O ªSend/Enter/Call/Dialº Ð Use the
Send command to enter numbers dur-
ing a call. For example, if you were di-
rected to dial an extension by an auto-
mated system:
Say: ªSend one two three four.º
The system acknowledges the com-
mand and sends the tones associated
with the numbers. The system then
ends the VR session and returns to
the call.
O ªTransfer callº Ð Use the Transfer Call
command to transfer the call from the
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System
to the cellular phone when privacy is
desired.
The system announces, ªTransfer call.

system then ends the VR session.
You can also issue the Transfer Call
command again to return to a hands-
free call through the vehicle.
O ªMuteº Ð Use the Mute command to
mute your voice so the other party
cannot hear it. Use the mute command
again to unmute your voice. NOTE:
If the other party ends the call or the cellu-
lar phone network connection is lost while
the Mute feature is on, the Mute feature
may need to be reset to ªoff.º
ªPhone bookº
The Phone Book stores up to 40 names for
each phone paired with the system. Each
name can have up to 4 locations/phone
numbers associated with it.
NOTE:
Each phone has its own separate phone
book. You cannot access Phone A's phone
book if you are currently connected with
Phone B.
ªNew entryº
q A
Use the New Entry command to store a
new name in the system. When prompted by the system, say the
name you would like to give the new
entry.
For example, say: ªMary.º
If the name is too long or too short, the
system tells you, then prompts you for a
name again.
Also, if the name sounds too much like a
name already stored, the system tells
you, then prompts you for a name again.
Once the system accepts the name and
you confirm it is correct, the system asks
for a location (Home, Office, Mobile or
Other).
For example, say: ªHome.º
The system acknowledges the location
and asks for a number.
For example, say: ªfive five five one
two one two.º See ªHow to say num-
bersº earlier in this section for more

Use the Delete command to erase one en-
try from the phone book, all entries from
the phone book, the current redial
number or the current call back number.
To delete entries from the phone book,
say a name or ªAll entriesº when
prompted by the system.
The system acknowledges the command
and asks you to confirm the deletion.
To delete the current redial number or call
back number, say ªredial numberº or ªcall
back numberº when prompted by the sys-
tem.
If a redial number or a call back number
exists, the system deletes them without
asking for confirmation.
If there is no number for the entry you are
trying to delete, the system says so and
ends the VR session.
ªList namesº
q D
Use the List Names command to hear all
the names and locations in the phone
book. The system recites the phone book en-
tries but does not include the actual

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
speaker adaptation mode or press 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
system. 9. When training is finished, the system
will tell you an adequate number of
phrases have been recorded.
10. The system will ask you to say your
name. Follow the instructions to regis-
ter your name.
11. The system will announce that
speaker adaptation has been com-
pleted and the system is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
O The button is pressed for more
than 5 seconds in SA mode.
O The vehicle is driven during SA mode.
O The ignition switch is turned to the
OFF or LOCK position.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the in-
stallation of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
Additional information
O The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
O The TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not de- tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving).
O Tire pressure rises and falls de-
pending on the heat caused by the ve-
hicle's operation and the outside tem-
perature. Low outside temperature can
lower the temperature of the air inside
the tire which can cause a lower tire
inflation pressure. This may cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. If the warning light illuminates
in low ambient temperature, check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see ªLow tire
pressure warning lightº in the ª2. Instru-
ments and controlsº section and ªTire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)º in
the ª6. In case of emergencyº section.
WARNING O If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce ve-
hicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could re-
sult in serious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If you have
a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. (See ªFlat tireº in the ª6.
In case of emergencyº section for changing
a flat tire.)
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.

