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.

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
q D
while carrying the Intelligent
Key.
ACC (Accessories)

to the LOCK position unless the shift lever
is in P position. (It can be turned to only
q C
.)
CAUTIONDo not leave the vehicle with the ignition
switch in ACC or ON position when the en-
gine is not running for an extended period.
This can discharge the battery. INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine does not start using a regis-
tered key (for example, when interference
is caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or an auto-
mated payment device on the key ring),
restart the engine using the following pro-
cedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po-
sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or
LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the
device (which may have caused the in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to
start, INFINITI recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices. O Make sure the area around the vehicle
is clear.
O Maintenance items should be checked
periodically, for example, each time
you check engine oil.
O Check that all windows and lights are
clean.
O Visually inspect tires for their appear-
ance and condition. Also check tires
for proper inflation.
O Lock all doors.
O Position seat and adjust head re-
straints.
O Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
O Fasten seat belts and ask all passen-
gers to do likewise.
O Check the operation of warning lights
when the ignition key is turned to the
ON position. See ªWarning/indicator
lights and audible remindersº in the
ª2. Instruments and controlsº section.BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
