HANDS-FREE TEXT MESSAGING ASSISTANT* (if so equipped)
This system allows for sending and receiving
text messages through the vehicle’s interface.

Using predefined or custom messages, send
a text to an entry stored in your Bluetooth®
Hands-free Phone System.

Once enabled, the text message, sender and
delivery time are shown on the control panel
display when the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

Text messages have the option of being read aloud at all vehicle speeds.

Many cellular phones may require special permission to enable text messaging.

phones, you need to enable “Notifications” in the cellular phone’s Bluetooth®
menu for text messages to appear on the touch-screen display. For more
information and instructions, refer to your cellular phone’s Owner’s Manual.

Text message integration requires that the cellular phone support Message
Access Profile (MAP) for both receiving and sending text messages. Some
cellular phones may not support all text messaging features. Please see
www.NissanUSA.com/bluetooth for compatibility information as well
as your device’s Owner’s Manual.
