2010 INFINITI FX rear view mirror

Front and rearview
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
A, are displayed on the
monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
● Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
● Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
● Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
● Green line
4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
6:
Indicate the predicted course when operating
the vehicle. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the steering
wheel is turned. The predicted course lines will
move depending on how much the steering
wheel is turned and will not be displayed while
the steering wheel is in the neutral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
WARNING
● The distance between objects viewed in the
rearview differs from actual distance be-
cause a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in
the rearview will appear visually opposite
than when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line.
● If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs, per-
form the following procedure:
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
● When the steering wheel is turned with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position, the
predicted course lines may be displayed
incorrectly.
● The displayed lines on the rearview will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in the rear
center of the vehicle.

NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the neutral position, both the right and
left predicted course lines
6are displayed.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon on
the bird-eye view may differ somewhat from the
actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are
indicated in black.
After pushing the ignition switch, with the
Blind-Area Reminder turned to ON, the non-
viewable area
2is highlighted in yellow for 7
seconds after the bird-eye view is displayed. When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
an object, the corner sonar indicator
3ap-
pears.
WARNING
● Objects in the bird-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the
cameras on the outside mirrors, the front
and the rear of the vehicle.
● Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam
of the views.
● Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
● The view for the bird-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
● A line on the ground may be misaligned and
is not seen as being straight at the seam of
the views. The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the vehicle.

WARNING
●Use a phone after stopping your vehicle in a
safe location. If you have to use a phone
while driving, exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
● If you find yourself unable to devote full at-
tention to vehicle operation while talking on
the phone, pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use a
phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an owner
of a Bluetooth enabled cellular phone, you can
set up the wireless connection between your
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule. With Bluetooth wireless technology, you
can make or receive a telephone call with your
cellular phone in your pocket.
Once your cellular phone is paired to the in-
vehicle phone module, no phone connecting
procedure is required. Your phone is automati-
cally connected with the in-vehicle phone mod- ule when the ignition switch is pushed to the
“ON” position with the registered cellular
phone turned on and carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular
phone at a time.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located in the ceiling in front of the
rearview mirror) are used for the handsfree
communications.
If the audio system is being used at the time,
the audio mode will mute and will stay muted
until the active call is ended.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system supports
the phone commands, so dialing a phone num-
ber using your voice is possible.
Before using the Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
● Set up the wireless connection between a
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module before using the Bluetooth Hands-
Free Phone System.
● Some Bluetooth enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit
www.InfinitiUSA.com/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list. ●
You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the telephone service area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking ga-
rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked in order not to be 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.
● Immediately after the ignition switch is
pushed to the “ON” position, it may be
impossible to receive a call for a short period
of time.
● 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 connection
disruption.
● While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth wireless connection, the bat-
tery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual.

●Push theswitch or the BACKbutton
once to return to the previous screen.
● If you want to cancel the command, push the
switch. The message “Voice input is
canceled” will be announced. If you want to
adjust the volume of the system feedback,
push the volume control buttons [+] or []
on the steering wheel or use the audio
system volume knob while the system is
making an announcement.
How to speak commands :
The Voice Recognition System requires a certain
way to speak voice commands. Speak normally
and clearly in the direction of the microphone
(located in front of the rearview mirror). Every
digit of the number must be spoken individually
and in a normal manner. The hands-free mode
will work best when the telephone number is
spoken in blocks of three to five digits. After
each spoken block is terminated, the system
will repeat the three to five digits and wait for
you to speak the next digit or block of digits
required for the telephone number.
See “List of voice commands” later in this
section for the appropriate commands that can
be spoken for the hands-free mode system.
Example:
In order to initiate a call, speak “Phonebook”. INFO
●
If you are controlling the telephone system
by voice command for the first time or do not
know the appropriate voice command, speak
“Help”. The system announces the available
commands.
● When you speak numbers, you can speak
both “zero” or “oh” for “0”.
Personal vocabulary (voicetags) :
Voice Recognition System is equipped with the
function called “voicetags”, which can be asso-
ciated with the phone number and name in the
phonebook. Using the voice tag will automati-
cally generate a speed dial to the registered
number.
See “PHONEBOOK REGISTRATION” earlier in
this section.
You can call the identified number using the
following command: “Dial” followed by the
voice tag.
Dialling a name with a voice tag :
It is possible to call up a name via a voice tag
instead of a number, provided the name and
number of your correspondent have been pre-
viously stored in the phonebook. Dial via a voice tag, according to the following
procedure.
1. Push theswitch.
2. The system replies “please say a com- mand after the beep. Available commands
are: Call, Phonebook, Recent Calls, Con-
nect Phone or Help”.
3. Give your instructions to the system by saying: “Dial John” for example (“John”
must have been previously set as a voice
tag for John’s phone number) or “Dial
One” if John is classified as one in the
phonebook.
If the system cannot understand your com-
mand, repeat it according to the recommen-
dations mentioned in “How to speak com-
mands” earlier in this section.
4. If the given name (voice tag) is correct, the phone system will dial the number
registered for “John”.
INFO
To end the voice command phase at any stage
of the procedure, push the
switch once
in order to activate the cancel command.

Trailer lights
CAUTION
When splicing into the vehicle electrical sys-
tem, a commercially available power-type
module/converter must be used to provide
power for all trailer lighting. This unit uses the
vehicle battery as a direct power source for all
trailer lights while using the vehicle tail light,
stoplight and turn signal circuits as a signal
source. The module/converter must draw no
more than 15 milliamps from the stop and tail
lamp circuits. Using a module/converter that
exceeds these power requirements may dam-
age the vehicle’s electrical system. See a repu-
table trailer retailer to obtain the proper equip-
ment and to have it installed.
Trailer lights should comply with federal and/or
local regulations. For assistance in hooking up
trailer lights, contact an INFINITI retailer or
reputable trailer retailer.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking sys-
tem, make sure it conforms to federal and/or
local regulations and that it is properly in-
stalled.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system directly to
the vehicle brake system.
Pre-towing tips
● Be certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded or unloaded trailer is
hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it has an
abnormal nose-up or nose-down condition;
check for improper tongue load, overload,
worn suspension or other possible causes of
either condition.
● Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
● Keep the cargo load as low as possible in the
trailer to keep the trailer center of gravity
low.
● Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the
trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in
the back half. Also make sure the load is
balanced side to side.
● Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, ve-
hicle tire pressure, trailer light operation,
and trailer wheel lug nuts every time you
attach a trailer to the vehicle.
● Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not, install any mirrors required for towing before
driving the vehicle.
● Determine the overall height of the vehicle
and trailer so the required clearance is
known.Trailer towing tips
In order to gain skill and an understanding of
the vehicle’s behavior, you should practice turn-
ing, stopping and backing up in an area which
is free from traffic. Steering stability, and brak-
ing performance will be somewhat different
than under normal driving conditions.
● Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
● Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin or
lock to prevent the coupler from inadvert-
ently becoming unlatched.
● Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
● Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
● Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. Some states or provinces have spe-
cific speed limits for vehicles that are towing
trailers. Obey the local speed limits.
● When backing up, hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand. Move your
hand in the direction in which you want the
trailer to go. Make small corrections and
