For Mexico:
Some Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Consult a NISSAN dealer for
details regarding phone compatibility.
. 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.
4-2

— Your cellular phone is locked in order toprevent 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.
. For U.S. and Canada:
Visit the website below for troubleshooting
help if the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning.

. For Mexico:
If the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, it is recom-
mended you consult a NISSAN dealer for support.
. 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.
