2012 NISSAN Maxima - Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System

Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System

The Bluetooth® Hands-free system enables you to make and receive wireless calls with hands-free convenience. Important details for activating and using this feature are in your Owner's Manual.

It's important to note that NISSAN has a website dedicated to simplifying the Bluetooth® phone setup process. If you go to www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth, you'll find a Compatibility Guide that identifies all brands and models of phones that can be set up to use Bluetooth® wireless technology in your vehicle. When you choose a compatible brand and model, the website leads you to its unique Bluetooth Setup Guide. It tells you how to "prepare your phone," "prepare your vehicle" and "pair your phone." Depending on the Bluetooth® System included in your vehicle, the terminology may either be "pairing" or "connecting." Please see your Owner's Manual for more details on your system. Up to five compatible phones can be added and each can have its own phonebook, created using your Setup Guide's instructions. It will also tell you how to set up voice activated dialing, using your vehicle's Voice Recognition System, in order to create a voice model of your own voice for accurate command recognition.

These controls allow you to operate the Bluetooth® system from your steering wheel. The TALK/ PHONE SEND and PHONE buttons can be used to access various phone menu options. With these buttons you can perform multiple functions, from accepting or rejecting incoming phone calls, to entering voice commands during a call.

If your vehicle is equipped with a Navigation System, your Bluetooth® System is capable of streaming audio from Bluetooth® compatible devices. A wireless connection can be set up between the audio device and the in-vehicle audio system so that files on the device can be played through the audio system. Once the audio device is paired to the audio system, no additional Bluetooth® connecting procedure is required. For the connecting procedure of the audio device, see the Bluetooth® audio instructions in your Owner's Manual. When the connecting is completed, the screen will return to the Bluetooth® setup display.

The audio device will automatically connect with the in-vehicle audio system when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with the registered audio device turned ON and carried in the vehicle. To play compatible files on the device, press the DISC/AUXILIARY button, on the audio system repeatedly, until the display changes to the Bluetooth® audio mode.

Some Bluetooth® audio devices may not be recognized by the in-vehicle audio system. Contact a NISSAN dealer for a list of compatible devices.

Here are some helpful tips to get the most out of your Bluetooth® system.

[] Download and follow your phone model's online User's Setup Guide to initiate the system's convenient features, step by step.
[] When using the Bluetooth® system, keep the interior of your vehicle as quiet as possible.
[] Wait until the system tone sounds before speaking a command.
[] Start speaking within five seconds after the tone.
[] Speak in a natural voice without pausing between words.
