still be transmitted if vehicle telematics features
are accessed either in the vehicle or remotely.
Your agreement to the transmission and use of
data by NISSAN can be provided in various
ways. The vehicle is equipped with a “pop up”
screen on the vehicle navigation system that will
ask for your consent to this data transfer. A
version of the following message will appear:
“Pursuant to subscription agreement, your vehi-
cle wirelessly transmits recorded vehicle data to
NISSAN for various purposes, including Nissan-
Connect
SMEV, product evaluation, research and
development. By touching [OK], you consent to
the transmission and use of your vehicle data.
See Owner’s Manual or NissanConnect
SM
Website for terms and details.” If you touch
[OK], your vehicle will transmit data as designed
in connection with the vehicle telematics system.
If you touch [Decline] your vehicle will not
transmit data. However, the telematics features
referenced above, and perhaps others, will not
be available to you. The vehicle’s static naviga-
tion system will remain operational, and you will
be able to access your radio and climate
controls.
Telematics features are dependent on cellular
data transmission. Some areas may have limited
or no cellular connectivity, resulting in a loss or
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,
underground parking, mountainous areas, etc.
Even if the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle
data communication module indicates good
reception, connectivity may be disrupted. This
does not indicate a malfunction. Operate the
system again after a few minutes to restore
connectivity. NissanConnect
SMEV 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 incomplete or
inaccurate data. NissanConnect
SMEV commu-
nications may be received at a verified e-mail
address or by SMS/text messaging-enabled
mobile 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. NissanConnect
SMEV subscription will
automatically terminate at the end of the initial free term if you do not wish to renew your
subscription agreement at the prices then in
effect.
