SAFE OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS

I The Nissan Communicator system should not be used while driving in order that full attention may be given to driving.

I The cellular phone handset should not be used while driving in order that full attention may be given to driving. I If you must make a call while your vehicle is in motion, the hands-free cellular phone operational mode is highly recommended. Exercise ex- treme caution at all times in order that full attention may be given to driving. I 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.

is important

It that you read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly to ensure the safe opera- tion of your Nissan Communicator system.

I The safest calls are those made when the

vehicle is stopped.

I Hands-free cellular phone operation is highly recommended and is easily main- tained by keeping the cellular telephone handset in the cradle. QUICK SUMMARY

“Mayday” emergency and

“In- formation” dialing can take place when the ignition key is in the ON position or about 3
minutes after it is turned OFF.

I There will be a delay of at least 25 seconds “Mayday” emer- from the time the gency or “Information” button is pressed until a Communicator Response Center operator answers the call. During the delay, Nissan Communicator is making the connection and transmitting vehicle data to the Communicator Response Cen- ter. If the cellular lines or landlines are busy, the delay may be longer.

I Voice communication with the Communica- tor Response Center is all done through a hands-free microphone. Audio is heard through the right front door speaker. To adjust the speaker volume, push the vol- ume up/down switch in the steering switch for the cellular phone.

I All

indicators show the condition of

the system (transmitting, redialing, etc.). For details see “Nissan Communicator indicator de- scription” later in this section.

I All indicators

il- luminate for up to 30 seconds when the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON and the Nissan Communicator system per- forms a self check. However, no indicators will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned from ON to OFF to ON in less than 3
minutes because the system remains avail- able.

I If

the

“Mayday” emergency and “Information” button indicators do not turn off after the ignition switch is turned ON, or if both button indicators illuminate any time while the ignition switch is ON except immediately after the ignition switch is turned ON, the system is not working correctly. You will need to take your car to your NISSAN dealer. The Nissan Commu- nicator system may still operate in some cases.

I When the Nissan Communicator contacts the Communicator Response Center, ve- hicle data, that includes the position of your car, is sent to the Response Center.

I You can choose an optional handset so the Nissan Communicator system can be used as a normal cellular phone.

FUNCTIONS One touch “Mayday” emergency dialing If an emergency occurs, press the “Mayday” emergency button. The indicator in the button blinks and then stays on, indicating the Communicator Response Center is being contacted. When Nissan Communicator con- nects with the Communicator Response Cen- ter, vehicle information, including the type of call (Mayday) and vehicle position, is transmit- ted to the Communicator Response Center. Voice communication using the Nissan Com- municator system is not possible when data is being transmitted. After the data is transmitted, the Communicator Response Center operator will come on-line to speak with you. The Re- sponse Center operator will contact emer- gency crews and send them to your location, if you request them. If you do not answer the operator, or if the operator hears something that sounds like an emergency, emergency crews will be informed. If no emergency exists, the Response Center operator will ask you to give the prearranged password. A false pass- word will be interpreted as a duress situation.

This will prompt the operator to dispatch emer- gency assistance. The operator will also ap- pear to end the call, but will covertly monitor your vehicle until assistance arrives. One touch “Information” dialing If the vehicle becomes disabled because of engine or other trouble, press the “Infor- mation” button for roadside service. The indi- cator in the button blinks and then stays on, indicating the Communicator Response Cen- ter is being contacted. When Nissan Commu- nicator connects with the Communicator Re- sponse Center, vehicle information, including the type of call (Information) and vehicle posi- tion, is transmitted to the Response Center. Voice communication using the system is not possible when data is being transmitted. After the data is transmitted, the Communicator Response Center operator will come on-line to speak with you. This button may also be used to obtain more information about your Nissan Communicator system. You may also use the “Information” button to request services that may be added in the future.

Response Center will instruct you how to open the door. Stolen vehicle tracking In some cases of theft, your car can be tracked by the Communicator Response Center. This function allows the verified owner of the car to contact the Communicator Response Center to attempt to locate the stolen car. If you have not done so, the Communicator Response Center operator will help you file a stolen vehicle report with the appropriate police de- partment. A stolen vehicle report is often re- quired before the authorities will dispatch po- lice officers to the vehicle location. Call the Communicator Response Center by tele- phone. Refer to your Nissan Communicator Card for the Communicator Response Center telephone number. The Nissan Consumer Af- fairs department can also provide the tele- phone number the Communicator Re- sponse Center. Keep this number where it will be available when your vehicle is stolen. In order to find the location of your stolen car, the ignition switch must be in the ON position.

