2006 INFINITI G35 radio

Ð Your vehicle is in an area where it
is difficult to receive radio waves;
such as in a tunnel, in an under-
ground parking garage, near a tall
building or in a mountainous area.
Ð Your cellular phone is locked to
prevent it from being dialed.
When the radio wave condition is not
ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it may
be difficult to hear the other person's
voice during a call.
Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connec-
tion disruption.
While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth wireless connec-
tion, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
If the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning,
please refer to ªTroubleshooting guideº
later in this section. You can also visit
www.infiniti.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help. Refer to the cellular phone Owner's
Manual regarding the telephone charges,
cellular phone antenna and body, etc.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radia-
tion exposure limits set forth for an un-
controlled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 8 inch (20 cm) be-
tween the radiator and your body. This
Transmitter must not be co-located or op-
erating in conjunction with any other an-
tenna or transmitter.
USING THE SYSTEM The INFINITI Voice Recognition system al-
lows hands-free operation of the
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some com-
mands may not be available so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation. Initialization When the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which takes a few seconds.
When completed, the amber light on the
overhead console illuminates and the
system is ready to accept voice com-
mands. If the button is pushed be-
fore the initialization completes, the
system will announce ªHands-free phone
system not readyº and will not react to
voice commands.
Operating tips To get the best performance out of the
INFINITI Voice Recognition system, ob-
serve the following:
O Keep the interior of the vehicle as
quiet as possible. Close the windows
to eliminate surrounding noises
(traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
recognizing voice commands correctly.
O Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command. Otherwise, the
command will not be received properly.
O Start speaking a command within 5
seconds after the tone sounds.

O Speak in a natural voice without paus-
ing between words.
Giving voice commands To operate INFINITI Voice Recognition,
push and release the button located
on the steering wheel. The light on the
overhead console flashes to signal you
have entered a voice recognition (VR) ses-
sion. After the tone sounds, speak a com-
mand.
The command given is picked up by the
microphone, and voice feedback is given
when the command is accepted.
O If you need to hear the available com-
mands for the current menu again, say
ªHelpº and the system will repeat
them.
O If a command is not recognized, the
system announces, ªCommand not
recognized. Please try again.º Repeat
the command in a clear voice.
O If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say ªGo backº or
ªCorrectionº anytime the system is
waiting for a response.
O You can cancel a command when the
system is waiting for a response by saying, ªCancelº or ªQuit.º The system
announces ªCancelº and ends the VR
session. You can also push the
button on the steering wheel at
any time. Whenever the VR session is
cancelled, a double beep is played to
indicate you have exited the system.
O If you want to adjust the volume of the
voice feedback, push the volume con-
trol switches (+ or -) on the steering
wheel while being provided with feed-
back. You can also use the radio
volume control knob.
How to say numbers
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain way to speak numbers in voice com-
mands. Refer to the rules and examples
below.
O Either ªzeroº or ªohº can be used for
ª0º.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
Ð ªOne eight oh oh six six two six two
oh ohº, or
Ð ªOne eight zero zero six six two six
two oh ohº
O Words can be used for the first 4 dig-
its places only. Example: 1-800-662-6200
Ð ªOne eight hundred six six two six
two oh ohº,
Ð NOT ªOne eight hundred six six two
sixty two hundred, and
Ð NOT ªOne eight oh oh six six two
sixty two hundred.
O Numbers can be spoken in small
groups. The system will prompt you to
continuing entering digits, if desired.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
Ð ªOne eight oh ohº
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
Ð ªsix six twoº
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
Ð ªsix two oh ohº
O You can say ªStarº for * and ªPoundº
for # at anytime in any position of the
phone number.
Example: 1-555-1212 *123
Ð ªOne five five five one two one two
star one two threeº

The ignition lock is designed so that the
ignition switch cannot be turned to the
LOCK position and removed until the se-
lector lever is moved to the P (Park) posi-
tion.
When turning the ignition switch, make
sure the selector lever is in the P position.
If the selector lever is not returned to the
P position, the ignition switch cannot be
moved toward the LOCK position.
When the ignition switch cannot be
turned toward the LOCK position, proceed
as follows: 1. Move the selector lever into the P po-
sition.
2. Turn the ignition switch slightly in the
ON direction.
3. Turn the key toward the LOCK posi-
tion.
The selector lever can be moved from the P
position if the ignition switch is in the ON
position and the foot brake pedal is de-
pressed.
There is an OFF position in between the
LOCK and ACC positions, although it does
not show on the lock cylinder. When the
ignition is in the OFF position the steering
wheel is not locked.
In order for the steering wheel to be
locked, it must be turned about 1/6 of a
turn counterclockwise from the straight
up position.
To lock the steering wheel, turn the igni-
tion switch to the LOCK position. To unlock
the steering wheel, push the ignition
switch in and turn it gently while rotating
the steering wheel slightly right and left.
If the battery of the vehicle equipped with
the Intelligent Key system is discharged,
the ignition switch cannot be turned from the LOCK position, even using the me-
chanical key or valet key.
WARNING Never turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position while driving. The steering wheel
will lock. This may cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle and could result in se-
rious vehicle damage and/or personal injury.
IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONS Push in the ignition switch to the
q B
range when you turn it.
LOCK (Normal parking position):
The ignition switch can only be locked in
the
q A
position.
The ignition switch will be unlocked when
it is pushed in, and turned to the ACC po-
sition

REMOVING SPOTS Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as pos-
sible from the surface of the paint to
avoid lasting damage or staining. Special
cleaning products are available at an
INFINITI dealer or any automotive acces-
sory store.
UNDERBODY In areas where road salt is used in winter,
the underbody must be cleaned regularly.
This will prevent dirt and salt from
building up and causing underbody and
suspension corrosion. Before the winter
period and again in the spring, the under-
seal must be checked and, if necessary,
re-treated.
GLASS Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and
dust film from the glass surfaces. It is
normal for glass to become coated with a
film after the vehicle is parked in the hot
sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film. CAUTION When cleaning the inside of the windows, do
not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive
cleaners or chlorine-based disinfectant
cleaners. They could damage the electrical
conductors, radio antenna elements or rear
window defroster elements.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS Wash regularly, especially during winter
months in areas where road salt is used.
Salt could discolor the wheel if not re-
moved.
CHROME PARTS Clean all chrome parts regularly with a
non-abrasive chrome polish to maintain
the finish.
TIRE DRESSING INFINITI does not recommend the use of
tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a
coating to the tires to help reduce discol-
oration of the rubber. If a tire dressing is
applied to the tires, it may react with the
coating and form a compound. This com- pound may come off the tire while driving
and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take
the following precautions:
O Use a water-based tire dressing. The
coating on the tire dissolves more
easily with an oil-based tire dressing.
O Apply a light coat of tire dressing to
help prevent it from entering the tire
tread/grooves (where it would be diffi-
cult to remove).
O Wipe off excess tire dressing using a
dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing
is completely removed from the tire
tread/grooves.
O Allow the tire dressing to dry as rec-
ommended by tire dressing manufac-
turer.
