Your NISSAN is equipped with the
Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System. If
you have a compatible Bluetooth® enabled
cellular phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone
and the in-vehicle phone module. With
Bluetooth® wireless 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 connecting procedure is required.
Your phone is automatically connected
with the in-vehicle phone module whenthe power switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion with the previously connected cellular
phone turned on and carried in the vehicle.
NOTE:
Some devices require the user to accept
specific connections for certain features
(such as phonebook download). If your
phone does not connect automatically to
the system, consult the phone’s Owner’s
Manual for details on device operation.
You can connect up to five different
Bluetooth® cellular phones to the in-
vehicle phone module. However, you can
talk on only one cellular phone at a time.Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-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® enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized or work properly.
Please visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth
or www.nissan.ca/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list and connecting
instructions.
• You will not be able to use a hands-free phone under the following conditions: – Your vehicle is outside of the cellularservice area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground park-
ing 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.

Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the
NISSAN Voice Recognition system, observe
the following:
• Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet aspossible. Point all vents away from the
microphone area and close the windows
to eliminate surrounding noises (traffic
noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may
prevent the system from recognizing
voice commands correctly.
• Wait until the tone sounds before speak- ing a command. Otherwise, the com-
mand will not be received properly.
• Start speaking a command within 5 sec- onds af ter the tone sounds.
• Speak in a natural voice without pausing between words.

mands for the current menu again, say
“Help” and the system will repeat them.
• If a command is not recognized, the sys- tem announces, “Command not recog-
nized. Please try again.” Make sure the
command is said exactly as prompted by
the system and repeat the command in a
clear voice.
• If you want to go back to the previous command, you can say “Go back” or “Cor-
rection” any time the system is waiting for
a response.

“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” or “Quit” and ends the Voice Rec-
ognition session. You can also press and
