BLUETOOTH® STREAMING
AUDIO
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Streaming Audio.
If you have a compatible Bluetooth® device
with streaming audio (A2DP profile), you
can set up a wireless connection between
your Bluetooth® device and the in-vehicle
audio system. This connection allows you to
listen to the audio from the Bluetooth®
device using your vehicle speakers. It also
may allow basic control of the device for
playing and skipping audio files using the
AVRCP Bluetooth® profile. Not all Blue-
tooth® devices have the same level of
controls for AVRCP. Please consult the
manual for your Bluetooth® device for more
details.
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 disconnect the commu-
nication and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth®
functions.

PHONE SYSTEM
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 compatible Bluetooth® enabled
cellular phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone and
the in-vehicle phone module. With Blue- tooth® 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 automati-
cally selected with the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is pushed
to the “ON” position with the selected
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.
The Voice Recognition system supports
phone commands, so dialing a phone number
using your voice is possible.“10. Voice recognition”

Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or
disconnect the communication and cause undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
when using the Bluetooth® functions.
. 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/blue-
tooth/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 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 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
