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.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an
owner of a 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 your cellular phone is paired to the
in-vehicle phone module, no phone con-
necting procedure is required. Your phone
is automatically connected with the in-
vehicle phone module when the ignition
switch is pushed to the
“ON”position with
the registered 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.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located in the ceiling in front
of the RearView mirror) are used for the
handsfree communications.
If the audio system is being used at the
time, the audio mode will mute and will
stay muted until the active call is ended.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system
supports the phone commands, so dialing
a phone number using your voice is
possible.
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 cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Blue-
tooth
®Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth®enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the tele-
phone service area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is
difficult to receive radio waves; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground
parking garage, behind a tall build-
ing or in a mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locked in
order not to be dialed.
. When the radio wave condition is not
ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it
may be difficult to hear the other
person’s voice during a call.

starting the engine when the Intelligent
Key is within the specified operating range.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged or strong radio waves are
present near the operating location, the

range, it is possible for anyone, even
someone who does not carry the IntelligentKey, to push the ignition switch to start the
engine.
