ready when the system completes the dialing attempts. You can press the button again if you still need to contact the Communicator Response Center. 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.

I Audio, such as the radio, cassette or com- pact disc, is unavailable (Auto mute) as long as Nissan Communicator is connected to the Communicator Response Center, unless the vehicle is being monitored in case of theft or in duress situations.

I When stolen vehicle tracking and alarm notification are used with the optional hand- set connected, some indications are, at times, sent to the handset.

I When the audio mode is switched to the data mode on completion of the call a beeping or hissing noise may be heard. The noise occurs because the call is being made through the modem. What you hear is the modem switching between voice and data modes. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

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.

You can receive phone calls and also adjust the volume during the conversation. To re- ceive a phone call, press the send/end switch. 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.

KEYS

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

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER

The air conditioning system in your NISSAN vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone layer.

However, special charging equipment and lu- bricant are required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrig- erants or lubricants will cause severe damage to your air conditioning system. See “Capaci- ties and recommended fuel/lubricants” in the “10. Technical and consumer information” sec- tion for air conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recommendation. Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service your environmentally friendly air conditioning system.

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 equip- ment.

AUDIO SYSTEM

Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and press the power on switch to turn on the radio. 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 influences. 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 radio system is equipped with state-of- the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio reception. These circuits are designed to ex- tend reception range, and to enhance the quality of that reception. However there are some general characteris- tics of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio reception quality in a moving ve- hicle, 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 radio system. Remember that a moving vehicle is not the ideal place to listen to a radio. Because of the 4-12 Heater, air conditioner and audio systems

movement, reception conditions will constantly change. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and interference from other vehicles can work against ideal reception. Described below are some of the factors that can affect your radio reception.

SAA0306

FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. External influences may some- times 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 re- ceiver. 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

Z 01.1.22/R50-D/V5 X

from a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade and/or drift.

power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.

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 counterclockwise to reduce treble response. Multipath reception: Because of the reflective characteristics of FM signals, direct and re- flected 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. 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 for sev- eral seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in areas where no obstacles exist. Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

Precaution on cassette player operation: I To maintain good quality sound, NISSAN recommends using cassette tapes of 60
minutes or shorter in length.

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

I Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of deformed cassettes may cause the cassette to jam in the player.

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

I If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and re- wind the tape firmly around the hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jamming and waver- ing sound quality.

I Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may collect 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.
