Your NISSAN is equipped with the Bluetooth

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 when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with the connected cellular phone turned on and carried in the vehicle.

You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module. However, you can talk on only one cellular phone at a time.

NISSAN Voice Recognition system supports the phone commands, so dialing a phone number using your voice is possible. For more details, see “NISSAN Voice Recognition System” in this section.

Before using the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, refer to the following notes.

● Set up the wireless connection between a cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module before using the hands-free phone system.

● Some Bluetooth enabled cellular phones may not be recognized by the in-vehicle phone module. Please visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for a recommended phone list and connecting.

● 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 disruption.

● While a cellular phone is connected through the Bluetooth wireless connection, the battery power of the cellular phone may discharge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System cannot charge cellular phones.

● If the hands-free phone system seems to be malfunctioning, see “Troubleshooting guide” in this section. You can also visit www.nissanusa.com/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.

● If reception between callers is unclear, adjusting the incoming or outgoing call volume may improve the clarity. See “Call volume” in this section.
