MATION
Infiniti InTouchTMuses an operating system
like those found on many computers, tablets
and cell phones. Like these devices, proces-
sing 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
capabilities that the Infiniti InTouchTMsys-
tem needs to load on start-up, it may take up
to a minute for all functions (such as Apps)
to be available. The system will display “Now
Loading All Apps...” during this time. During
the start-up period, hard button controls for
audio and climate will become available
before start-up is complete. Features will
become available in the following order:
. Climate Control hard buttons
. Audio volume and music playback
. Audio & Climate Full Screen Access
. Full App Availability - System will display
“Loading Completed”
SYSTEM RESPONSE DELAY
Infiniti InTouchTMuses an operating system
like those found on many computers, tablets
and cell phones. Like these devices, some-
times programs 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 operations to complete.
If the system temporarily does not respond
to commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down the Audio Power knob for
at least 5 seconds. The system will turn off
and restart.
After restart, all functions should be avail-
able.
. Audio will resume, but if you were using
Bluetooth® Audio or an Audio App, the
connection may need to be re-estab-
lished.
. If a navigation route was set, the route
should resume automatically.
. If a phone call was in progress, the call
may be temporarily transferred back to
the handset.

2. Getting Started
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 particular feature is not loading or re-
sponding. 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 In-
TouchTMsystem is designed to allow for
software updates as enhancements are
developed and additional features added. If
you have questions about system perfor-
mance, contact your retailer to ensure that
your vehicle has had the latest available
software installed.
OPERATING TIPS
Infiniti InTouchTMprovides several methods
of operation to suit your preferences. The
following are suggested operating tips.
. Operating the INFINITI Controller,
Steering Wheel Controls, or other con-
trols 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 re-
cognition when ever possible to select
options while driving. Some touch screen
functionality is intentionally unavailable
during driving. Please view the available
voice commands 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
Destination Assistance features within
Infiniti InTouch
TMServices to expand
your search methods and results. The
Voice Recognition system recognizes a
defined set of commands. These com-
mands can be viewed in the display by
pushing the <
>(TALK) switch and
then selecting a category from the dis-
played list. The commands can also be
found in the Voice recognition section
under
“Command list” (page 10-7).
. In some situations, the system may not
be able to recognize your command even
if you say the exact command. This can
be due to noise conditions or an accent. .
In some unique cases, the system may
expect a word to be spoken as it is
spelled as opposed to the way it is
normally pronounced.
. Bluetooth® Compatibility: Some wire-
less devices do not allow phonebook
downloads, text messaging, or other
Bluetooth® audio functions. Some wire-
less devices may only have partial func-
tionality of these features even though
the phone is compatible for hands-free
communication. If your phone is listed as
compatible and you are still experiencing
issues, please confirm that your phone
also has the latest software updates.
