Bluetooth®is a wireless radio communication stan-
dard. This system offers a hands-free facility for your
mobile telephone to enhance driving comfort.
In order to use your mobile phone with the Blue-
tooth
®of the audio system, the mobile phone must
first be setup. For details, see “BLUETOOTH®
settings” later in this section or “BLUETOOTH®
settings” earlier in this section. Once it has been
setup, the hands-free mode is automatically acti-
vated on the registered mobile phone (via Blue-
tooth
®) when it comes into range.
A notification message appears on the audio display
when the phone is connected, when an incoming
call is being received, as well as when a call is initi-
ated.
When a call is active, the audio system, microphone
(located in the ceiling in front of the rear view mir-
ror), and steering wheel switches enable hands-free
communication.
If the audio system is in use at the time, the radio,
CD, or AUX source mode will be muted and will stay
muted until the active call has ended.
The Bluetooth
®system may be not be able to con-
nect with your mobile phone for the following rea-
sons:
•The mobile phone is too far away from the ve-
hicle.
•The Bluetooth®mode on your mobile phone has
not been activated.
•Your mobile phone has not been paired with the
Bluetooth®system of the audio unit.
•The mobile phone does not support Bluetooth®
technology (BT Core v2.0).
NOTE
•For models with NISSAN Connect (Audio with
Navigation system) see the separately pro-
vided Owner’s Manual.
•For details, see your mobile phone’s Owner’s
Manual.
•For assistance with your mobile phone inte-
gration, please visit your local NISSAN dealer.
