usual due to the power used to heat or
cool the vehicle.
. Certain remote functions require a
compatible smart phone, which is not
included with vehicle.

7-2Bluetooth®Hands-Free Phone System
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

*When the GPS positioning accuracy is low.
INFO:
. The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after the READY to
drive indicator light is ON.
. The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
. The system has a function that automatically
corrects the vehicle icon position when it is
misaligned from the actual position.
. Vehicle position correction by GPS may not
function when the vehicle is stopped.
. If the vehicle icon position does not return to
normal even after driving for a while, correct
the vehicle icon position manually.

Detailed Map Coverage Areas
(MCA) for navigation system
This system is designed to help guiding to the
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, the system
must be used safely and properly. Information
concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the
availability of services may not always be up-to-
date. The system is not a substitute for safe,
proper and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas in the
United States and Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
INFO:
Detailed map data is not available in many areas
and is generally limited to select major metro-
politan areas.
When gray road is displayed on map
. When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance,
automatic rerouting may not start immedi-
ately. .
The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green. Therefore, if the destination is set on
a road displayed in dark green, the enlarged
map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination. Also, voice
guidance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the destination.
. Places information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be con-
tained in the map data.
ROUTE CALCULATION
.There may be cases where carpool lanes are
included on a suggested route when the
automatic rerouting function is activated,
even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
turned off.
“Setting conditions for route calcula-
tion” (page 3-55)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the
ordinary map screen at some point and
suggest a route that is near the destination.
The distance and direction to the endpoint
of the suggested route will be displayed in
