ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFOR-
MATION
Infiniti InTouchTMuses an operating system
like those found on many computers, tablets
and cellular phones. Like these devices,
processing speed may vary, and system
response delays or resets may occur inter-
mittently. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion, 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 InTouch
TMsys-
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.
System Response Delay
Infiniti InTouch
TMuses an operating system
like those found on many computers, tablets
and cellular phones. Like these devices,
sometimes programs do not respond imme-
diately 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.
2. Getting started
2-33

2. Getting started
If the system temporarily does not respond
to commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down/ >on the audio system for at least 5
seconds. The system will turn off and restart.
After restart, all functions should be avail-
able.
Models with navigation system:
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 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
The Infiniti InTouch
TMsystem is designed to
allow software updates for additional en-
hancements and new features. If you have
questions about system performance, con-
tact your retailer to ensure that your vehicle
has had the latest available software in-
stalled. Operating Tips
Infiniti InTouch
TMprovides several methods
of operation to suit your preferences. The
following are suggested operating tips.
. Operating the INFINITI controller (if so
equipped), control panel (if so equipped),
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 whenever possible to select
options while driving. Some touch screen
functionality is intentionally unavailable
during driving. Please view the available
voice commands by pushing <
>on
the steering wheel and then selecting a
category on the display.
. Models with navigation system:
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
<
>on the steering wheel
and then selecting a category from the
displayed list. The commands can also be
found in this manual.
“Command list” (page 7-7)
. 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.

(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External 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.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to
reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can bounce
off the ionosphere and be bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics, AM
signals are also subject to interference as
they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception
(for U.S.)
HD RadioTMTechnology reception needs to
be activated to receive HD Radio broad-
casts.
“Audio settings” (page 3-40)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available), providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When
this feature is not activated or HD Radio
broadcasts are not available, you will receive analog radio (AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the vehicle battery (12V battery) has
been replaced, the satellite radio may not
work properly. This is not a malfunction.
Wait more than 10 minutes with the satellite
radio ON and the vehicle outside of any
metal or large building for the satellite radio
to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The
satellite service is available only to those at
least 18 and older in the 48 contiguous
United States and DC.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

(MP3/WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms
.MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well known compressed digital
audio file format. This format allows for
near “CD quality” sound, but at a fraction
of the size of normal audio files. MP3
conversion of an audio track can reduce
the file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio
(Sampling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps)
with virtually no perceptible loss in
quality. The compression reduces certain
parts of sound that seem inaudible to
most people.
. WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)
is a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when com-
pared to MP3s at the same level of
quality.
This product is protected by certain
intellectual property rights of Microsoft
Corporation and third parties. Use or distribution of such technology outside
of this product is prohibited without a
license from Microsoft or an authorized
Microsoft subsidiary and third parties.
. AAC — Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is
a compressed audio format. AAC offers
greater file compression than MP3 and
enables music file creation and storage
at the same quality as MP3.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music
file. The size and quality of a compressed
digital audio file is determined by the bit
rate used when encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is
the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA
file that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title, artist,
album title, encoding bit rate, track time
