interruption of data transmission and, as a result,
certain features may be temporarily unavailable.
Even if areas with good signal reception, cellular
connectivity can be adversely affected by things
such as tall buildings, apartments, tunnels, un-
derground parking, mountainous areas, etc. Even
if the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle data
communication module indicates good recep-
tion, connectivity may be disrupted. This does not
indicate a malfunction. Operate the system again
after a few minutes to restore connectivity. CAR-
WINGS™ telematics features are offered as a
convenience to the vehicle owner. NISSAN is not
responsible for, and owner assumes all risk of,
interruptions in service or errors based on incom-
plete or inaccurate data. CARWINGS™ commu-
nications may be received at a verified e-mail
address or by SMS/text messaging-enabled mo-
bile phone. Standard text rates and/or data usage
may apply depending on your carrier.If your vehicle’s telematics account is active, and
you are not the original owner, please contact
NISSAN at the website or phone number above
as soon as possible to update the telematics
enrollment information. Upon sale of the vehicle,
please contact NISSAN at the website or phone
number above so that NISSAN’s records may be
updated. CARWINGS™ subscription services
will automatically terminate at the end of the initial
free term if you do not wish to renew your sub-
scription agreement at the prices then in effect.This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re-
corder (EDR) . The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand-
ing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were oper-
ating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
