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

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 fails to start using a regis-
tered key (for example, when interference
is caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring), restart
the engine using the following proce-
dures:
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) away from the registered
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.
