Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

• When the climate system is in automatic

operation and the engine coolant tem-
perature and outside air temperature are
low, the air flow outlet may default to
defroster mode for a maximum of 2 min-
utes 30 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion. After the engine coolant tempera-
ture warms up, the air flow outlet will
return to foot mode and operation will
continue normally.

• When the outside and interior cabin tem-

peratures are moderate to high, the in-
take setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode, or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may occur
when the previous climate setting was
turned off. This is not a malfunction. After
the initial warm air is expelled, the intake
will return to automatic control, the air
flow outlet will return to previous settings,
and operation will continue normally. To
exit, press any climate control button.

• Keep the moonroof (if so equipped)

closed while the air conditioner is in
operation.

• If you feel that the air flow mode you have

selected and the outlets the air is coming
out do not match, select the

mode.

• When you change the air flow mode, you

may feel air flow from the foot outlets for
just a moment. This is not a malfunction.

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de-
signed with the environment in mind.

This refrigerant does not harm the
earth's ozone layer.

Special charging equipment and lubricant
is required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. For addi-
tional information, see “Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations”
(P. 10-8).

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioner system.

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper equipment.

RADIO

Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the PUSH

button

to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio
with the engine not running, the ignition
switch should be placed in the ACC
position.

Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes
in reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.

Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.

Radio reception

Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.

However, there are some general charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics

are completely normal in a given reception
area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.

Reception

conditions

will

constantly

change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and inter-
ference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.

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.

FM RADIO RECEPTION

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 –
30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range
than stereo FM. External influences may
sometimes interfere with FM station re-
ception even if the FM station is within 25
mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is
directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals fol-
low a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of
the same characteristics as light. For ex-
ample, they will reflect off objects.

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.

Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position (usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter), static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the treble
control to reduce treble response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.

AM RADIO RECEPTION

AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics,
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur

AUDIO SYSTEM

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

for several seconds during ionospheric tur-
bulence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

MP3 or WMA terms

• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures

Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital au-
dio file format. This format allows for near
“CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the
size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion
of an audio track from CD-ROM can reduce
the file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio
with virtually no perceptible loss in quality.
MP3 compression removes the redundant
and irrelevant parts of a sound signal that
the human ear doesn’t hear.

• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a

compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosoft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression
than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of
more digital audio tracks in the same
amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality.

• Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of

bits per second used by a digital music
file. The size and quality of a compressed
digital audio file is determined by the bit
rate used when encoding the file.

• Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-

quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.

• Multisession — Multisession is one of the

methods for writing data to media. Writ-
ing data once to the media is called a
single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.

• ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the

part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that
contains information about the digital
music file such as song title, artist, encod-
ing bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3
tag information is displayed on the Artist/
song title line on the display.

tion to vehicle operation while talk-
ing on the phone, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop your vehicle.

CAUTION

•

Keep the antenna as far away as pos-
sible from the electronic control
modules.

•

Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harnesses. Do not
route the antenna wire next to any
harness.

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 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® de-
vices. If your phone does not connect au-
tomatically to the system, consult the
phone's owner's manual for details on
device operation.

You can connect up to six 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.

• 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 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.

• 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 connec-
tion, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
The Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem cannot charge cellular phones.

• 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.

• For additional information, refer to the

cellular phone owner's manual regarding
the telephone charges, cellular phone
antenna and body, etc.

Initialization

When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. If the
button is pressed before the initialization
completes, the system will announce
“There is no phone connected” and will not
react to voice commands.

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. Keep all vents pointed away
from the microphone and close the win-
dows to eliminate surrounding noises
(traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from rec-
ognizing 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 after the tone sounds.

• Speak in a natural voice without pausing

between words.

• For calling contacts by name, please say

both the first and last name of the con-
tact for better recognition.

Giving voice commands

To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition,
press the

button located on the steer-

ing wheel for less than 1.5 seconds. 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 a command is not recognized, the sys-

tem announces, “Please say or select a
command from the displayed list.” 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
