tion.
Microphone installed model
If equipped with a genuine NISSAN cellular
phone (US only), your NISSAN features a
non-directional microphone in the steering
column cover, so it is not necessary to look
at or speak directly into the microphone
when calling. To do so could detract from
the driving operation and cause an acci-
dent. See the manual for car phone opera-
tion.
Pre-wired and antenna for phone
installed model
Some models are pre-wired to accept the
genuine NISSAN cellular phone (US only).
In addition, the same model has the phone
antenna built into the rear glass window.
When installing a CB, ham radio or car
phone in your NISSAN, be sure to observe
the following cautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the MFI
