door can be opened only from the outside.
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect elec-

pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
The remote keyless entry keyfob trans-
mits radio waves when the buttons are
pressed. The FAA advises the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
remote keyless entry keyfob while on an
airplane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the unit is
stored for a flight.
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn on the
interior lights, and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.
Some settings for the keyfob, such as horn beep,
can be adjusted. For vehicles without navigation
system, refer to “Silencing the horn beep feature”
in this section. For vehicles with navigation sys-
tem, refer to “Comfort & convenience settings” in
the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice
recognition systems” section in this manual.

cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the BluetoothHands-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 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 and pairing.
● You 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 a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun-
tainous 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 dur-
ing a call.
● 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
disruption.
● While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth wireless connection, the bat-
tery power of the cellular phone may dis-

● If the hands-free phone system seems to be
malfunctioning, see “Troubleshooting guide”
in this section. You can also visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.
