BLUETOOTH®MOBILE PHONE
FEATURE
WARNING
Whilst driving, using the mobile phone is ex-
tremely dangerous because it significantly im-
pairs your concentration and diminishes your re-
action capabilities to sudden changes on the
road, and it may lead to a fatal accident. This
applies to all phone call situations such as when
receiving an incoming call, during a phone con-
versation, when calling through the phone book
search, etc.
CAUTION
Certain country jurisdictions prohibit the use of
the mobile phone in the car without hands-free
support.
This chapter provides information about the NISSAN
hands-free phone system using a Bluetooth
®con-
nection.
Bluetooth
®is a wireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system offers a hands-free facility for your
mobile telephone to enhance driving comfort.

tooth®of the audio system, the mobile phone must
first be setup. For details, see “BLUETOOTH®
settings” later in this section. Once it has been
setup, the hands-free mode is automatically acti-
vated on the registered mobile phone (via Blue-
tooth
®) when it comes into range.
A notification message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming
call is being received, as well as when a call is initi-
ated.
When a call is active, the audio system, microphone
(located in the ceiling in front of the rear view mir-
ror), and steering wheel switches enable hands-free
communication.
If the audio system is in use at the time, the radio,
CD, iPod, USB audio, Bluetooth audio or AUX
source mode will be muted and will stay muted until
the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
®system may not be able to connect
with your mobile phone for the following reasons:
•The mobile phone is too far away from the ve-
hicle.
•The Bluetooth®mode on your mobile phone has
not been activated.
•Your mobile phone has not been paired with the
Bluetooth®system of the audio unit.
•The mobile phone does not support Bluetooth®

be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one
or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
•The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of
the spare tyre.
•The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tyre
pressure (for example a flat tyre while driving).
•The TPMS indicator light may not automatically
turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted.After
the tyre is inflated to the recommended COLD
tyre pressure, drive the vehicle at speeds above
25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS. See
“TPMS sensor ID and position recognition” later
in this section
•Following a change in the outside temperature,
the TPMS indicator light may illuminate even if
the tyre pressure has been adjusted properly.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are
cold, and reset the TPMS.
For additional information, see “[Check cold tyre]
message” later in this section.
WARNING
•If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while
driving:
– avoid sudden steering manoeuvres
– avoid abrupt braking
– reduce vehicle speed
– pull off the road to a safe location
– stop the vehicle as soon as possible
•Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur which may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal injury.
•Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-
just the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre plac-
ard to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In
case of a flat tyre, replace it with a spare tyre
as soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section for chang-
ing a flat tyre.)
•When a spare tyre is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on after
1 minute. Be sure to follow all instructions for
wheel replacement and mount the TPMS sys-
tem correctly.
•Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by NISSAN could affect the proper opera-
tion of the TPMS.
•The Genuine NISSAN Emergency Tyre Repair
Sealant or equivalent can be used for tempo-
rarily repairing a tyre. Do not inject any other
tyre liquid or aerosol tyre sealant into the
tyres, as this may cause a malfunction of the
tyre pressure sensors.
•NISSAN recommends using only Genuine
NISSAN Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure. Visit a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop as soon as pos-
sible after using tyre repair sealant (for mod-
els equipped with the emergency tyre punc-
ture repair kit).
CAUTION
•The TPMS may not function properly when the
wheels are equipped with tyre chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
•Do not place metalised film or any metal parts
(antenna, etc.) on the windows. This may
cause poor reception of the signals from the
tyre pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not
function properly.

ADJUSTING TPMS TARGET
PRESSURE
j
ATyre pressure
jBTyre pressure units
jCFront target pressure
jDRear target pressure
If you are using your vehicle in a heavily laden condi-
tion, the tyre pressures should be inflated to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard.
The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle
information display to set the target pressure to the
‘Laden ‘Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See
“Settings” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion. To adjust the target pressure use the steeringwheel switches to select the [Settings] menu, fol-
lowed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select [Target front] and
[Target rear] and set the desired tyre pressure.
The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the
centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen
of the vehicle information display.
TYRE PRESSURE UNITS
The units displayed by the TPMS system can be
selected using the vehicle information display. Se-
lect the [Settings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pres-
sures]. Select [Tyre pressure unit] and choose the
unit that you want.
[CHECK COLD TYRE] MESSAGE
If the tyre pressure becomes higher than the target
pressure during a low tyre pressure condition, the
[Check Cold Tyre] message will be displayed in the
vehicle information display (see “Settings” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section).NOTE
Even if the pressure is above the preset target
pressure, the yellow colour in the tyre pressure
warning means that the tyre pressure is actually
too low. Tyre pressure is increasing during driv-
ing. Check the tyre pressure when the tyre is
cold.
TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the
car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the
tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings
due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system
uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform
temperature compensation calculations.
On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate
the TPMS system reference temperature using the
vehicle information display. See “Settings” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section. This opera-
tion should only be performed when the actual tyre
pressure has been adjusted, whilst the current am-
bient temperature is significantly different to the cur-
rent calibration temperature.
To initiate TPMS temperature calibration use the
steering wheel switches to select the [Settings]
menu, followed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select [Cali-
brate] followed by [Start]. While the calibration pro-
cess is active, the message: [Resetting tyre pres-
sure system] will be displayed in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
