Once a cellular phone is connected to the
in-vehicle phone module, no phone connecting
procedure is required anymore. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module 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.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system supports
the phone commands, so dialing a phone num-
ber using your voice is possible. For more
details, see “INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM (models with navigation system)” later in
this section; page 4-109.
Before using the BluetoothHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
● Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible 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 impos-
sible 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. ●
If the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, please visit
www.InfinitiUSA.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.
● Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers. Stor-
ing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise.
● Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging,
cellular phone antenna, etc.
● The antenna display on the monitor will not
coincide with the antenna display of some
cellular phones.
● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize its echoes.
● If reception between callers is unclear, ad-
justing the incoming or outgoing call volume
may improve the clarity.

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. ●
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

rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.

tery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual.

VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM
You can also use the Bluetoothhands-free
phone system with Voice Recognition System.
INFO
● The available voice commands are only ap-
plicable to the relevant language set in the
LANGUAGE setting screen. (See “HOW TO
USE SETTING BUTTON” earlier in this sec-
tion.)
● If the vehicle is in motion, some commands
may not be available so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
Using system
Initialization :
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, Voice Recognition System is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the
switch on the steering
wheel is pushed before the initialization com-
pletes, the system will not accept any com-
mand. Before starting :
To get the best performance out of the Voice
Recognition System, observe the following:
●
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
● Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
● Speak a voice command within 5 seconds
after the beep sound. If no voice command is
given, the system will ask you for a number.
If no further command is given, the session
ends.
● Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words. Giving voice command:
1. Push and release theswitch located
on the steering wheel.
