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. For more
details, see “NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION
SYSTEM (models with navigation system)” later
in this section; page 4-106.
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.
. Immediatelyaftertheignitionswitchis
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.
. Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging,
cellular phone antenna, etc.
. The antenna display on the monitor will not
coincide with the antenna display of some
cellular phones.
. Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize its echoes.
. If reception between callers is unclear,
adjusting the incoming or outgoing call
volume may improve the clarity.

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

Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an owner
of a Bluetooth
®enabled cellular phone, you can
set up the wireless connection between your
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module.
With Bluetooth®wireless technology, 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. Your phone is automati-
cally connected with the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is 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.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located in the ceiling in front of the
rearview mirror) are used for the handsfree
communications.
If the audio system is being used at the time, the
audio mode will mute and will stay muted until
the active call is ended.
The NISSAN Voice Recognition system sup-
ports the phone commands, so dialing a phone
number using your voice is possible.

command. See the “List of voice com-
mands” later in this section for the voice
command list. Speak “Call” for example.
INFO
Voice commands cannot be recognized as
long as the screen icon is not in the
command recognition mode. 4. The system acknowledges the command
and announces the next set of available
commands.

6. When you have finished speaking the phone number, the system repeats it back and
announces the available commands.
7. After system responds, speak “Dial” and the system dials the spoken numbers.
Operating tips:
. Voice commands cannot be accepted when
the icon is

. If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push theswitch or the BACKbutton
once to return to the previous screen.
. If you want to cancel the command, push the

adjust the volume of the system feedback,
push the volume control buttons [+] or [ ]
on the steering wheel or use the audio
system volume knob while the system is
making an announcement. How to speak commands:
The Voice Recognition System requires a
certain way to speak voice commands. Speak
normally and clearly in the direction of the
microphone (located in front of the rearview
mirror) . Every digit of the number must be
spoken individually and in a normal manner.
The hands-free mode will work best when the
telephone number is spoken in blocks of three to
five digits. After each spoken block is termi-
nated, the system will repeat the three to five
digits and wait for you to speak the next digit or
block of digits required for the telephone
number.
See “List of voice commands” later in this
section for the appropriate commands that can
be spoken for the hands-free mode system.
Example:
In order to initiate a call, speak “Phonebook”.
INFO
.
If you are controlling the telephone system
by voice command for the first time or do not
know the appropriate voice command,
speak “Help”. The system announces the
available commands.
. When you speak numbers, you can speak
both “zero” or “oh” for “0”.

.The vehicle is driven during voice adaptation
mode.
. The ignition switch is placed in the OFF or
LOCK position. NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information
and Audio systems in one of two modes,
Standard Mode or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, commands that are available
are always shown on the display and announced
by the system. You can complete your desired
operation by simply following the prompts given
by the system. (See “NISSAN VOICE RECOG-
NITION STANDARD MODE” later in this section
for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN
VOICE RECOGNITION ALTERNATE COM-
MAND MODE” later in this section for details.)
When this mode is active, an expanded list of
commands can be spoken after pushing the
TALK
switch, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Review the
expanded command list, which is available when
this mode is active. Note that in this mode the
recognition success rate may be affected as the
number of available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased.
To switch one mode to another, see each mode
description later in this section.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
