Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Owner's Manual: Siri Eyes Free

Apple Siri Eyes Free personal assistant can be accessed directly from the Nissan Sentra, allowing drivers to use Siri with reduced distraction. Siri Eyes Free operates in a dedicated voice-only mode, enabling hands-free interaction while keeping your attention on the road. After pairing a compatible Apple device with the Nissan Sentra via Bluetooth, Siri Eyes Free can be activated by pressing the Nissan Sentra Siri Eyes Free steering wheel button button located on the steering wheel.

Siri Eyes Free in the Nissan Sentra is designed to respond exclusively to voice commands, minimizing the need to look at the display while driving.

Siri is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

  • Some Siri Eyes Free functions, such as displaying images or opening certain apps, may be limited or unavailable while driving in the Nissan Sentra.
  • For optimal performance, always update your Apple device to the latest available software version.
  • Keep the interior of the Nissan Sentra as quiet as possible. Closing windows and reducing background noise such as traffic or vibration sounds helps improve voice recognition accuracy.
  • For a complete list of supported Siri Eyes Free functions, refer to the official Apple website.

Requirements

Siri Eyes Free is available only on iPhone 4S or later models. Apple devices released before the iPhone 4S are not supported by the Siri Eyes Free system in the Nissan Sentra. Visit www.apple.com/ios/siri for the most current compatibility information.

Siri must be enabled within the iPhone settings prior to use.

If the device uses a lock screen, Siri access must be allowed from the lock screen. Verify this setting on your iPhone before operating Siri Eyes Free.

For best overall results in the Nissan Sentra, always keep your device software updated to the latest version.
