module when the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position with the paired cellular phone turned
on and carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different BluetoothT
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the BluetoothTHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
cSet up the wireless connection between a
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module before using the hands-free phone
system.
cSome BluetoothTenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit www.nissan-
usa.com/bluetooth for a recommended
phone list.
cYou will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular ser-
vice area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is
difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking ga-
rage, near a tall building or in a mountain-
ous 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 sur-
rounded by metal or far away from the in-vehicle
phone module to prevent tone quality degrada-
tion and wireless connection disruption.
While a cellular phone is connected through the
BluetoothTwireless connection, the battery
power of the cellular phone may discharge
quicker than usual.
If the hands-free phone system seems to be
malfunctioning, please refer to “Troubleshooting
guide” later in this section. You can also visit
www.nissan-usa.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.
Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual re-
garding the telephone charges, cellular phone
antenna and body, etc.

USING THE SYSTEM
The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the BluetoothTPhone
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 turned to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. When completed,
the amber light on the overhead console illumi-
nates and the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the
button is pushed before
the initialization completes, the system will an-
nounce “Hands-free phone system not ready”
and will not react to voice commands.

UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter, it is
necessary to clean the underbody regularly in
order to prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing the acceleration of corrosion on the un-
derbody and suspension. Before the winter pe-
riod and again in the spring, the underseal must
be checked and, if necessary, retreated.
GLASS
When cleaning the rear window, it may be easier
to clean if the high-mounted stop light is removed
first.
Be careful when removing the high-mounted
stop light to reduce the risk of damaging the
high-mounted stop light wires.
To remove the high-mounted stop light:
s1Push toward rear of vehicle.
s2Lift to remove.
The high-mounted stop light must be properly
reinstalled before driving your vehicle.Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with a film after the vehicle is
parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft
cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows,
do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive
cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant
cleaners. They could damage the electri-
cal conductors, radio antenna elements or
rear window defroster elements.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels regularly, especially during win-
ter months in areas where road salt is used. If not
removed, road salt can discolor the wheels.
CHROME PARTS
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish.
TIRE DRESSINGS
NISSAN does not recommend the use of tire
dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to
the tires to help reduce discoloration of the rub-
ber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it may
