- 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 find yourself 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 before doing so.

To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use a phone after starting the engine.

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 in your vehicle.

Once your cellular phone is connected to the invehicle 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 connect up to 5 different Bluetooth® cellular phones in 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 Bluetooth® 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 telephone service area.

— Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; 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 invehicle 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 Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System seems to be malfunctioning, see “Troubleshooting guide” later 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 battery charging, cellular phone antenna, etc.

- This wireless hands free car kit is based on Bluetooth® technology,

Using the system

The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows hands-free operation of the Bluetooth® Hands- Free Phone System.

If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may not be available so full attention may be given to vehicle operation.

Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized, which takes a few seconds. If the button is pushed before the initialization completes, the system will accept any command.

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 as possible. 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 speaking a command. Otherwise, the command will not be received properly.

- Start speaking a command within 5 seconds after the tone sounds.

- Speak in a natural voice without pausing between words.

Giving voice command

To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push and release the button located on the steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a command.

The command given is picked up by the microphone, and voice feedback is given when the command is accepted.

- If you need to hear the available commands for the current menu again, say “Help” and the system will repeat them.

- If a command is not recognized, the system announces, “Command not recognized.

Please say again.” Repeat the command in a clear voice.

- If you want to go back to the previous command, you can say “Go back” or “Correction” anytime the system is waiting for a response.

- You can cancel a command when the system is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces “Cancel” and ends the VR session. You can also push and hold the button for 5 seconds on the steering wheel at any time to cancel the VR session. Whenever the VR session is cancelled, a double beep is played to indicate you have exited the system.

- If you want to adjust the volume of the voice feedback, push the volume control switch (+ or −) on the steering wheel while being provided with feedback. You can also use the radio volume control knob.

- In most cases you can interrupt the voice feedback to speak the next command by pushing the button on the steering wheel.

- To use the system faster, you may speak the second level commands with the main menu command on the main menu. For example, push the button and after the tone say, “Call Redial.” Note: The combined command of Call and (a Name) cannot be used.

How to say numbers

NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain way to speak numbers in voice commands.

Refer to the rules and examples below.

- Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.

Example: 1-800-662-6200 — “One eight oh oh six six two six two oh oh”, or — “One eight zero zero six six two six two oh oh” - Words can be used for the first 4 digits places only.

Example: 1-800-662-6200 — “One eight hundred six six two six two oh oh”, — NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty two hundred, and — NOT “One eight oh oh six six two sixty two hundred.

- Numbers can be spoken in small groups.

The system will prompt you to continuing entering digits, if desired.

Example: 1-800-662-6200 — “One eight zero zero” The system repeats the numbers and prompts you to enter more.

— “six six two” The system repeats the numbers and prompts you to enter more.

— “six two zero zero” - You can say “Star” for “*” and “Pound” for “#” at any time in any position of the phone number. (Available only when using the “Special Dialing” command.) Example: 1-555-1212 123 — “One five five five one two one two star one two three” - Say “pound” for “#”. Say “star” for “*” (available when using the “Special Dialing” command and the “Send” command during a call).

- Say “plus” for “+” (available only when using the “Special Dialing” command).

- Say “pause” for a 2 second pause (available only when storing a phone book number).

See “Making a call by entering a phone number” later in this section and “List of voice commands” later in this section for more information.

NOTE:
For best results, say phone numbers as single digits.

The voice command “Help” is available at any time. Please say the “Help” command to get information about how to use the system.

INFO

- If you are controlling the telephone system by voice command for the first time or do not know the appropriate voice command, speak “Help”. The system announces the available commands.

- When you speak numbers, you can speak both “zero” or “oh” for “0”.
