TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.
SymptomSolution
System fails to interpret the command
correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See
“INFINITI Voice Recognition system (models with navigation system) ”later in this
section; page 4-114.)
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is too noisy to
use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
The system consistently selects the
wrong voicetag. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See
“Vehicle phonebook ”earlier in this section.)
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

2. A list of commands appears on the screen, and the system announces,
“Please say a command after the beep.
Available commands are: Call, Phone-
book, Recent Calls, Connect Phone or
Help ”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from
to,
speak a command. See the “List of
voice commands ”later in this section
for the voice command list. Speak
“ Call ”for example.
INFO
Voice commands cannot be recognized as long as the screen icon is not in the
command recognition mode
.
4. The system acknowledges the com- mand and announces the next set of
available commands.
5. After the tone sounds, speak the phone number.
6. When you have finished speaking the phone number, the system repeats it
back and announces the available
commands.
7. After system responds, speak “Dial ”
and the system dials the spoken
numbers.

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 “Phone-
book” .
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 com-
mands.
. 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 associated with the phone number and
name in the phonebook. Using the voice
tag will automatically 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
has been previously stored in the phone-
book.
Dial via a voice tag, according to the
following procedure. 1. Push theswitch.
2. The system replies “please say a
command after the beep. Available
commands are: Call, Phonebook, Re-
cent Calls, Connect 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
command, repeat it according to the
recommendations mentioned in “How
to speak commands ”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.
Manual command selection:
Commands can be selected manually.

Symptom/error messageSolution
Displays “COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED ”or the
system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see
“Command List” earlier in this section.
2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.
The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag in
the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See
“Bluetooth

System (models with navigation system) ”earlier in this section; page 4-89.)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.

5-4Starting and driving
WARNING
.The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
CAUTION
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline seriously reduce
the three-way catalyst ’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions
in the ignition, fuel injection, or elec-
trical systems can cause overrich fuel
flow into the three-way catalyst, causing
it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the
engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of
performance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the vehicle
inspected promptly by an INFINITI retai-
ler. .
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause
the engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle
’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
anditisthedriver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-

tions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information
.The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may
notdetectasuddendropintire
pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).
. The low tire pressure warning light does
not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is
inflated to the recommended pressure,
the vehicle must be driven at speeds
above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure
warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge
to check the tire pressure. .
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
appears in the dot matrix liquid crystal
display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low
tire pressure is detected. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when
the low tire pressure warning light
turns off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
does not appear if the tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending
on the heat caused by the vehicle ’s
operation and the outside temperature.
Low outside temperature can lower the
temperature of the air inside the tire
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If
the warning light illuminates in low
ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.
. You can also check the pressure of all
tires (except the spare tire) on the
display screen. The order of the tire
pressure figures displayed on the
screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position. See “
TIRE PRESSURE information ”in the “4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems” section.
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light ”in the “2. Instru-
ments and controls ”section and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ”in
the “6. In case of emergency ”section.
WARNING
. If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates or LOW PRESSURE informa-
tion is displayed on the monitor screen
while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury. Check
the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