Nissan Communicator au- tomatically redials if communication between you and the Communicator Response Center is lost for some reason. The only way for a transmission to be officially terminated is for the Communicator Response Center to send an end transmission signal, which turns off the indicator in the button. All infor- mation sent to the Communicator Response Center is recorded. If cellular signal strength is low, it is possible that Nissan Communicator will not be able to terminate the transmission. You may have to repress the button if you still need to contact the Communicator Response Center. there is a natural disaster, such as an If earthquake, all of the Communicator Re- sponse Center phone lines may become busy. The Nissan Communicator system in your vehicle will not attempt to recontact the Com- municator Response Center. Priority Communicator Response Center dialing If you are using the optional cellular phone and the supplemental air bag inflates or the “Information” but-

“Mayday” or the

ton is pressed, your phone transmission will be cut so the Nissan Communicator system can contact the Communicator Response Center. Roaming If you have chosen a local cellular provider for your optional handset and the company that you have contracted with for your cellular phone does not have a roaming agreement for the area where your vehicle is within the 48
contiguous states, it may not be possible to use the lines of a different cellular phone company. Therefore, it is possible that Nissan Communicator will not be able to contact the Communicator Response Center. Data transmission During transmission to the Communicator Re- sponse Center, data will be collected on the type of call, vehicle location, direction and speed at the time of activation. Global Positioning System functions The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to obtain the vehicle location. GPS satellites transmit radio waves and orbit around the earth at an altitude of approximately 13,000
miles (21,000 km). The GPS receiver calcu- lates the three-dimensional position (latitude, longitude, and altitude from sea level) of the

vehicle by using the time differences of radio waves arriving from several GPS satellites. You cannot receive any Global Positioning System (GPS) data in areas where radio re- ception conditions are poor. In such cases, the latest GPS data received will be transmitted to the Communicator Response Center. Then, the Communicator Response Center will de- termine the reliability of the GPS data. If the quality of the data is too poor or if the data cannot be located, the Communicator Re- sponse Center operator will ask you for your vehicle’s position. Factors such as topogra- phy, electronic interference or weather condi- tions may affect GPS data and transmission. I Since radio waves from the GPS satellites may be obstructed when driving through tunnels, near tall buildings near densely planted trees, underneath double-deck ex- pressways, or in-building parking lots, the signals may not be received. That is, the environment may prevent detection of ve- hicle position or cause errors.

I The US Department of Defense controls the GPS satellite signals. Therefore, signal transmission accuracy may drop or be sus- pended.

Contract with Communicator Response Center Since your phone number and cellular phone programming are not known before your car is purchased, your telephone must be properly programmed to be able to contact the Com- municator Response Center from your car. You may want to ask your NISSAN dealer to help you setup the Nissan Communicator sys- tem. When you move or change your cellular phone number, please contact your NISSAN dealer or the Communicator Response Center to have the contents of the service contract changed. This is necessary for Nissan Com- municator to function properly. When selling your car or ending your service contract with the Communicator Response Center, contact the Response Center. Activation You must complete the activation process as soon as possible after service contract is com- pleted. Simply press either the “Mayday” emergency or “Information” button to be- gin the activation process. A Communicator Response Center operator will verify the infor- mation from the application that you filled out at your NISSAN dealer. The operator also

verifies that the GPS system functions cor- rectly and provides a brief orientation to the Nissan Communicator system. Finally, the op- erator will ask if you would like to establish a password in the system. The Nissan Commu- nicator system remains in a demonstration mode until the setup procedures are com- pleted. If you perform any operation, the Com- municator Response Center will recognize this operation as a demonstration and will not provide service. A service contract needs to be completed between you and the Communica- tor Response Center and an active account must be maintained for you to receive service from the Response Center. Miscellaneous I Turning the ignition OFF during a call to the Communicator Response Center will not interrupt your conversation unless there is a problem with the battery. To protect the battery, you may want to use the system while the engine is running (except when running the engine may be dangerous, such as after an accident or in an enclosed space like a garage).

I If you start the engine during a call, your conversation may be interrupted. When this happens the system may try to resume

I Avoid placing objects over the GPS an- tenna installed inside the vehicle and do not place portable telephones and hand held wireless units near the Nissan Communica- tor antennas. Also, keep the front and/or rear windshield free of snow and ice. Since the strength of radio waves from the GPS satellites is relatively small, signal quality may drop, resulting in poor or no signal reception.

active account with the cellular provider and Communicator Response Center. If either ac- count is inactive, Nissan Communicator will not operate. SYSTEM LIMITATIONS The Nissan Communicator system relies on the cellular network. The Nissan Communica- tor system is subject to the same limitations that affect cellular phone operation.

if

Since Nissan Communicator is powered by the vehicle’s battery, the battery is removed, damaged or discharged, the system will not work. Service area Service is provided in the 48 contiguous states. Service is not available in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or Mexico. The Communi- cator Response Center will not be able to locate your car outside of the continental United States. Inoperative if cellular system is busy The number of available cellular lines is limited in a particular area and varies according to call volume. Once the call volume reaches the maximum, any additional calls cannot be pro- cessed. When Nissan Communicator encoun-

ters such a situation, the system attempts to dial for up to two hours. This time varies greatly depending on the cellular network and cellular signal strength. The system resets to ready when the system completes the dialing attempts. You can press the button again if you still need to contact the Communicator Response Center. After several failed at- tempts the system will quit dialing and return to normal mode. Cellular PIN features Some local cellular providers offer custom phone numbers that are assigned a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The cellular phone user is required to enter the PIN any time a phone call is made. The Nissan Com- municator system is not compatible with the PIN feature. A PIN requirement on your cellu- lar phone will cause the Nissan Communicator system to be inoperative. When completing your service contract with your cellular pro- vider, ask your carrier to assign you a number that does not require a PIN. Special cellular features Some cellular providers offer special features such as call waiting, voice mail, call forward- ing, etc. These features can interfere with Nissan Communicator system operation.

