limiting the use of video screens
while driving. Use this system only
where it is legal to do so.
. Extreme temperature conditions [be-
low í48F( í208C) and above 1588F
(708C)] could affect the performance
of the system.
. The display screen may break if it is
hit with a hard or sharp object. If the
display screen breaks, do not touch

The AUX input jack is located in the media
pocket. Connect an audio player that
accepts a 1/4 in (3.5 mm) TRS connector
(such as an MP3 player etc.) to play music.
*2USB port 1, USB port 2:
USB port 1 is located in the media pocket.
USB port 2 is located at the rear of the
center console box.
Connect a compatible device to play media
from an iPod

device.
To use NissanConnect
SMApps with
iPhone Š, connect the device to the USB
port via USB cable.
Refer to your AUX and USB device manufac- turer’s owner information regarding the proper
use and care of the device.
INFO:
. Even when iPod
Šor iPhone Šare connected
to both of the USB ports, the system
recognizes only one of the connected iPod
Š
or iPhone Šat a time.
. One USB memory device and one iPod
Šcan
be operated by the voice recognition system.
When two USB memory devices are con-
nected, only one of the devices can be
operated by the voice recognition system.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine is running. Oper-
ating the audio system for extended
periods of time with the engine
turned off can discharge the vehicle
battery.
. Do not allow the system to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled
liquids may cause the system to
malfunction.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the “ACC” or “ON”
position before turning on the radio. If you listen
to the radio with the engine not running, the
ignition switch should be placed in the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio reception.
These circuits are designed to extend reception
range, and to enhance the quality of that
reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a given
reception area, and do not indicate any malfunc-
tion in your radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other
vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
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.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to 25 to
30 miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
station) 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 miles (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 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
