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. External
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, ex-
hibiting many of the same characteristics 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 several
seconds 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.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.

ANTENNA
Removing antenna
The antenna cannot be shortened, but can be
removed. When you need to remove the antenna,
turn the antenna rod counterclockwise
B.
To install the antenna rod, turn the antenna rod
clockwise
Aand hand tighten.
CAUTION
• To avoid damaging or deforming the antenna, be sure to remove the an-
tenna under the following conditions. – The vehicle enters an automatic car
wash.
– The vehicle enters a garage with a low ceiling.
– The vehicle is covered with a car cover.
• Always properly tighten the antenna rod during installation. Otherwise, the
antenna rod may break during vehicle
operation.
CAR PHONE OR CB RADIO
When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone in
your vehicle, be sure to observe the following
precautions; otherwise, the new equipment may
adversely affect the engine control system and
other electronic parts.
WARNING
• A cellular phone should not be used for any purpose while driving so full
attention may be given to vehicle op-
eration. Some jurisdictions prohibit
the use of cellular phones while driv-
ing. • If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode is
highly recommended. 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
• Keep the antenna as far away as pos- sible from the electronic control mod-
ules.
• Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in (20 cm) away from the electronic con-
trol system harnesses. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.
• Adjust the antenna standing-wave ra- tio as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
• Connect the ground wire from the CB radio chassis to the body.
• For details, consult a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

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
system.
• 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
disruption.
• 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
