SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of
dialect users to train the system to improve
recognition accuracy. By repeating a
number of commands, the users can create
a voice model of their own voice that is
stored in the system. The system is ca-
pable of storing a different speaker adapta-
tion model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will
use memory A to store the model. If
memory A is in use and memory B is
available, the system will use memory B
to store the model. If both of the memory
locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location
should be overwritten.
Training procedure The procedure for training a voice is as
follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably
quiet outdoor location. 2. Sit in the driver's seat with the engine
running, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in Park.
3. Press and hold the button for
more than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: ªPress the
PHONE/SEND ( ) button for the
hands-free phone system to enter the

PHONE/END ( ) button to select a
different language.º
5. Press the button.
For information on selecting a dif-
ferent language, see ªChoosing a lan-
guageº earlier in this section.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is se-
lected automatically. If both memory
locations are already in use, the
system will prompt you to overwrite
one. Follow the instructions provided
by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you
are ready to begin, the press the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow
the instructions provided by the

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

THREE WAY CATALYST The three way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gas in the converter is
burned at high temperatures to help re-
duce pollutants.
WARNINGO The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
O Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
CAUTIONO Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline will seriously re- duce the three-way catalyst's ability to
help reduce exhaust pollutants.
O Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if no-
ticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected.
Have the vehicle inspected promptly by
an INFINITI dealer.
O Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
O Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
O Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver's responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale.
