When installing a CB, ham radio or car
phone in your vehicle, be sure to observe
the following precautions; otherwise, the
new equipment may adversely affect the
engine control system and other electronic
parts.

WARNING

∙ A cellular phone should not be used

for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle op-
eration. Some jurisdictions prohibit
the use of cellular phones while
driving.

∙ If you must make a call while your ve-

hicle is in motion, the hands free cellu-
lar phone operational mode is highly
recommended. Exercise extreme cau-
tion at all times so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.

∙ If you are unable to devote full atten-

tion to vehicle operation while talking
on the phone, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop your vehicle.

CAUTION

∙ Keep the antenna as far away as pos-

sible

from

the

electronic

control

modules.

∙ Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in

(20 cm) away from the electronic con-
trol system harnesses. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.

∙ Adjust the antenna standing-wave

ratio

recommended

the

manufacturer.

∙ Connect the ground wire from the CB

radio chassis to the body.

∙ For additional information, it is rec-

ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for servicing.

WARNING

∙ Use a phone after stopping your ve-

hicle in a safe location. If you have to
use a phone while driving, exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full at-
tention may be given to vehicle
operation.

∙ If you are unable to devote full atten-

tion to vehicle operation while talking
on the phone, pull off the road to a
safe location and stop your vehicle.

CAUTION

To avoid discharging the vehicle bat-
tery, use a phone after starting the
engine.

Your

NISSAN

equipped

with

the

Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System. If
you have 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 technology, you can

make or receive a hands-free telephone
call with your cellular phone in the 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 ON po-
sition with the previously connected cellu-
lar phone turned on and carried in the ve-
hicle.

NOTE:

Some devices require the user to accept
connections to other Bluetooth® de-
vices; however some phones do not con-
nect automatically to the system. For
additional

information,

refer

the

phone’s Owner’s Manual.

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 before us-
ing the hands-free phone system.

cellular

phones may not be recognized or work
properly.

Please

visit

www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth

www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list and connecting in-
structions.

∙ 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 under-
ground parking garage, near a tall
building or in a mountainous area.

– Your cellular phone is locked to pre-

vent 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 per-
son’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 connec-
tion, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
The Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem cannot charge cellular phones.

∙ For additional information, please visit

www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth

www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting 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 differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate
the noise.

∙ For additional information, refer to the

cellular phone Owner’s Manual regard-
ing the telephone charges, cellular
phone antenna and body, etc.

USING THE SYSTEM

The system allows hands-free operation of
the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System.

If the vehicle is in motion, some commands
may not be available so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.

Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, 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. Close the windows to elimi-
nate surrounding noises (traffic noises,
vibration sounds, etc.), which may pre-
vent 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 paus-

ing between 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
microphone, and voice feedback is given
when the command is accepted.

∙ If you need to hear the available com-

mands 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

said

exactly

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 say-
ing, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system an-
nounces “Cancel” and ends the Voice
Recognition session. You can also press
and hold the

button on the steer-

ing wheel for 5 seconds at any time to
end the Voice Recognition session.
Whenever the Voice Recognition ses-
sion is canceled, a double beep is
played to indicate you have exited the
system.

∙ If you want to adjust the volume of the

voice feedback, push the volume con-
trol switches (+ or -) on the steering
wheel while being provided with feed-
back. You can also use the radio Volume
control knob.

or Recent Calls lists. To reactivate Voice
Recognition, exit the manual control mode
by pressing and holding the

button.

At that time, pressing the
