Your NISSAN is equipped with the Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have a com-
patible Bluetooth® enabled cellular phone, you
can set up the wireless connection between your
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module.
With Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can
make or receive a hands-free telephone call with
your cellular phone in the vehicle.
Once your cellular phone is connected to the
in-vehicle phone module, no other phone con-
necting procedure is required. Your phone isautomatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module when the power switch is placed
in the ON position with the previously connected
cellular phone turned on and carried in the ve-
hicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
connections to other Bluetooth® devices. If
your phone does not connect automatically
to the system, consult the phone’s Owner’s
Manual for details on device operation.

You can connect up to 5 different Bluetooth®
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
• Set up the wireless connection between a com-
patible cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module before using the hands-free phone sys-
tem.
• Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular phones may
not be recognized or work properly. Please visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list and connecting instructions.
• You will not be able to use a hands-free phone
under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular service
area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult
to receive a cellular signal; such as in a
tunnel, in an underground parking garage,
near a tall building or in a mountainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked to prevent it
from being 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.
• 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® wireless connection, the battery
power of the cellular phone may discharge
quicker than usual. The Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System cannot charge cellular
phones.
• If the hands-free phone system seems to be
malfunctioning, see “Troubleshooting guide” in
this section. You can also 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

USING THE SYSTEM
The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth® Phone
System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Initialization
When the power switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. If the
button is
pressed before the initialization completes, the
system will announce “Hands-free phone system
not ready” and will not react to voice commands.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the following:
• Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate sur-
rounding 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 be-
tween words.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. 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. Please
try again.”Make sure the command is said ex-
actly as prompted by the system and repeat the
command in a clear voice.
• If you want to go back to the previous command,
you can say “Go back” or “Correction” any time
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 press and
hold the
button on the steering wheel for
5 seconds at any time to end the VR session.
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, press the volume control switches (+
or -) on the steering wheel while being provided
with feedback. You can also use the radio vol-
ume control knob.
• In most cases you can interrupt the voice feed-
back to speak the next command by pressing
the
button on the steering wheel.
• To use the system faster, you may speak the
second level commands with the main menu
command on the main menu. For example,
press the
button and after the tone say,
“Call Redial.”
How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer
to the following rules and examples.
• Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-45

– “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 continue entering
digits, if desired.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero”
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 zero zero”• Say “pound” for “#”. Say “star” for “*” (available
when using the “Special Number” command
and the “Send” command during a call) .
See “List of voice commands” and “Special
number” in this section for more information.
Example: 1-555-1212 *123
– “One five five five one two one two star one
two three”
• Say “plus” for “+” (available only when using the
“Special Number” command) .
• Say “pause” for a 2-second pause (available
only when storing a phone book number) .
NOTE:
For best results, say phone numbers as
single digits.
The voice command “Help” is available at any
time. Please use the “Help” command to get
information on how to use the system.
