Nissan Versa (N17): Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System without Navigation System (Type B) (if so equipped)

WARNING

• 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 are 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.

CAUTION

To avoid discharging 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 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 previously connected cellular phone turned on and carried in the vehicle.

NOTE:

Some devices require the user to accept connections to other Bluetooth devices. If your phone does not connect automatic ally 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 recommended 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 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 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.

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.

For additional information, you can visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth or www.nissan.ca/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.

Using the system

The 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 pressed before the initialization completes, the system will announce "Hands-free phone system not ready" 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. 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 commands

To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press 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 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 "Correction" any time 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 Voice Recognition session. You can also press and hold the button on the steering wheel for 5 seconds at any time to end the Voice Recognition session. Whenever the Voice Recognition session is canceled, 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 switches (+ or -) on the steering wheel while being provided with feedback. You can also use the radio volume control knob.

Voice Prompt Interrupt

In most cases you can interrupt the voice feedback to speak the next command by pressing the   button on the steering wheel. After interrupting the system, wait for a beep before speaking your command.

One Shot Call

To use the system faster, you may speak the second level commands with the main menu command on the main menu. For example, press the button and after the tone say, "Call Redial".
