When installing a car phone or a CB radio in
your vehicle, be sure to observe the following
precautions, otherwise the new equipment may
adversely affect the electronic control modules
and electronic control system harness.
WARNING
.A cellular phone should not be used
for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation. Some jurisdictions prohi-
bit the use of cellular phones while
driving.
.If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recom-
mended. Exercise extreme caution
at all times so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
.If a conversation in a moving vehicle
requires you to take notes, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
.Keep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic control
modules.
.Keep the antenna wire more than 8
in (20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harness. Do not
route the antenna wire next to any
harness.
.Adjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
.Connect the ground wire from the
CB radio chassis to the body.
.For details, it is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
.Use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you
have to use a phone while driving,
exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation.
.If you are unable to devote full
attention to vehicle operation while
talking on the phone, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery,
use a phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Bluetooth
Š
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have a
compatible BluetoothŠenabled cellular phone,
you can set up the wireless connection between
your cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module. With Bluetooth
Šwireless technology,
you can make or receive a hands-free telephone
call with your cellular phone in the vehicle.
CAR PHONE OR CB RADIOBluetooth
ŠHANDS-FREE PHONE
SYSTEM (models without
navigation system)

Once your cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, no other phone connect-
ing procedure is required. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module when the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position with the
previously connected cellular phone turned on
and carried in the vehicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
connections to other Bluetooth
Šdevices. If
your phone does not connect automatic
ally to the system, consult the phone’s
owner’s manual for details on device
operation.
You can connect up to five different Bluetooth
Š
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
.Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Hands-Free
Phone System.
.Some Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit www.nissanusa.
com/bluetooth or www.nissan.ca/bluetoothfor a recommended phone list.
.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 dis-
ruption.
.While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual. The Blue-
tooth
ŠHands-Free Phone System cannot
charge cellular phones.
.If the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth or www.nissan.
ca/bluetooth for troubleshooting help.
.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.
.Refer to the cellular phone owner’s manual
regarding the telephone charges, cellular
phone antenna and body, etc.
