TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEThe system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.SymptomSolution
System fails to interpret the command
correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See “NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM (models with navigation system)” later in
this section; page 4-99.)
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on) . NOTE: If it is too noisy to
use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
The system consistently selects the
wrong voicetag. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “PHONEBOOK REGISTRATION” earlier in this
section.)
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.4-84

WARNING
.Use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you
have to use a phone while driving,
exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation.
. If you find yourself unable to devote
full attention to vehicle operation
while talking on the phone, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery,
use a phone after starting the engine.
Your NISSAN is equipped with Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an owner
of a compatible Bluetooth
®enabled cellular
phone, you can set up the wireless connection
between your cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module. With Bluetooth®wireless tech-
nology, you can make or receive a telephone call
with your cellular phone in your pocket.
Once your cellular phone is paired to the in-
vehicle phone module, no phone connecting procedure is required anymore. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phonemodulewhentheignitionswitchis
pushed to the ON position with the registered
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
®
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
The NISSAN Voice Recognition system sup-
ports the phone commands, so dialing a phone
number using your voice is possible.
Before using the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
. Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth
®enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the telephone service area. — Your vehicle is in an area where it is
difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, behind a tall building or in a
mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locked in order not to be 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.
. Immediately after the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position, it may be
impossible to receive a call for a short
period of time.
. Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the in-
vehicle phone module to prevent tone quality
degradation and wireless connection dis-
ruption.
. While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth
®wireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual.
. If the Bluetooth®Hands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, please visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.

. Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
—“One eight oh oh six six two six two oh
oh”, or
—“One eight zero zero six six two six two oh oh”
. Words can be used for the first 4 digits
places only.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
—“One eight hundred six six two six two oh
oh”,
—NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty two hundred, and
—NOT “One eight oh oh six six two sixty two hundred.
. Numbers can be spoken in small groups.
The system will prompt you to continuing
entering digits, if desired.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
—“One eight zero zero” The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
—“six six two”
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
—“six two zero zero”
. You can say “Star” for * and “Pound” for # at
anytime in any position of the phone number.
(Available only when using the “Call Inter-
national” command.)
Example: 1-555-1212 *123
—“One five five five one two one two star
one two three”
NOTE:
For best results, say phone numbers as
single digits.
