Satellite radio antenna Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof rack blocks the
satellite radio signal. If possible, do not put
cargo over the satellite radio antenna. When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone
in your INFINITI, be sure to observe the fol-
lowing cautions, otherwise the new equipment
may adversely affect the Engine control sys-
tem and other electronic parts.
WARNING O A cellular telephone should not be
used while driving so full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
cellular telephones while driving.
O If you must make a call while your
vehicle is in motion, the hands free
cellular phone operational mode (if
so equipped) is highly recommended.
Exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
O 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. CAUTION O Keep the antenna as far as possible
away from the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
O Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the Multiport Fuel
Injection harness. Do not route the
antenna wire next to any harness.
O Adjust the antenna standing-wave ra-
tio as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
