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.

WARNING!
. Use a phone after stopping your vehicle
in a safe location. If you have to use a
phone while driving, exercise extreme
caution at all times so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
. If you find yourself unable to devote full
attention to vehicle operation while
talking on the phone, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop your vehicle
before doing so.
CAUTION!
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use a
phone after starting the engine or the hybrid
system.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an
owner of a compatible Bluetooth®enabled
cellular phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone
and the in-vehicle phone module. With Bluetooth
®wireless technology, you can
make or receive a telephone call with your
cellular phone in your pocket.
Once a cellular phone is connected to the
in-vehicle phone module, the procedure for
connecting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone is automati-
cally selected with the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is pushed
to the “ON”position with the selected
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Blue-
tooth
®cellular phones in the in-vehicle
phone module. However, you can talk on
only one cellular phone at a time.
The Voice Recognition system supports
phone commands, so dialing a phone
number using your voice is possible.
“10. Voice recognition”
Before using the Bluetooth®Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes.
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
®
functions share the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth®
and the wireless LAN functions at the
same time may slow down or discon-
nect the communication and cause undesired noise. It is recommended
that you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-
Fi) when using the Bluetooth
®func-
tions.
. Set up the wireless connection between
a compatible cellular phone and the in-
vehicle phone module before using the
Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth
®enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module.
Please visit www.infinitiusa.com/blue-
tooth/search for a recommended
phone list.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
—
Your vehicle is outside of the telephone
service area.
—Your vehicle is in an area where it isdifficult to receive radio waves; such as
in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, behind a tall building or in a
mountainous area.
—Your cellular phone is locked in order toprevent dialing.
