11. Troubleshooting guide
11-14
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not recognize the connection
of a cellular phone. The system does not
receive or make a call. The cellular phone is not compatible with the in-
vehicle hands-free phone system.
Use a cellular phone compatible with the system. Visit the
website (www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth) for model com-
patibility.
The cellular phone is not connected. Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
The phone operation is limited by the functions
(such as dial lock, etc.) of the registered cellular
phone. Remove any settings that are limiting use of the cellular
phone, and then perform registration again.
The other party cannot hear your voice. The
other party can hear your voice, but it cracks or
cuts out. The cellular phone is not connected.
Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.
The fan speed of the air conditioner is too fast. Decrease the fan speed of the air conditioner.
The ambient noise level is excessive. (For example:
heavy rain, construction sites, inside a tunnel,
oncoming vehicles, etc.) Close the windows to shut out ambient noise.
The noise generated by driving the vehicle is too
loud. Reduce the vehicle speed, and then speak a command.
The incoming or outgoing voice level is too loud. Adjust the incoming or outgoing voice level properly.
The voice is cut out or noise is heard during a
call. The wireless Bluetooth
®connection may be dis-
rupted depending on the location of the cellular
phone. Do not place the cellular phone in an area surrounded by
metal or far away from the in-vehicle hands-free phone
system. Do not place a cellular phone close to the seats
or your body.
When a cellular phone is operated to make a
call, the hands-free function becomes una-
vailable. Some models of a cellular phone do not switch to
the hands-free mode when they are operated to
make a call. This is not a malfunction. Make a call again using the
hands-free function.
The other party’s voice cannot be heard. There
is no ring tone. The volume level is set to the minimum.
Adjust the volume level.
A cellular phone is not connected. Check the registration procedure, and then register the
cellular phone again.

VOICE RECOGNITION
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not operate or fails to interpret the
command correctly. The interior of the vehicle is too noisy.
Close the windows or have the other occupants be
quiet.
The fan speed of the air conditioner is too fast. Decrease the fan speed of the air conditioner.
The noise generated by driving the vehicle is too
loud. Reduce the vehicle speed, and then speak the
command.
The voice command is spoken in a low voice. Speak the command in a louder voice.
The timing of speaking a command is too fast. Speak the command after confirming the following: a voice guidance is announced, a tone sounds, and
an icon on the screen changes from white to orange.
The command is spoken too slowly. Speak in a natural voice without pausing between
words.
The system prompt to say command again. Pronunciation is unclear. Speak clearly.
The command is spoken too late after the tone. Speak the command within 5 seconds after con- firming the following: a voice guidance is an-
nounced, a tone sounds, and an icon on the screen
changes from white to orange.
An improper command is spoken. Speak the command or a number that is displayed
in white on the screen.
Speak a command that is shown in the command
list.
The system does not correctly recognize a number
spoken. Many numbers are spoken at once.
Place a pause between the appropriate digits for
correct recognition by the system. When speaking a
telephone number, place a pause between area
codes, dial codes, etc.
