noise.
O When cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to scratch or damage
the rear window antenna. Lightly wipe
along the antenna with a dampened soft
cloth. When installing a CB, ham radio or car
phone in your INFINITI, be sure to observe
the following cautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the En-
gine control system 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 juris-
dictions prohibit the use of cellular tele-
phones while driving.
O If you must make a call while your ve-
hicle is in motion, the hands free cellular
phone operational mode (if so equipped)
is highly recommended. Exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
O If a conversation in a moving vehicle re-
quires you to take notes, pull off the road

ªSelect phoneº
q C
Use the Select Phone command to select
a phone of lesser priority when two or
more phones paired with Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone System are in the ve-
hicle at the same time.
The system asks you to name the phone
and confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the se-
lected phone remains active until the igni-
tion switch is turned OFF or you select a
new phone.
ªChange priorityº
q D
Use the Change Priority command to
change the priority level of the active
phone.
The priority level determines which phone
is active when more than one paired
Bluetooth phone is in the vehicle.
The system states the priority level of the
active phone and asks for a new priority
level (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
If the new priority level is already being
used for another phone, the two phones
will swap priority levels. For example, if the current priority levels
are:
Priority Level 1 = Phone A
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone C
and you change the priority level of Phone
C to Level 1, then:
Priority Level 1 = Phone C
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone A
ªDelete phoneº
q E
Use the Delete Phone command to delete
a specific phone or all phones from the
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System.
The system announces the names of the
phones already paired with the system and
their priority level. The system then gives
you the option to delete a specific phone,
all phones or listen to the list again.
Once you chose to delete a phone or all
phones, the system asks you to confirm
this action.
NOTE:
When you delete a phone, the associated
phone book for that phone will also be de-
leted. ªSelect ringtoneº
q F
Use the Select Ringtone command to se-
lect the tone heard in the vehicle when an
incoming call is received.
The system announces the name of the
active phone and asks you to choose from
the following commands:
O ªRingtoneº Ð The system plays a ring-
tone and asks if you would like to se-
lect that tone. If you say no, the
system plays the next ringtone avail-
able and continues to cycle through
the ringtones until you select one or
quit.
O ªSilentº Ð The system asks you to
confirm your wish to disable the ring-
tone.
ªBluetooth offº
q G
Use the Bluetooth Off command to turn
off the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem.
When Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone
System is off, you will not be able to
make or receive calls using INFINITI Voice
Recognition. Also, you will not have ac-
cess to the Phone Book.

WARNINGO Do not leave children, impaired adults, or
pets alone in your vehicle. They could ac-
cidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the ve-
hicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tempera-
tures in a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
O Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously in-
jured. Keep the car locked, with the rear
seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children's
access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (Carbon monoxide)
WARNINGDo not breathe exhaust gases; they contain
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
O If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows fully open, and have the vehicle in-
spected immediately.
O Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
O Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
O Keep the trunk lid closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open, follow
these precautions:
Ð Open all the windows.
Ð Set the air recirculation switch OFF
and the fan control at high to circu-
late the air.
O If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the
seal on the trunk lid or the body, follow
the manufacturer's recommendation to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
O If a special body, camper, or other equip-
ment is added for recreational or other
usage, follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendation to prevent carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle. (Some recre-
ational vehicle appliances such as
stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may
also generate carbon monoxide.)
O The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
Ð Your vehicle is raised while being ser-
viced.
Ð You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
Ð You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
Ð You have had an accident involving
damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND

CAUTIONDo not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows. This
may cause poor reception of the signals from
the tire pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly.
FCC Notice:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, in-
cluding interference that may cause un-
desired operation of the device. AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe and
prudent manner may result in loss of control
or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times.
Obey all traffic regulations. Avoid exces-
sive speed, high speed cornering, or sud-
den steering maneuvers. These driving
practices could cause you to lose control
of your vehicle. As with any vehicle, a loss
of control could result in a collision with
other vehicles or objects, or cause the ve-
hicle to rollover, particularly if the loss of
control causes the vehicle to slide side-
ways. Be attentive at all times, and avoid
driving when tired. Never drive under the
influence of alcohol or drugs (including
prescription or over-the-counter drugs
which may cause drowsiness). Always
wear your seat belt as outlined in the ª1.
Safety Ð Seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint systemº section and also
instruct your passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash, an unbelted or improperly belted
person is significantly more likely to be in-
jured or killed than a person properly
wearing a seat belt.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
WARNING Never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces
coordination, delays reaction time and im-
pairs judgement. Driving after drinking alco-
hol increases the likelihood of being in-
volved in an accident injuring yourself and
others. Additionally, if you are injured in an
accident, alcohol can increase the severity of
the injury.
INFINITI is committed to safe driving. You
must not drive under the influence of al-
cohol. Every year thousands of people are
injured or killed in alcohol related acci-
dents. Although the local laws vary on
what is considered to be legally intoxi-
cated, the fact is that alcohol affects all
people differently and most people under-
estimate the effects of alcohol.

down shifting, fully depress the clutch
pedal, shift into the appropriate gear,
then slowly and smoothly release the
clutch.
This vehicle is equipped with a short
throw shifter manual transmission. To en-
sure smooth gear changes, fully depress
the clutch pedal before operating the shift
lever. If the clutch pedal is not fully de-
pressed before the transmission is shifted, a gear noise may be heard. Trans-
mission damage could occur.
Start the vehicle in 1st gear and shift to
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gear in se-
quence according to the vehicle speed.
To back up, depress the shift lever and
then move it to the R (Reverse) position
after stopping the vehicle completely.
If it is difficult to move the shift lever into
the R (Reverse) or 1 position (Low gear),
shift to the N (Neutral) position, and then
release the clutch pedal once. Fully de-
press the clutch pedal again and shift
into the R or 1 position.
WARNING O Do not downshift abruptly on slippery
roads. This may cause a loss of control.
O Do not over-rev the engine when shifting
to a lower gear. This may cause a loss of
control or engine damage. CAUTION O Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving. This may damage the
clutch.
O Fully depress the clutch pedal before
shifting to help prevent transmission
damage.
O Stop your vehicle completely before

The full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) system
automatically changes the driving mode. ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) WARNING
LIGHT The AWD warning light is located on the
instrument panel.
The AWD warning light comes on when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON po-
sition. It turns off soon after the engine is
started.
If any malfunction occurs in the AWD sys-
tem while the engine is running, the
warning light will come on.
The warning light may blink rapidly (about
twice per second) while trying to free a
stuck vehicle due to high power train oil
temperature. The driving mode may
change to 2 wheel drive. If the warning
light blinks rapidly during operation, stop
the vehicle with the engine idling in a
safe place immediately. Then if the light
goes off after a while, you can continue
driving.
A large difference between the diameters
of front and rear wheels will make the
warning light blink slowly (about once per
two seconds). Pull off the road in a safe
area, and idle the engine. Check that all
tire sizes are the same, tire pressure is
correct and tires are not worn. If the warning light is blinking after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked by an INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped vehicle
with two wheels on a two wheel dynamometer
and the other two wheels raised. Doing so may
result in transmission damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury.
CAUTION O Do not operate the engine on a free roller
when any of the wheels are raised.
O If the warning light comes on while
driving there may be a malfunction in the
AWD system. Reduce the vehicle speed
and have your vehicle checked by an
INFINITI dealer as soon as possible.
O Never drive on dry hard surface roads in
the SNOW mode, as this will over load
the power train and may cause a serious
malfunction.SSD0336AALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) (if so equipped)
