2006 INFINITI G35 ESP

CHILD SAFETY Children need adults to help protect them.
They need to be properly restrained.
In addition to the general information in
this manual, child safety information is
available from many other sources, in-
cluding doctors, teachers, government
traffic safety offices, and community orga-
nizations. Every child is different, so be
sure to learn the best way to transport
your child.
There are three basic types of child re-
straint systems:
O Rear-facing child restraint
O Front-facing child restraint
O Booster seat
The proper restraint depends on the
child's size. Generally, infants (up to
about 1 year and less than 20 lb (9 kg)
should be placed in rear-facing child re-
straints. Front-facing child restraints are
available for children who outgrow rear-
facing child restraints and are at least 1
year old. Booster seats are used to help
position a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on a
child who can no longer use a front-facing
child restraint. WARNING Infants and children need special protection.
The vehicle's seat belts may not fit them
properly. The shoulder belt may come too
close to the face or neck. The lap belt may
not fit over their small hip bones. In an acci-
dent, an improperly fitting seat belt could
cause serious or fatal injury. Always use ap-
propriate child restraints.
All US states and provinces of Canada re-
quire the use of approved child restraints
for infants and small children. (See ªChild
restraintsº later in this section.)
Also, there are other types of child re-
straints available for larger children for
additional protection.
INFINITI recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear seat
if possible. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the front
seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint
system (air bag system) for the front pas- senger. See ªSupplemental Restraint
Systemº later in this section for precau-
tions.
Infants Infants up to at least 1 year old should be
placed in a rear-facing child restraint.
INFINITI recommends that infants be
placed in child restraints that comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
You should choose a child restraint that
fits your vehicle and always follow the
manufacturer's instructions for installa-
tion and use.
Small children Children that are over 1 year old and
weigh between 20 lb (9 kg) and 40 lb (18
kg) can be placed in a forward facing
child restraint. Refer to the manufactur-
er's instructions for minimum and
maximum weight and height recommen-
dations. INFINITI recommends that small
children be placed in child restraints that
comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and
always follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for installation and use.

window or lean against the door. Some
examples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the previous illustrations.
O When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
side air bag inflates, you may be seri-
ously injured. Be especially careful with
children, who should always be properly
restrained.
O Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with supple-
mental side air bag inflation. SSS0140 SSS0159 SSS0162

Lockout protection When the power door lock switch (driver
or front passenger) is moved to the LOCK
position with the key in the ignition and
any door open, all doors will lock and un-
lock automatically. This helps to prevent
the keys from being accidentally locked
inside the vehicle.
CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
(Sedan) Child safety rear door lock helps prevent
rear doors from being opened acciden-
tally, especially when small children are
in the vehicle.
When the levers are in the LOCK
q 1
posi-
tion, the rear doors can be opened by the
outside door handles only.
To disengage, move the levers to the un-
lock position
q 2
. It is possible to lock/unlock all doors,
trunk lid and fuel-filler door and activate
the panic alarm by using the keyfob from
outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob can operate at a maximum
distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m)
away from the vehicle. (The operating dis-
tance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information about pur-
chase and use of additional keyfobs, con-
tact an INFINITI dealer.
The keyfob will not function when:
O the battery is completely discharged,
O the distance between the vehicle and
the keyfob is more than 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm will not activate when the
key is in the ignition switch.
CAUTION The following conditions or occurrences may
damage the keyfob. SPA0086A

FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhib-
iting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off ob-
jects. Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves
away from a station transmitter, the sig-
nals will tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control counterclockwise to reduce
treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the re-
flective characteristics of FM signals, di-
rect and reflected signals reach the re-
ceiver at the same time. The signals may
cancel each other, resulting in momentary
flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION AM signals, because of their low fre-
quency, can bend around objects and
skip along the ground. In addition, the
signals can be bounced off the iono-
sphere and bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics. AM signals are
also subject to interference as they travel
from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is
passing through freeway underpasses or in areas with many tall buildings. It can
also occur for several seconds during
ionospheric turbulence even in areas
where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, elec-
trical power lines, electric signs and even
traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped) When the satellite radio is first installed
or the battery has been replaced, the sat-
ellite radio may not work properly. This is
not a malfunction. Wait more than 10 min-
utes with satellite radio ON for satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available
unless optional satellite receiver and an-
tenna are installed and an XM or
SIRIUS TM
satellite radio service subscrip-
tion is active.
Satellite radio is not available in Alaska
and Hawaii.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the sat-
ellite antenna.SAA0306

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
