.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 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.
.Immediately after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, it may be
impossible to receive a call for a short
period of time.
.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 dis-
ruption.
.While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual. The Blue-tooth
ŠHands-Free Phone System cannot
charge cellular phones.
.If the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, visit www.
nissanusa.com/bluetooth or www.nissan.
ca/bluetooth for troubleshooting 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.
.The signal strength display on the monitor
will not coincide with the signal strength
display of some cellular phones.

5-12Starting and driving
passenger car. The vehicle is not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger
cars. Failure to operate this vehicle
correctly could result in loss of
control and/or a rollover accident.
.Always use tires of the same type,
size, brand, construction (bias, bias-
belted or radial) , and tread pattern
on all four wheels. Install traction
devices on the front wheels when
driving on slippery roads and drive
carefully.
.Be sure to check the brakes imme-
diately after driving in mud or water.
See“Brake system”(P.5-102) for wet
brakes.
.Avoid parking your vehicle on steep
hills. If you get out of the vehicle
and it rolls forward, backward or
sideways, you could be injured.
.Whenever you drive off-road
through sand, mud or water as deep
as the wheel hub, more frequent
maintenance may be required. See
the maintenance schedule shown in
the“9. Maintenance and schedules”
section..Spinning the front wheels on slip-
pery surfaces may cause the AWD
warning message to display and the
AWD system to automatically switch
from the AWD mode to the 2WD
mode. This could reduce traction.
(AWD models)WARNING
Never remove the key or place the
ignition switch in the LOCK position
while driving. The steering wheel will
lock and could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. This could result
in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
