INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
ALTERNATE COMMAND MODE
The following section is applicable when Alter-
nate Command Mode is activated. (This mode is
selected by default for Canadian customers.)
The Alternate Command Mode enables the op-
eration of the display, audio, and climate con-
trol through Voice Recognition. When this mode
is active, an expanded list of commands can be
spoken after pushing the TALK
switch,
and the voice command menu prompts are
turned off.
Please note that in this mode the recognition
success rate may be affected as the number of
available commands and ways of speaking each
command are increased. To improve the recog-
nition success rate, try using the Speaker Ad-
aptation Function available in that mode. (See
ªSpeaker adaptation functionº later in this sec-
tion.)
In the Alternate Command Mode, review the
expanded command list for this mode, as some
commands available in the Standard Mode are
replaced. Please see the examples on the

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed
before the initialization completes the display
will show the message: ªPhonetic data down-
loaded. Please wait.º or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance from INFINITI Voice
Recognition, observe the following:
c 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.
c When the climate control is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.
c Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
c Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.

but fails to run, repeat the above proce-
dure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the engine does not start,
push the ignition switch to LOCK and wait 10
seconds before cranking again, otherwise the
starter could be damaged.
4.
Warm-up
Allow the engine to idle for at least 30
seconds after starting. Do not race the en-
gine while warming it up. Drive at moderate
speed for a short distance first, especially in
cold weather. In cold weather, keep the
engine running for a minimum of2-3
minutes before shutting it off. Starting and
stopping the engine over a short period of
time may make the vehicle more difficult to
start.
5. To stop the engine, shift the selector lever
to the P (Park) position, and push the
ignition switch to the LOCK position.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The automatic transmission in your vehicle is
electronically controlled to produce maximum

The recommended operating procedures for
this transmission are shown on the following
page. Follow these procedures for maximum
vehicle performance and driving enjoyment.
Starting the vehicle
1. After starting the engine, fully depress the
foot brake pedal before moving the selec-
tor lever out of the P (Park) position.
This AT is designed so that the foot brake pedal
must be depressed before shifting from P (Park)
to any driving position while the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
The selector lever cannot be moved out of the P
(Park) position and into any of the other posi-
tions if the ignition switch is pushed to the LOCK
or ACC position.
2. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed, push the selector lever button and move
the selector lever to a driving position.

Precaution :
c Remember not to drive at high speeds for
extended periods of time in lower than 5th
gear (5-speed model) or 7th gear (7-speed
model). This reduces fuel economy. c
Moving the selector lever rapidly to the same
side twice will shift the ranges in succes-
sion.
c In the manual shift mode, the transmission
may not shift to the selected gear. This helps
maintain driving performance and reduces
the chance of vehicle damage or loss of con-
trol.
c In the manual shift mode, the transmission
automatically shifts down to 1st gear before
the vehicle comes to a stop. When accelerat-
ing again, it is necessary to shift up to the
desired range.
Accelerator downshift Ð In D (Drive)
position Ð
For passing or hill climbing, fully depress the
accelerator pedal to the floor. This shifts the
transmission down into the lower gear, depend-
ing on the vehicle speed.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, note that
the transmission will be locked in any of the
forward gears according to the condition.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent hard braking, the fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical

LDW system operation
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) and
above. When the vehicle approaches either the
left or the right side of the traveling lane, a
warning chime will sound and the lane depar-
ture warning light (orange) on the instrument
panel will blink to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the vehicle
returns inside of the lane markers.
When you operate the lane change signal and
change traveling lanes in the direction of the
signal, the LDW system temporarily suspends
operation. It will become operable again ap-
proximately 2 seconds after the lane change
signal is turned off.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h), the LDW
system will not provide a warning.
The LDW system has an automatic setting mode
and a manual setting mode. The setting mode
can be changed. In the automatic setting mode,
the LDW system is automatically turned on
when the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position. When the LDW system is on, the LDW
ON indicator
s1on the LDW switch illuminates.
To cancel the LDW system, push the LDW switch. The LDW ON indicator will turn off. To
turn on the system, push the LDW switch again.
In the manual setting mode, you need to push
the LDW switch to turn on the system after the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON position.
The setting mode can be changed using the
LDW switch. To change the setting mode, push
and hold the LDW switch for more than 4
seconds when the LDW ON indicator is off.
When the mode is changed, a chime sounds
and the LDW ON indicator flashes.
Temporary disabled status at high
temperature
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104ÉF (40ÉC) and then started, the LDW
system may be deactivated automatically. The
LDW ON indicator on the switch will flash.
When the interior temperature is reduced, the
LDW system will resume operating automati-
cally and the LDW ON indicator will stop flash-
ing.
LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM
Precautions on LDP system
WARNING
c
The LDP system will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the driver's re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of vehicle at all times.
c The LDP system is primarily intended for use
on well-developed freeways or highways. It
may not detect the lane markers in certain
roads, weather or driving conditions.
c Using the LDP system under some condi-
tions of road, lane marker or weather, or
when you change lanes without using the
lane change signal could lead to an unex-
pected system operation. In such condi-
tions, you need to correct the vehicle's direc-
tion with your steering operation to avoid
accidents.
c When the LDP system is operating, avoid
excessive or sudden steering maneuvers.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the
vehicle.
