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 reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and 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.Satellite radio reception:
When 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.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The sa-
tellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and
Guam.
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 build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.

When installing a car phone or a CB radio in
your vehicle, be sure to observe the following
cautions, otherwise the new equipment may
adversely affect the electronic control modules
and electronic control system harness.
WARNING
.A cellular phone should not be used
for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation. Some jurisdictions prohi-
bit the use of cellular phones while
driving.
. If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recom-
mended. Exercise extreme caution
at all times so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
. If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
.Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic control
modules.
. Keep the antenna wire more than 8
in (20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harness. Do not
route the antenna wire next to any
harness.
. Adjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
. Connect the ground wire from the
CB radio chassis to the body.
. For details, it is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer.
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 after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth
Š
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an owner
of a compatible BluetoothŠenabled cellular
phone, you can set up the wireless connection
between your cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module. With Bluetooth
Šwireless tech-
nology, you can make or receive a telephone call
with your cellular phone in your pocket.
CAR PHONE OR CB RADIO BluetoothŠHANDS-FREE PHONE
SYSTEM

Once a cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, no phone connecting
procedure is required anymore. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position with the registered
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
The NISSAN Voice Recognition system sup-
ports the phone commands, so dialing a phone
number using your voice is possible. For more
details, see “NISSAN Voice Recognition sys-
tem” (P.4-117).
Before using the Bluetooth
ŠHands-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 communica-
tion and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth
Š
functions. .
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 BluetoothŠenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list.
. 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 not to be dialed.
. 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
pushed to 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 dis-
ruption.
. While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual.
. If the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, please visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting 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 pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging,
cellular phone antenna, etc.
. The antenna display on the monitor will not
coincide with the antenna 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.