ON (Normal operating position)
q E
:
This position turns on the ignition system
and electrical accessories.
START
q F
:
This position starts the engine. As soon
as the engine has started, release the
switch immediately. It will automatically
return to the ON position.
For important safety information, see ªIg-
nition switchº in the ª5. Starting and driv-
ingº section.
The ignition switch cannot be turned back
to the LOCK position unless the shift lever

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

WARNINGDo not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may
result in increased stopping distances.
Normal operation The ABS will not operate at speeds below
3 to 6 MPH (5 to 10 km/h) to stop the ve-
hicle. (The speeds will vary according to
road conditions.) When the anti-lock
system senses that one or more wheels
are close to locking up, the actuator
(under the hood) rapidly applies and re-
leases hydraulic pressure (like pumping
the brakes very quickly). While the actua-
tor is working, you may feel a pulsation in
the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibra-
tion from the actuator under the hood.
This is normal and indicates that the ABS
is working properly. However, the ABS op-
eration may indicate that road conditions
are hazardous and extra care is required
while driving.
Self-test feature The anti-lock brake system consists of
electronic sensors, electric pumps, and
hydraulic solenoids controlled by a com- puter. The computer has a built-in diag-
nostic feature that tests the system each
time you start the engine and move the
vehicle at a low speed in forward or re-
verse. When the self-test occurs, you may
hear a clunk noise and/or feel a pulsation
in the brake pedal. This is normal and is
not an indication of any malfunction. If
the computer senses any malfunction, it
switches the ABS off and turns on the
ABS warning light in the instrument
panel. The brake system operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance.
If the light comes on during the self-test
or while driving, take the vehicle to an
INFINITI dealer for repair.
WARNING The anti-lock brake system is a sophisticated
device, but it cannot prevent accidents re-
sulting from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain vehicle con-
trol during braking on slippery surfaces, but
remember that the stopping distance on slip-
pery surfaces will be longer than on normal
surfaces even with the anti-lock brake system. Stopping distances may also be
longer on rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire chains. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front of you. Ultimately, the responsibility
for safety of self and others rests in the
hands of the driver.
Tire type and condition of tires may also af-
fect braking effectiveness.
O When replacing tires, install the speci-
fied size of tires to the front and rear.
O When installing a spare tire, make sure it
is the proper size and type as specified
on the Tire and Loading Information
label. See ªVehicle identificationº in the
ª9. Technical and consumer informa-
tionº section for the Tire and Loading In-
formation label location.

WARNINGThe RAS system, although a sophisticated
device, cannot prevent accidents resulting
from careless or dangerous driving tech-
niques. Ultimately the responsibility for
safety of self and others rests in the hands of
the driver. Therefore only through attentive
and careful driving methods can the RAS
system be fully appreciated and safety as-
sured. FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
de-icer or glycerin to it through the key
hole. If the lock becomes frozen, heat the
key before inserting it into the key hole.
ANTI-FREEZE In the winter when it is anticipated that the
temperature will drop below 32ÉF (0ÉC),
check antifreeze to assure proper winter
protection. For additional information, see
ªEngine cooling systemº in the ª8. Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourselfº section.
BATTERY If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the
battery fluid may freeze and damage the
battery. To maintain maximum efficiency,
the battery should be checked regularly.
For additional information, see ªBatteryº
in the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-yourselfº
section.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER If the vehicle is to be left outside without
antifreeze, drain the cooling system by
opening the drain plug located under the
radiator. Refill before operating the ve-
hicle. See ªEngine cooling systemº in the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-yourselfº sec-
tion for changing engine coolant.
TIRE EQUIPMENT 1. SUMMER tires are of a tread design to
provide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance
of these tires will be substantially re-
duced in snowy and icy conditions. If
you operate your vehicle on snowy or
icy roads, INFINITI recommends the
use of MUD & SNOW or ALL SEASON
tires on all four wheels. Please consult
an INFINITI dealer for the tire type,
size, speed rating and availability in-
formation.
2. For additional traction on icy roads,
studded tires may be used. However,
some provinces and states prohibit
their use. Check local, state and pro-
vincial laws before installing studded
tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of
studded snow tires, on wet or dry sur-
faces, may be poorer than that of non-
studded snow tires.
3. Tire chains may be used if desired.
Make sure they are of proper size for
the tires on your vehicle and are in-COLD WEATHER DRIVING
