Integrated HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver buttons should be erased for secu-
rity purposes. For additional information,

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

Automatic supplemental air bag
inflation notificationWhen the supplemental air bag inflates, it is
assumed that a collision has taken place.
Nissan Communicator contacts the Communi-
cator Response Center, even if the
ªMaydayº emergency dialing button is
not pressed. The Communicator Response
Center notifies the appropriate local agencies.
The Communicator Response Center will at-
tempt to contact you. If contact is established,
the Communicator Response Center will pro-
vide the responding emergency crews with
information about your condition. The Commu-
nicator Response Center will stay in contact
until the emergency crews arrive.
Remote door unlockIf you lock the keys in your car, you can call the
Communicator Response Center by tele-
phone. Refer to your Nissan Communicator
Card for the Communicator Response Center
telephone number. The Nissan Consumer Af-
fairs department can also provide the tele-
phone number for the Communicator Re-
sponse Center. Keep this number where it will
be available when your vehicle is locked. You
are required to provide a prearranged pass-
word to confirm your identity. Upon verification
that you are the owner, the CommunicatorResponse Center will instruct you how to open
the door.
Stolen vehicle trackingIn some cases of theft, your car can be tracked
by the Communicator Response Center. This
function allows the verified owner of the car to
contact the Communicator Response Center
to attempt to locate the stolen car. If you have
not done so, the Communicator Response
Center operator will help you file a stolen
vehicle report with the appropriate police de-
partment. A stolen vehicle report is often re-
quired before the authorities will dispatch po-
lice officers to the vehicle location. Call the
Communicator Response Center by tele-
phone. Refer to your Nissan Communicator
Card for the Communicator Response Center
telephone number. The Nissan Consumer Af-
fairs department can also provide the tele-
phone number for the Communicator Re-
sponse Center. Keep this number where it will
be available when your vehicle is stolen. In
order to find the location of your stolen car, the
ignition switch must be in the ON position. If
the Communicator Response Center success-
fully locates your vehicle, the operator has the
ability to covertly hear what is happening in-
side the vehicle. The Communicator Re-
sponse Center operator will report any impor-
tant information to the authorities. If you haveany concerns about this feature, you should
contact the Communicator Response Center.
Alarm notificationIf the vehicle's theft warning system is acti-
vated and stays on for more than 7 seconds,
the Nissan Communicator system automati-
cally contacts the Communicator Response
Center. Alarm notification functions regardless
of the ignition switch position. The Communi-
cator Response Center will assess the situa-
tion and will attempt to call you or your emer-
gency contact, if possible. If you are in the
vehicle, the Communicator Response Center
operator will request your password to verify
your identity. It is possible for the Communica-
tor Response Center to covertly hear what is
going on inside the car when this function is
ON. If you have any concerns about this
feature, you should contact the Communicator
Response Center.FUNCTION AND DESCRIPTION

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
