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 Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position and press the ON•OFF/VOLUME control knob to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, the key should be turned to the ACC position.

Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, build- ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ- ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality normally are caused by these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the ve- hicle may influence radio reception quality. Radio reception Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra- dio reception. These circuits are designed to extend reception range, and to enhance the qual- ity of that reception.

However there are some general characteristics 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 char- acteristics are completely normal in a given re- ception area, and do not indicate any malfunction in your NISSAN radio system.

Reception conditions will constantly change be- cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and interference from other ve- hicles can work against ideal reception. De- scribed below are some of the factors that can affect your radio reception. FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 (cid:150) 30
miles (40 (cid:150) 48 km), with monaural (single chan- nel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. External influences may sometimes interfere with FM station reception even if the FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same characteristics as light. For example 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 interference 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.

Z REVIEW COPY—2006 Maxima (max) Owners Manual—USA_English (nna) 06/22/05—tbrooks X

Multipath reception: Because of the reflective characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected signals reach the receiver at the same time. The signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo- mentary 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 sub- ject 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 for several seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in areas where no obstacles exist. Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.

SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so equipped) When the satellite radio is first installed or the battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may not work properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or large building for satellite radio to receive all of the necessary data. No satellite radio reception is available and (cid:147)NO SAT(cid:148) is displayed when the SAT band option is selected unless optional satellite receiver and antenna are installed and an XMT or SIRIUS(cid:153) satellite radio service subscription is active. Sat- ellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam. Satellite radio performance may be affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio signal. If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite antenna.

erly: c Copy control compact discs (CCCD) c Recordable compact discs (CD-R) c Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW) c Do not use the following CDs as they may cause the CD player to malfunc- tion: c 3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter c CDs that are not round c CDs with a paper label c CDs that are warped, scratched, or

have abnormal edges

c Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cassettes in their protective cases and away from direct sunlight, heat, dust, moisture and magnetic sources.

c Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of de- formed cassettes may cause the cas- sette to jam in the player.

c Do not use cassettes with labels which are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player.

c If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and rewind the tape firmly around the hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jamming and wavering sound quality. c Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may col- lect a tape coating residue as the tape is played. This residue accumulation can cause weak or wavering sound, and should be removed periodically with a head cleaning tape. If the resi- due is not removed periodically, the player may need to be disassembled for cleaning.

Compact disc (CD) player c Only use high quality 4.7 inches (12 cm) round discs that have the (cid:147)COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO(cid:148) logo on the disc or packaging.

c During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the hu- midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ventilate the player completely.

c The player may skip while driving on

rough roads.

c The CD player sometimes cannot func- tion when the compartment tempera- ture is extremely high or extremely low. Decrease or increase the temperature before use.

c Do not expose the CD to direct sun-

light.

c CDs that are in poor condition or are dirty, scratched or covered with finger- prints may not work properly.

c A cellular telephone should not be used while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. Some juris- dictions prohibit the use of cellular tele- phones while driving.

c If you must make a call while your ve- hicle is in motion, the hands free cellu- lar phone operational mode (if so equipped) is highly recommended. Ex- ercise extreme caution at all times so full attention may be given to vehicle operation.

c If a conversation in a moving vehicle requires you to take notes, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle before doing so.

CAUTION

c Keep the antenna as far away as pos- control

sible from the electronic modules.

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

c Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio as recommended by the manufacturer. c Connect the ground wire from the CB

radio chassis to the body.

c For details, consult a NISSAN dealer.

You can register up to 5 different BluetoothT cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module. However, you can talk on only one cellular phone at a time. Before using the BluetoothT Hands-Free Phone System, refer to the following notes. c Set up the wireless connection between a cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module before using the hands-free phone system.

c Some BluetoothT enabled cellular phones may not be recognized by the in-vehicle phone module. Please visit www.nissan- usa.com/bluetooth for a recommended phone list.

c You will not be able to use a hands-free

phone under the following conditions: (cid:150) Your vehicle is outside of the cellular ser-

vice area.

(cid:150) Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; such as in a tunnel, in an underground parking ga- rage, near a tall building or in a mountain- ous area.

(cid:150) 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(cid:146)s voice during a call.

Do not place the cellular phone in an area sur- rounded by metal or far away from the in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone quality degrada- tion and wireless connection disruption. While a cellular phone is connected through the BluetoothT wireless connection, the battery power of the cellular phone may discharge quicker than usual. If the hands-free phone system seems to be malfunctioning, please refer to (cid:147)Troubleshooting guide(cid:148) later in this section. You can also visit www.nissan-usa.com/bluetooth trouble- shooting help.

Operating tips To get the best performance out of the NISSAN Voice Recognition system, observe the following: c 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. c Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command. Otherwise, the command will not be received properly.

c Start speaking a command within 5 seconds

after the tone sounds.

c Speak in a natural voice without pausing

between words.

Giving voice commands To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push and release the button located on the steering wheel. The light on the overhead console flashes to signal you have entered a voice recognition (VR) session. After the tone sounds, speak a command.

The command given is picked up by the micro- phone, and voice feedback is given when the command is accepted.

c If you need to hear the available commands for the current menu again, say (cid:147)Help(cid:148) and the system will repeat them.

c If a command is not recognized, the system announces, recognized. Please try again.(cid:148) Repeat the command in a clear voice.

(cid:147)Command not

c If you want to go back to the previous com- mand, you can say (cid:147)Go back(cid:148) or (cid:147)Correc- tion(cid:148) any time the system is waiting for a response.

c You can cancel a command when the sys- tem is waiting for a response by saying, (cid:147)Cancel(cid:148) or (cid:147)Quit.(cid:148) The system announces (cid:147)Cancel(cid:148) and ends the VR session. You can also push the button on the steering wheel at any time. Whenever the VR session is cancelled, a double beep is played to indicate you have exited the system.

c 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.

How to say numbers NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer to the rules and examples below. c Either (cid:147)zero(cid:148) or (cid:147)oh(cid:148) can be used for (cid:147)0(cid:148).

Example: 1-800-662-6200
(cid:150) (cid:147)One eight oh oh six six two six two oh

oh(cid:148), or

(cid:150) (cid:147)One eight zero zero six six two six two oh

oh(cid:148)

c Words can be used for the first 4 digits

places only. Example: 1-800-662-6200
(cid:150) (cid:147)One eight hundred six six two six two oh
