the READY to drive indicator light is OFF, the
power switch should be pushed to 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 receptionGUID-89FE3704-0B57-4447-88CD-7BD9D337A7DCYour NISSAN 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 mal-function in your NISSAN 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.
While charging the vehicle, radio programs may
not be tuned in to because the reception of the
radio becomes weak.
FM radio receptionGUID-275BC1BF-3C52-437B-9A90-2B55439E4402
LNF0001X
Range: 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 receptionGUID-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.
Satellite radio receptionGUID-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.
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 affectedif 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.

.
Do not force a compact disc into the CD
insert slot. This could damage the CD and/
or CD player.
. Trying to load a CD with the CD door closed
could damage the CD and/or CD player.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The other party cannot hear your voice. The other
party can hear your voice, but it cracks or cuts out. The cellular phone is not connected.
Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
The fan speed of the air conditioner is too fast. Decrease the fan speed of the air conditioner.
The ambient noise level is excessive. (For example:
heavy rain, construction sites, inside a tunnel, oncoming
vehicles, etc.) Close the windows to shut out ambient noise.
The noise generated by driving the vehicle is too loud. Reduce the vehicle speed, and then speak a command.
The incoming or outgoing voice level is too loud. Adjust the incoming or outgoing voice level properly.
The voice is cut out or noise is heard during a call. The wireless Bluetooth
®connection may be disrupted
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 a cellular phone close to the seats or
your body.
When a cellular phone is operated to make a call,
the hands-free function becomes unavailable. Some models of a cellular phone do not switch to the
hands-free mode when they are operated to make a
call. This is not a malfunction. Make a call again using the hands-
free function.
The other party’s voice cannot be heard. There is
no ring tone. The volume level is set to the minimum.
Adjust the volume level.
A cellular phone is not connected. Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
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 that 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 completely shut out
radio waves that are used for cellular phones. This is not a malfunction.
