How to speak commands:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The 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” (P.4-95) 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

existing phone. If the user tries to
connect a phone that has already been
connected to the vehicle system, the
system announces the name that the
phone is already using. The connecting
procedure will then be cancelled.
The Add Phone command is not avail-
able when the vehicle is moving.
. Select Phone
Use the Select Phone command to
select a phone of lesser priority when
two or more phones connected with
Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone System
are in the vehicle at the same time.
The system asks the user to name the
phone and confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the
selected phone remains active until the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position or a new phone is selected.
. Delete Phone
Use the Delete Phone command to
delete a specific phone or all phones
from Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone
System. The system announces the
names of the phones already paired
with the system and their priority level.
The system then gives the option to
delete a specific phone, all phones or listen to the list again. Once the user
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

The system announces the available
commands.
VOICE ADAPTATION MODEGUID-7F67A446-489B-4F98-9EC8-AAF59CF44251The Voice Adaptation mode allows up to
two users with different dialects to train
the system to improve recognition accu-
racy. 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 connected
phone.

WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. They could
accidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Closely supervise children when they are
around cars to prevent them from play-
ing and becoming locked in the trunk
where they could be seriously injured.
Keep the car locked, with the rear
seatback and trunk lid securely latched
when not in use, and prevent children’s
access to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)GUID-9B424B2E-81F3-4BA1-BF2D-AD3661BD7EB5
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-
ous. It can cause unconsciousness or
death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open,
follow these precautions:
1) Open all the windows.
2) Set the
air recirculation to off
and the fan control to high to
circulate the air. .
If electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal on the trunk lid or the body,
follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion to prevent carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle.
. The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
—The vehicle is raised for service.
—You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger compart-
ment.
—You notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust system.
—You have had an accident involvingdamage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING

5-8Starting and driving
If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or
“blows-out”while driving maintain control
of the vehicle by following the procedure
below. Please note that this procedure is
only a general guide. The vehicle must be
driven as appropriate based on the condi-
tions of the vehicle, road and traffic.
WARNING
The following actions can increase the
chance of losing control of the vehicle if
there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure.
Losing control of the vehicle may cause a
collision and result in personal injury.
. The vehicle generally moves or pulls in
the direction of the flat tire.
. Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
. Do not rapidly release the accelerator
pedal.
. Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering
wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course. 3. When appropriate, slowly release the
accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe location off the road and away from
traffic if possible.
5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu- ally stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and either contact a roadside emer-
gency service to change the tire or see
“Changing flat tire (for models with
spare tire)” (P.6-3) of this Owner’s
Manual.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND
DRIVING
GUID-13C3E07E-F52F-4804-BE32-BDBDEB1ED016
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces
coordination, delays reaction time and im-
pairs judgement. Driving after drinking
alcohol increases the likelihood of being
involved in an accident injuring yourself and
others. Additionally, if you are injured in an
accident, alcohol can increase the severity of the injury.
INFINITI is committed to safe driving.
However, you must choose not to drive
under the influence of alcohol. Every year
thousands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related accidents. Although the
local laws vary on what is considered to
be legally intoxicated, the fact is that
alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).
Don’t drive if your ability to operate your
vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or
some other physical condition.

System operationGUID-2AEC33D4-891E-4359-B765-5C15FEE227B3
WARNING
Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle
according to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is
required for a lane change. Depress the brake pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when
using the ICC system.
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system maintains the set vehicle speed,
similar to standard cruise control, as long
as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.Vehicle detected ahead:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the
vehicle by controlling the throttle and
applying the brakes to match the speed
of a slower vehicle ahead. The system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.
The stoplights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on. The ICC system will also display the set
speed and selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accel-
eration to the set vehicle speed or any time
