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 connects with the Communicator Response Center, vehicle information, including the type of call (Mayday) and vehicle position, is transmitted to the Communicator Response Center. Voice communication using the Nissan Communicator 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 Response Center operator will contact emergency 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 password will be interpreted as a duress situation. This will prompt the operator to dispatch emergency assistance. The operator will also appear 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 "Information" button for roadside service. The indicator in the button blinks and then stays on, indicating the Communicator Response Center is being contacted.

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 available. ¼ 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 Communicator system may still operate in some cases. ¼ When the Nissan Communicator contacts the Communicator Response Center, vehicle data, that includes the position of your car, is sent to the Response Center.
