not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-61

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. Point all vents away from the micro-
phone area and 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 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 Voice Recognition session. You can
also press and hold the
button on the
steering wheel for 5 seconds at any time to end
the Voice Recognition session. Whenever the Voice Recognition 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.
Voice Prompt Interrupt
In most cases you can interrupt the voice feed-
back to speak the next command by pressing the
button on the steering wheel. After inter-
rupting the system, wait for a beep before speak-
ing your command.
One Shot Call
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”.
CONTROL BUTTONS
The control buttons for the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System are located on the steering
wheel.

speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to active the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tier
pressure.The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning also
appears on the vehicle information display
when the low tire pressure warning light is
illuminated oand low tire pressure is detected.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning turns
off when the low tire pressure waning light
turns off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning appears
each time the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position as long as the low tirepressure warning
light remains illuminated.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning does not
appear if the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates to indicate a TPMS malfunction.
• Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by operation of the vehicle and the
outside temperature. Do not reduce the tire
pressure after driving because the tire pressure
rises after driving. Low outside temperature can
lower the temperature of the air inside the tire,
which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure.
This may cause the low tire pressure warning
light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires.
• you can also check the pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the display screen.
The order of the tire pressure figures displayed
on the screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.
WARNING
• Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the electric medical equipment manu-
facturer for the possible influences be-
fore use. • If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Driving
with under-inflated tires may perma-
nently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and may
lead to an accident and could result in
serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the tire is flat, repair it as soon
as possible. (Refer to “Flat tire” in the
“In case of emergency” section for
changing a flat tire.)
•
Since the spare tire is not equipped with
the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted
or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the tow tire pressure warn-
ing light will flash for approximately 1
minute. The light will remain on after 1
minute. Contact a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible fore tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
Starting and driving5-3

• Replacing tires with those not origi-nally specified by NISSAN could affect
the proper operation of the TPMS.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pres-
sure sensors.
CAUTION
• The TPMS may not function properly when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried in
snow.
• Do not place metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception
of the signals from the tire pressure
sensors, and the TPMS will not func-
tion properly.
Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. Some examples are:
• Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies that are near the vehicle.
• If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle. • If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC
converter is being used in or near the vehicle.
Low tire pressure warning light may illuminate
in the following cases.
– If the vehicle equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.
– If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered.
– If the wheel is not originally specified by NISSAN.
