2011 INFINITI EX brake

For driving or starting the vehicle on snowy
roads or slippery areas, turn on the SNOW
mode switch. The indicator light
1on the
switch will illuminate. When the SNOW mode is
activated, engine output is controlled to avoid
wheel spin.
Turn off the SNOW mode for normal driving. The vehicle should be driven with the Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA) system on for most driving
conditions.
The Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system will
sound a warning chime to alert the driver when
the vehicle is traveling too close to the vehicle
ahead and will apply the brake control if nec-
essary.
To turn off the system, push the IBA OFF switch.
The
indicator will illuminate.
The IBA system will remain in the last ON or OFF
state it was left in until it is manually changed
by pushing the IBA OFF switch. The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. Theindicator will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “VEHICLE
DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)

chooses to delete a phone or all phones, the
system asks the user to confirm.
NOTE:
When the user deletes a phone, the associated
phone book for that phone will also be deleted.
● Replace Phone
Use the Replace Phone command to change
the priority level of the active phone.
The priority level determines which phone is
active when more than one paired
Bluetooth phone is in the vehicle.
The system states the priority level of the
active phone and asks for a new priority
level (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
If the new priority level is already being used
for another phone, the two phones will swap
priority levels.
For example, if the current priority levels are: Priority Level 1 = Phone A
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone C and you change the priority level of Phone C to
Level 1, then:
Priority Level 1 = Phone C
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone A
● Bluetooth On/Off
Use the Bluetooth On/Off command to turn
on/off Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem.
● Help
The system announces the available com-
mands.
VOICE ADAPTATION MODE
The Voice Adaptation mode allows up to two
users with different dialects to train the system
to improve recognition accuracy. By repeating a
number of commands, the users can create a
voice model of their own voice that is stored in
the system. The system is capable of storing a
different voice adaptation model for each con-
nected phone.
Training procedure
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine running, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in Park. 3. Press the
button.
4. Speak: “Help”. The system acknowledges the command and announces the next set
of available commands.
5. Speak: Voice Adaptation. The system
acknowledges the command and displays
the voice adaptation mode screen.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is selected automatically. If both memory locations
are already in use, the system will prompt
you to overwrite one. Follow the instruc-
tions provided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are ready to begin, press the
button.
8. The voice adaptation mode will be ex- plained. Follow the instructions provided
by the system.
9. When training is finished, the system will tell you an adequate number of phrases
have been recorded.
