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 the READY to drive
indicator light is ON.
Your vehicle 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 a cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, the procedure for con-
necting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone is automatically
selected with the in-vehicle phone module when
the power switch is pushed to the "ON" position
with the selected cellular phone turned on and
carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 3 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 phone commands, so dialing a phone
number using your voice is possible.
“8. Voice recognition”
Before using the Bluetooth®Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
®
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz) . Using the Bluetooth®and the
wireless LAN functions at the same time may
slow down or disconnect the communica-
tion and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth
®
functions. .
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 recommended 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 to prevent dialing.
. 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 power switch is
pushed to the "ON" position, it may be
impossible to receive a call for a short period
of time.
BLUETOOTH®HANDS-FREE PHONE
SYSTEM

.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.
. The battery display on the monitor will not
coincide with the battery 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.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The driving range cannot be displayed. The power switch is in the "ACC" position.The driving range can be displayed when the power
switch is in the "ON" position or when the READY to
drive indicator light is on.
It cannot be displayed because the distance to empty is
too short. Charge the battery. Once the distance to empty
increased it will be displayed.
The driving range is displayed in an oval shape. As a result of the system correcting latitude and longitude, it may not be displayed as a circle.This is not a malfunction.
The distance to empty that is displayed in the lower left
hand side of the driving range and the scale of the map
do not match. As the map is displayed in 2D, the distance to empty
may differ from the actual distance on the road.
This is not a malfunction.
Drive using the numerical value on the lower left hand
side of the screen as a guide.
