easily when operating the heater or air con-
ditioner.AUDIO OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
•The driver must not attempt to operate
the audio system while the vehicle is in
motion, so that full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
•Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before operat-
ing the audio system and playing movies
(if equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the
audio system for extended periods of
time with the engine turned off can dis-
charge the vehicle battery.
•Do not allow the system to get wet. Ex-
cessive moisture such as spilled liquids
may cause the system to malfunction.
Radio
Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio when the engine is not
running, the ignition switch should be pushed
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other ex-
ternal influences. Intermittent changes in re-
ception quality are normally 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 designed to ex-
tend 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 best quality equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are com-
pletely normal in a given reception area, and
do not indicate any malfunction in your radio
system.

•Only use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you have to
use a phone while driving, exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion 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 in
a safe location and stop your vehicle be-
fore doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, only
use a phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a 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 automatically
selected by the in-vehicle phone module
when the ignition switch is switched to the
ON position with the selected cellular phone
turned on and carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth®
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule. However, you can talk on only one cellu-
lar phone at a time.
The Voice Recognition system supports
phone commands, so dialing a phone number
using your voice is possible.
See "INFINITI Voice Recognition system"
later in this section
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 wire-
less LAN functions at the same time may
slow down or disrupt communications and
could cause undesired noise. It is recom-
mended that you turn wireless LAN (Wi-
Fi) off 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/bluetooth and
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 the service area for your cellular phone network.
– 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 building or in a
mountainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked in order to prevent dialing.
•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.
•This Bluetooth® system supports Wide-
band speech, which enhances the sound
quality of phone calls placed over
Bluetooth®. To take advantage of this
feature, the cellular device should be used
on a carrier supporting Adaptive Multi-
Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) or HD voice
technology. The performance of
AMR-WB may vary by carrier and calling
area. Consult your cellular carrier if you experience issues with call quality or con-
nection.
•Immediately after the ignition switch is
turned ON, it may be impossible to receive
a call for a short period of time.
•Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connec-
tion disruption.
•While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth® wireless connec-
tion, the battery of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual.
•If the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem seems to be malfunctioning, please
visit www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth for
troubleshooting help.
•Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to be
emitted from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
•Refer to the owner's manual for the cellu-
lar phone for information regarding the
telephone pairing procedure specific to
your phone, battery charging, and cellular
phone antenna, etc.
