• Air conditioning is limited to the capacity of the
electric power when the charge connector is
connected to the vehicle. Therefore, the tem-
perature may not reach a comfortable level due
to performance of the air conditioning being
limited, if the outside temperature is excessively
high or low, or if the charge connector is con-
nected to a 120V outlet.
• If the power switch is in the ON position or the
charge connector is disconnected, while the
remote climate control is being operated, re-
mote climate control operation is automatically
stopped and an e-mail is sent.
• If remote climate control operation is started
while the vehicle is in normal charge mode, the
climate control operates in climate control pri-
ority mode and charging is continued.
• If remote climate control operation is started
and charging is stopped while the vehicle is in
quick charge mode, climate control operation is
also stopped.
• If the quick charge connector is connected and
charging is not performed, remote climate con-
trol operation starts using the battery electric
power of the vehicle.

FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 – 30 mi
(40 – 48 km) , with monaural (single channel) FM
having slightly more range than stereo FM. Exter-
nal influences may sometimes interfere with FM
station reception even if the FM station is within
25 mi (40 km) . The strength of the FM signal is
directly related to the distance between the
transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-
of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same char-
acteristics as light. For example, they will reflect
off objects.Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position
(usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter) , static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary flutter or loss of sound.AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics, AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmitter
to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for severalseconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a mal-
function. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite
radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or
large building for satellite radio to receive all of
the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available and “NO
SAT” is displayed when the SAT band option is
selected unless optional satellite receiver and
antenna are installed and a SiriusXM Satellite
Radio service subscription is active. Satellite ra-
dio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio
signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
antenna.

IPOD® PLAYER OPERATION
Connecting iPod®:
The USB outlet connector is located in the center
console. Open the lid and connect the iPod®
cable to the USB connector. The battery of the
iPod® is charged while the connection to the
vehicle.
Depending on the version of the iPod®, the dis-
play on the iPod® shows a NISSAN or Acces-
sory Attached screen when the connection is
completed. When the iPod® is connected to the
vehicle, the iPod® music library can only be
operated by the vehicle audio controls.* iPod® and the iPhone® are a trademark of
Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other coun-
tries.
CAUTION
• Depending on size and shape of the
iPod® and iPod® cable, the console
lid may not fully close. Do not force
console lid closed as this may damage
the iPod® and iPod® cable.
• Do not force the iPod® cable into the
USB port. Inserting the USB device
tilted or up-side-down into the port
may damage the iPod® cable and the
port. Make sure that the iPod® cable is
connected correctly into the USB port.
(Some iPod® cables come with a
mark as a guide. Make sure that
the mark is facing the correct direction
before inserting the iPod® cable.)
• Do not locate objects near the iPod®
cable to prevent the objects from lean-
ing on the iPod® cable and the port.
Pressure from the objects may dam-
age the iPod® cable and the port.

WARNING
• Use a phone after stopping your ve-
hicle in a safe location. If you have to
use a phone while driving, exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
• If you are unable to devote full atten-
tion to vehicle operation while talking
on the phone, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use
a phone after the READY to drive indica-
tor light is on.
Your NISSAN is equipped with the Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have a com-
patible 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 hands-free telephone call with
your cellular phone in the vehicle.
Once your cellular phone is connected to the
in-vehicle phone module, no other phone con-
necting procedure is required. Your phone isautomatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module when the power switch is placed
in the ON position with the previously connected
cellular phone turned on and carried in the ve-
hicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
connections to other Bluetooth® devices. If
your phone does not connect automatically
to the system, consult the phone’s Owner’s
Manual for details on device operation.

You can connect up to 5 different Bluetooth®
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
• Set up the wireless connection between a com-
patible cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module before using the hands-free phone sys-
tem.
• Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular phones may
not be recognized or work properly. Please visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list and connecting instructions.
• You will not be able to use a hands-free phone
under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular service
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 mountainous 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 during 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 disrup-
tion.
• While a cellular phone is connected through the
Bluetooth® wireless connection, the battery
power of the cellular phone may discharge
quicker than usual. The Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System cannot charge cellular
phones.
• 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.
• 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 charges, cellular phone
antenna and body, etc.REGULATORY INFORMATION
