AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
RADIO
Push the ignition switch to the“ACC”or
“ON” position before turning on the radio.
If you listen to the radio with the engine or
the hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be pushed to the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station
signal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-
of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are de-
signed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with
monaural (single station) FM having
slightly more range than stereo FM. Ex-
ternal influences may sometimes interfere
with FM station reception even if the FM
station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance between the transmitter
and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-
sight path, exhibiting many of the same
characteristics as light. For example they
will reflect off objects.

.You may hear clicks or experience
interruptions while speaking with the
Infiniti Connection Response Specia-
lists. This is due to a shift in the
connection zone and is not a malfunc-
tion.
. Depending on the line used, the sound
volume may decrease. Adjust the vo-
lume as necessary.
. Received sounds may be distorted or
ambient noise may sound like voices of
a crowd. This is due to the use of the
digital line and is not a malfunction.
. You may hear your own voice from the
speaker when talking with the Infiniti
Connection Response Specialists due
to a network disturbance. When this
occurs, reconnect the line after a few
minutes or at a different location.
. This vehicle incorporates a communica-
tion device that is called a TCU (Tele-
matics Control Unit). The
communication connection between
this unit and the Infiniti Connection
Data Center allows for various services.
When the system connects to the
Infiniti Connection Data Center, an
antenna icon will appear on the screen. Use the service in a location where the
symbol representing good signal recep-
tion appears on the screen.
: When the signal reception is good
: When the signal reception is bad
. The Infiniti Connection service uses the
TCU (Telematics Control Unit). Even if
the signal strength bar of the in-vehicle
data communication module indicates
good reception, connection to the
Infiniti Connection Data Center may be
disabled. This does not indicate a
malfunction. Operate the system again
after a few minutes.

*Areas with numerous tall trees
*In a canyon
INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially cellular phones or transcei-
vers, on the instrument panel. Because the
strength of the GPS signal is approximately one
billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt
the signal.
Incorrect display of vehicle position
The following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’s position or
traveling direction. The accuracy will return
to normal if the driving conditions return to
normal.
*When there is a similar road nearby.
*When the vehicle is traveling in an
area with a grid pattern road system.
*When the vehicle is passing through a
large Y-shaped intersection/junction.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Each volume level (ring tone, incoming voice or
outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between the
navigation screen and a cellular phone screen.
Making or receiving a call is unavailable even
though the antenna display shows that it is
possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the model
of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna display
and remaining battery level shown on the navigation
screen may be different from those shown on the cellular
phone screen. Use them as a reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using a
cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or com-
pletely shut out radio waves that are used for
cellular phones. This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads, high
voltage electric power cables, traffic signals,
neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from
radio devices may adversely affect the cellular
phone.
This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio
system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular
phone may adversely affect the sound from the
audio system. This is not a malfunction.
Sound skip. The cellular phone may have turned on wireless LAN
(Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).

VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ be-
tween Plan View and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too cluttered.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations may
be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing on the
screen may be different because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the
correct position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was
pushed off, for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a road
where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect
depending on the driving environments and the levels of
positioning accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for a
period of time to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location”
(page 9-59)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new
road, the vehicle icon is located on another
road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road
available. Updated road information will be included in the
next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night
screen even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were
turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode using
<
>
when turning on the headlights.“Screen Settings” (page 2-16)
The map does not scroll even when the
vehicle is moving. The current location map screen is not displayed.
