NISSAN COMMUNICATOR
PURPOSEThe purpose of Nissan Communicator is to
provide you with increased security by giving
you a convenient way of contacting the most
appropriate emergency assistance provider
during an emergency. You will have a choice
of functions depending on the service contract
you choose.NISSAN COMMUNICATOR
OUTLINEThis system uses the Global Positioning Sys-
tem (GPS), cellular phone technology and the
Communicator Response Center to provide
the following functions:
IOne touch ªMaydayº emergency dialingIOne touch ªInformationº dialingIAutomatic supplemental air bag inflation
notification
IRemote door unlock
IStolen vehicle tracking
IAlarm notification
SAFE OPERATING
RECOMMENDATIONSIThe Nissan Communicator system
should not be used while driving in
order that full attention may be given
to driving.
IThe cellular phone handset should
not be used while driving in order that
full attention may be given to driving.
IIf you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands-free
cellular phone operational mode is
highly recommended. Exercise ex-
treme caution at all times in order that
full attention may be given to driving.
IIf 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.It is important that you read this Owner's
Manual thoroughly to ensure the safe opera-
tion of your Nissan Communicator system.IThe safest calls are those made when the
vehicle is stopped.
IHands-free cellular phone operation is
highly recommended and is easily main-
tained by keeping the cellular telephone
handset in the cradle.
QUICK SUMMARYI
ªMaydayº emergency and
ªIn-
formationº dialing can take place when the
ignition key is in the ON position or about 3
minutes after it is turned OFF.
IThere will be a delay of at least 25 seconds
from the time the
ªMaydayº emer-
gency or
ªInformationº button is
pressed until a Communicator Response
Center operator answers the call. During
the delay, Nissan Communicator is making
the connection and transmitting vehicle
data to the Communicator Response Cen-
ter. If the cellular lines or landlines are busy,
the delay may be longer.
IVoice communication with the Communica-
tor Response Center is all done through a
hands-free microphone. Audio is heard
through the right front door speaker. To
adjust the speaker volume, push the vol-
ume up/down switch in the steering switch
for the cellular phone.

transmission once the engine has been
started.
IAudio, such as the radio, cassette or com-
pact disc, is unavailable (Auto mute) as
long as Nissan Communicator is connected
to the Communicator Response Center,
unless the vehicle is being monitored in
case of theft or in duress situations.
IWhen stolen vehicle tracking and alarm
notification are used with the optional hand-
set connected, some indications are, at
times, sent to the handset.
IWhen the audio mode is switched to the
data mode on completion of the call a
beeping or hissing noise may be heard. The
noise occurs because the call is being
made through the modem. What you hear
is the modem switching between voice and
data modes. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction.
IIf battery power is lost, for any reason,
during a call to the Communicator Re-
sponse Center, Nissan Communicator will
automatically attempt to redial the Re-
sponse Center when battery power is re-
stored.

FALSE ACTIVATIONS AND
PASSWORD SELECTIONSWhen you complete the contract with the Com-
municator Response Center, you will be given
the option of establishing a user password.
You are strongly encouraged to establish a
password. The password is used to verify your
identity in the following situations:
IYou will be asked to provide a password if
your make a request to unlock the doors by
remote operation.
IWhen the
ªMaydayº emergency but-
ton has been pressed in any nonemer-
gency situation. The Communicator Re-
sponse Center operator will come online
and ask for your password to verify your
identity. If an incorrect password is pro-
vided, the Communicator Response Center
operator will assume you are under duress.
The operator will covertly monitor what is
happening inside the vehicle and contact
the police. The operator will provide the
police with the latest/current vehicle loca-
tion. You do not need to have a password if
you need emergency services. If you
choose not to establish a password, simply
indicate to the operator that the assistance
request was initiated in error and the call
will be terminated.IIf the vehicle's theft warning system was
activated for more than seven seconds, the
Nissan Communicator system contacts the
Communicator Response Center. The
Communicator Response Center operator
will come online and request the password
from the occupant. If no password or an
incorrect password is provided, the opera-
tor will contact the police and provide them
with the latest/current vehicle location.
Choose a password that will not be easy for
someone else to figure out.
All other aspects of your service will be iden-
tical regardless of your password decision.
You can receive phone calls and also adjust
the volume during the conversation. To re-
ceive a phone call, press the
send/end
switch. The audio system automatically turns
off (auto mute) during the call. Press the
send/end switch to end the call. The
audio system will automatically turn on in
about four seconds.

adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.IDo not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.

ditioning controls should not be done
while driving, in order that full atten-
tion may be given to the driving
operation.
