CD CARE AND CLEANING
Handle a CD by its edges. Never touch the
surface of the disc. Do not bend the disc.

Always place the discs in the storage case
when they are not being used.

To clean a disc, wipe the surface from the
center to the outer edge using a clean, soft
cloth. Do not wipe the disc using a circular
motion.
Do not use a conventional record cleaner or
alcohol intended for industrial use.

A new disc may be rough on its inner and
outer edges. Remove the rough edges using
the side of a pen or pencil as illustrated.1. VOLUME control switch

Bluetooth
wireless connection, the battery
power of the cellular phone may discharge
quicker than usual.
If the Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, see “Troubleshoot-
ing guide” later in this section. You can also visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for troubleshoot-
ing help.
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 charges, cellular phone
antenna and body, etc.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed
and operated with minimum distance 8 in (20cm) between the radiator and your body. This
Transmitter must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or trans-
mitter.
USING THE SYSTEMThe NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth
Hands-
Free Phone System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
InitializationWhen the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the amber light on the overhead console
illuminates and the system is ready to accept
voice commands. If the
button is pushed
before the initialization completes, the system
will announce “Hands-free phone system not
ready” and will not react to voice commands.
Operating tipsTo get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the follow-
ing:

Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet aspossible. Close the windows to eliminate
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing voice commands correctly.


Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not be
received properly.

Start speaking a command within 5 seconds
after the tone sounds.

Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.Giving voice commandsTo operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. The light on the overhead con-
sole flashes to signal you have entered a voice
recognition (VR) session. After the tone sounds,
speak a command.
The command given is picked up by the micro-
phone, and voice feedback is given when the
command is accepted.

If you need to hear the available commands
for the current menu again, say “Help” and
the system will repeat them.

If a command is not recognized, the system
announces, “Command not recognized.
Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio systems
4-33


07.7.25/Z33-D/V5.0


Please try again.” Repeat the command in a
clear voice.

If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say “Go back” or “Cor-
rection” anytime the system is waiting for a
response.

You can cancel a command when the system
is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel”
or “Quit.” The system announces “Cancel”
and ends the VR session. You can also push
the
button on the steering wheel at any
time. Whenever the VR session is cancelled,
a double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system.

If you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, push the volume control switch (+
or −) on the steering wheel while being
provided with feedback. You can also use the
radio volume control knob.
How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer
to the rules and examples below.

Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight oh oh six six two six two oh
oh”, or— “One eight zero zero six six two six two oh
oh”

Words can be used for the first 4 digits
places only.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight hundred six six two six two oh
oh”,
— NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty
two hundred, and
— NOT “One eight oh oh six six two sixty two
hundred.

Numbers can be spoken in small groups. The
system will prompt you to continuing entering
digits, if desired.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight oh oh”
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
— “six six two”
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
— “six two oh oh”

You can say “Star” for * and “Pound” for # at
anytime in any position of the phone number.Example: 1-555-1212 *123
— “One five five five one two one two star
one two three”
NOTE:
For best results, say phone numbers as
single digits.
