coins into the SD card slot. Doing so
may result in a malfunction of the
device.
. Do not apply too much pressure
when inserting the SD card into the
slot. Doing so may result in a mal-
function of the device.
. The SD card may be hot when it is
removed from the device. This does
not indicate a malfunction.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
The display is a liquid crystal display and should
be handled with care.
WARNING
Never disassemble the display. Some
parts utilize extremely high voltage.
Touching them may result in serious
personal injury.
Characteristics of liquid crystal display
. If the temperature inside the vehicle is
especially low, the display will stay relatively
dim or the movement of the images may be
slow. These conditions are normal. The
display will function normally when the
interior of the vehicle has warmed up.
. Some pixels in the display are darker or
brighter than others. This condition is an
inherent characteristic of liquid crystal dis-
plays, and it is not a malfunction. .
A remnant of the previous display image may
remain on the screen. This screen burn is
inherent in displays, and it is not a malfunc-
tion.
. The screen may become distorted by strong
magnetic fields.
Maintenance of display
CAUTION
.To clean the display screen, use a dry,
soft cloth. If additional cleaning is
necessary, use a small amount of
neutral detergent with a soft cloth.
. Clean the display with the ignition
switch in the OFF position. If the
display is cleaned while the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position,
unintentional operation may occur.
. To clean the display, never use a
rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner
or any kind of solvent or paper towel
with a chemical cleaning agent. They
will scratch or deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid such as
water or car fragrance on the display.

Hands-Free Phone System and BluetoothŠ
audio device. If you are an owner of a compatible
BluetoothŠenabled cellular phone or BluetoothŠ
audio device, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone and
the in-vehicle phone module or Bluetooth
Šaudio
and in-vehicle audio module. With BluetoothŠ
wireless technology, you can make or receive a
telephone call with your cellular phone in your
pocket and listen to Bluetooth
Šaudio.

Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
INFO:
. Up to 5 Bluetooth
Šdevices can be con-
nected. If 5 devices are already connected,
one of the devices must first be deleted
before another device can be connected.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine or the hybrid
system is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods
of time with the engine or the hybrid
system 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 or the hybrid system
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

4. Hands-Free Phone
BLUETOOTHŠHANDS-FREE
PHONE SYSTEM
WARNING
. Use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you have
to use a phone while driving, exercise
extreme caution at all times so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
. If you find yourself unable to devote
full attention to vehicle operation
while talking on the phone, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use
a phone only after starting the engine or
the hybrid system.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth
ŠHands-
Free Phone System. If you are an owner of a
compatible Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phone,
you can set up the wireless connection between
your cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module. With Bluetooth
Šwireless technology,
you can make or receive a telephone call with
your cellular phone in your pocket.
Once a cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, the procedure for con-
necting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone is automatically
selected with the in-vehicle phone module when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position
with the selected cellular phone turned on and
carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
devices in the in-vehicle phone module. How-
ever, you can talk on only one cellular phone at a
time.
The Voice Recognition system supports phone
commands, so dialing a phone number using
your voice is possible.
“7. Voice recognition”
Before using the BluetoothŠHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
Š
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz) . Using the BluetoothŠand the
wireless LAN functions at the same time may
slow down or disconnect the communication
and cause undesired noise. It is recom-
mended that you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth
Šfunctions.
. Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Bluetooth
Š
Hands-Free Phone System.
. For U.S. and Canada:
Some Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Visit the website below for a
recommended phone list.
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/
. For Mexico:
Some Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Consult a NISSAN dealer for
details regarding phone compatibility.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the telephone service area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, behind a tall building or in a
mountainous area.
