Your NISSAN is equipped with Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an owner
of a compatible Bluetooth
®enabled cellular
phone, you can set up the wireless connection
between your cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module. With Bluetooth®wireless tech-
nology, you can make or receive a telephone call
with your cellular phone in your pocket.
Once your cellular phone is paired to the in-
vehicle phone module, no phone connectingprocedure is required anymore. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phonemodulewhentheignitionswitchis
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
®
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
SYSTEM (models with navigation system)” later
in this section; page 4-109.
Before using the Bluetooth

.Some Bluetooth
®enabled 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
