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 elec-
tronic control modules and electronic
control system harness.
WARNING
.A cellular phone should not be
used for any purpose while driv-
ing so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation. Some juris-
dictions prohibit the use of cellu-
lar 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
recommended. Exercise extreme
caution at all times so full atten-
tion 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 con-
trol modules.
. Keep the antenna wire more than
8 in (20 cm) away from the
electronic control system har-
ness. Do not route the antenna
wire next to any harness.
. Adjust the antenna standing-
wave ratio as recommended by
the manufacturer.
. 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 en-
gine.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Blue-
tooth® Hands-Free Phone System. If you
have a compatible Bluetooth® enabled
cellular phone, you can set up the wire-
less connection between your cellular
phone and the in-vehicle phone module.
With Bluetooth® wireless technology, you
can make or receive a hands-free tele-
phone call with your cellular phone in the
Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems4-83

(models without navigation system)

4-84Heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
vehicle.
Once your cellular phone is connected to
the in-vehicle phone module, no other
phone connecting 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 con-
nected cellular phone turned on and
carried in the vehicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
connections to other Bluetooth® de-
vices. 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® 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 be-
tween a compatible cellular phone
and the in-vehicle phone module be-
fore using the Hands-Free Phone
System. .
Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by
the in-vehicle phone module. Please
visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth
or www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for a re-
commended phone list.
. You will not be able to use a hands-
free phone under the following condi-
tions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the cel-
lular service area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive a cellular signal;
such as in a tunnel, in an under-
ground 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 disruption.
. While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the
cellular phone may discharge quicker
than usual. The Bluetooth® Hands- Free Phone System cannot charge
cellular phones.
. If the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning,
visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth
or www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for trou-
bleshooting 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 elim-
inate the noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone owner’s
manual regarding the telephone
charges, cellular phone antenna and
body, etc.

Operating tips:
To get the best performance out of the
voice recognition system, observe the

quiet as possible. Close the windows
to eliminate surrounding noises (traf-
fic noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system from
recognizing voice commands cor-
rectly.
. Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command. Otherwise, the
command will not be received prop-
erly.
. Start speaking a command within five
seconds after the tone sounds.
. Speak in a natural voice without
pausing between words.
