Infiniti InTouchTMuses an operating system like
those found on many computers, tablets and cell
phones. Like these devices, processing speed
may vary, and system response delays or resets
may occur intermittently. This does not indicate a
malfunction, and further information on system
operation can be found below.
System Start-Up
Due to the large number of features and capabili-
ties that the Infiniti InTouch
TMneeds to load on
start-up, it may take up to a minute for all func-
tions (such as Apps) to be available. The system
will display “Now Loading All Apps...” during this
time.
System Response Delay
Infiniti InTouch
TMuses an operating system like
those found on many computers, tablets and cell
phones. Like these devices, sometimes pro-
grams do not respond immediately and this may
temporarily delay system use.
In most situations, simply waiting a few moments
longer should be sufficient for the pending opera-
tions to complete.
If the system temporarily does not respond to
commands, the system can be easily reset. Sim-
ply push down the VOL/ON-OFF button for at
least 5 seconds. The system will turn off and
restart. After restart, all functions should be available.
If a navigation route was set, the route should
resume automatically.
System Reset
As noted above, intermittent system resets may
occur during normal operation. You may also
wish to reset the system if you find that a particu-
lar feature is not loading or responding. Often, a
quick system reset will resolve any issue you may
be experiencing. After restart, all functions will be
available as described above.
System Updates
Like many digital devices, the Infiniti InTouch
TMis
designed to allow for software updates as en-
hancements are developed and additional fea-
tures added. If you have questions about system
performance, it is recommended that you contact
an INFINITI retailer to ensure that your vehicle has
had the latest available software installed.
Operating Tips
Infiniti InTouch
TMprovides several methods of
operation to suit your preferences. The following
are suggested operating tips. ●
Operating the control panel, steering wheel
controls, or other controls too quickly can
cause a lag between the control and the
display. Operate the controls carefully and
allow the system to respond to your request.
● INFINITI recommends using Voice Recogni-
tion whenever possible to select options
while driving. Some touch screen function-
ality is intentionally unavailable during driv-
ing. Please view the available voice com-
mands by pushing the
(TALK) switch
and then selecting a category on the display.
● When looking for a street address or Points
of Interest (POI) , remember that you can use
Connected Search and Assisted Search
features within Infiniti InTouch
TMServices to
expand your search methods and results.
The Voice Recognition system recognizes a
defined set of commands. These commands
can be viewed in the display by pushing
the
(TALK) switch and then selecting
a category from the displayed list. The com-
mands can also be found in the Voice Rec-
ognition section under command list. For
additional information, refer to “Command
list” in this section.

●The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle
is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h).
Also, this system may not detect a sudden
drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire
while driving) .
● The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure
is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.
● The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warning
appears in the vehicle information display
when the low tire pressure warning light is
illuminated and low tire pressure is detected.
The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warning
turns off when the low tire pressure warning
light turns off.
● The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warning
appears each time the ignition switch is in
the ON position as long as the low tire
pressure warning light remains illuminated.
● The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS
malfunction. ●
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Do not reduce
the tire pressure after driving because the
tire pressure rises after driving. Low outside
temperature can lower the temperature of
the air inside the tire which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to illumi-
nate. If the warning light illuminates, check
the tire pressure for all four tires.
● The Tire and Loading Information label (also
referred to as the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label) is located in the
driver’s door opening.
● You can also check the pressure of all tires
(except the spare tire) on the vehicle infor-
mation display screen. The order of the tire
pressure figures displayed on the screen
corresponds with the actual order of the tire
position.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” and “Tire Pressure Low —
Add Air” in the “Instruments and controls” section
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)”
in the “In case of emergency” section of this
manual.WARNING
● Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufac-
turer for the possible influences before
use.
● If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the vehicle
as soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal in-
jury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible. (For additional information,
refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of
emergency” section for changing a flat
tire.)
