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 are 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.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery,
use a phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Bluetooth
Š
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have 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 hands-free telephone
call with your cellular phone in the vehicle.
Once your cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, no other phone connect-
ing procedure is required. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module when the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position with the
previously connected cellular phone turned on
and carried in the vehicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
connections to other Bluetooth
Šdevices. If
your phone does not connect automatic
ally to the system, consult the phone’s
Owner’ s Manual for details on device
operation.
You can connect up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
. Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the hands-free
phone system. .
Some Bluetooth
Šenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized or work properly. For
information about Bluetooth
Šdevices that
are available for use with this system, it is
recommended that you contact a NISSAN
dealer.
. 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.
. 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 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-