Z 01.1.22/R50-D/V5 X

Cellular airwave interference At times you may hear someone other than the Communicator Response Center operator talking. This is caused by cellular airwave interference and is not caused by an Nissan Communicator system malfunction. Generally, if you are driving, the interference will go away. If cellular airwave interference occurs when the Nissan Communicator system is transmit- ting data to the Communicator Response Cen- ter, the Nissan Communicator system auto- matically switches to voice communications. There may be cases where cellular airwave interference may prevent the Nissan Commu- nicator System from completing the connec- tion to the Communicator Response Center. Security The Nissan Communicator system uses the cellular phone network. Conversations and data transmissions are not secure. Third par- ties may be able to listen to your conversation. Aftermarket accessories When installing a CB radio or car phone in your NISSAN, be sure to observe the following cautions. Otherwise, the new equipment may adversely affect the Multiport Fuel Injection system, Nissan Communicator system, or other electronic parts.

Potentially inoperative if the vehicle is in an accident If you are involved in an accident, Nissan Communicator may also be damaged. Since Nissan Communicator is powered from the vehicle, damaged Nissan Communicator re- lated components such as the battery will disable the system. Inoperative if cellular phone is inactive or inoperative Nissan Communicator will be inoperative if you do not have an active cellular account with a cellular provider. Since Nissan Communicator relies on the cellular network, the system will not work if the cellular service or your cellular phone is inactive. When the Nissan Communicator system is outside of cellular service, the indicator will illuminate. If you try to activate Nissan Communicator, the request will be canceled. Cellular phone transmission may become tem- porarily disabled, or interrupted by environ- mental factors such as tunnels, bridges, or tall buildings. When Nissan Communicator en- counters such a situation, the system attempts to dial for up to two hours. This time varies greatly depending on the cellular network and cellular signal strength. The system resets to

ready when the system completes the dialing attempts. You can press the button again if you still need to contact the Communicator Response Center. After several failed at- tempts the system will quit dialing and return to normal mode. Phone number changes The Nissan Communicator system is only ca- pable of accepting up to 15 phone number changes. You may need to purchase Nissan Communicator system components if the phone number changes more than 15 times.

I Keep antennas as far away as pos- sible from electronic control units (in- cluding radio and Nissan Communi- cator system components).

I Keep antenna wire more than 8 in (20
cm) away from the Multiport Fuel In- jection and Nissan Communicator harnesses. Do not route antenna wires next to any other harness.

I If the vehicle’s theft warning system was activated for more than seven seconds, the Nissan Communicator system contacts the Communicator Response Center. The Communicator Response Center operator will come online and request the password from the occupant. If no password or an incorrect password is provided, the opera- tor will contact the police and provide them with the latest/current vehicle location.

Choose a password that will not be easy for someone else to figure out. All other aspects of your service will be iden- tical regardless of your password decision.

The audio system automatically turns off (auto mute) during the call. Press the send/end switch to end the call. The audio system will automatically turn on in about four seconds.

FALSE ACTIVATIONS AND PASSWORD SELECTIONS When you complete the contract with the Com- municator Response Center, you will be given the option of establishing a user password. You are strongly encouraged to establish a password. The password is used to verify your identity in the following situations: I You will be asked to provide a password if your make a request to unlock the doors by remote operation.

I When the

“Mayday” emergency but- ton has been pressed in any nonemer- gency situation. The Communicator Re- sponse Center operator will come online and ask for your password to verify your identity. If an incorrect password is pro- vided, the Communicator Response Center operator will assume you are under duress. The operator will covertly monitor what is happening inside the vehicle and contact the police. The operator will provide the police with the latest/current vehicle loca- tion. You do not need to have a password if you need emergency services. If you choose not to establish a password, simply indicate to the operator that the assistance request was initiated in error and the call will be terminated.

DOORS

A key number is only necessary when you have lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If you still have a key, this key can be duplicated by your NISSAN dealer. Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System keys: The key number is necessary when you need extra Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobil- iser System keys can be used with one ve- hicle. New keys must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System compo- nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve- hicle Immobiliser System keys that you have to your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is because the registration process will erase all memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System components.

I Always have the doors locked while driving. Along with the use of seat belts, this provides greater safety in the event of an accident by helping to prevent persons from being thrown from the vehicle. This also helps keep children and others from unintention- ally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders.

I Before opening any door, always look

for and avoid oncoming traffic.

I Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow- ingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

You can only drive your vehicle using the master keys which are registered to the Nissan Vehicle Immobiliser System components in your vehicle. These keys have a transponder chip in the key head. The keys can be used for the door, back door or glove box locks. Never leave these keys in the vehicle. Record the key number on the key number plate supplied with your keys and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. NISSAN does not record any key number so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate. 3-2 Pre-driving checks and adjustments
