SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
When a cellular phone is operated to make
a call, the hands-free function becomes
unavailable. Some models of a cellular phone do not switch
to the hands-free mode when they are operated
to make a call. This is not a malfunction. Make another call using the
hands-free function.
The other party’s voice cannot be heard.
There is no ringtone. The volume level is set to the minimum. Adjust the volume level.
A cellular phone is not connected.
Check the registration procedure, and then register
the cellular phone again.
Each volume level (ringtone, incoming voice
or outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between
the touch screen display and a cellular
phone screen. Making or receiving a call is
unavailable even though the antenna dis-
play shows that it is possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the
model of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna
display and remaining battery level shown on the
touch screen display may be different from those
shown on the cellular phone screen. Use them as a
reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using
a cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or
completely shut out radio waves that are used
for cellular phones. Move to a place without tall buildings.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads,
high voltage electric power cables, traffic
signals, neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from
radio devices may adversely affect the cellular
phone.
This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio
system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular
phone may adversely affect the sound from the
audio system. This is not a malfunction.
Sound skips or stutters. The cellular phone may have turned on the
wireless LAN (Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).

MAP SCREEN
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between 2D and 3D view. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too cluttered.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations
may be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing
on the screen may be different because of a processing
procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The location of the vehicle icon is
misaligned from the actual position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was
placed in the OFF position, for example, by a ferry or car
transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a
road where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be
incorrect depending on the driving environments and the
levels of positioning accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a period of time to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 6-39)
Driving with tire chains or tires that have been replaced
may result in an incorrect vehicle location display due to
miscalculation by the speed sensor. Drive the vehicle for a period of time (at
approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) for about
30 minutes) to automatically correct the
vehicle icon position.
If this does not correct the vehicle icon
position, it is recommended you contact an
INFINITI retailer.
The map data has a mistake or is incomplete (the vehicle
icon position is always misaligned in the same area). Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
“How to update map data” (page 6-45)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new
road, the vehicle icon is located on
another road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the
system automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest
road available. Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.

“Traffic information on map” (page 6-25)
The suggested detour route does not
avoid congested areas. There is no faster route compared to the current
route, based on the road network and the traffic
information. The automatic detour search is not intended for
avoiding traffic jams. It searches for the fastest route
taking conditions such as traffic jams into considera-
tion. Follow the current route.
“Notes on SiriusXM TrafficTMinformation”
(page 6-23)
The route does not avoid a road
section with traffic information stat-
ing that it is closed due to road
construction. The navigation system is designed not to avoid this
event because the actual period of closure may differ
from the declared roadwork period.
Observe the actual road conditions and follow the
instructions on the road for a detour when necessary.
If the road is closed, use the detour function and set
the detour distance to avoid the road section that is
closed.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The system does not correctly recognize a
number spoken. Too many numbers are spoken at once. Place a pause between the appropriate digits for
correct recognition by the system. When
speaking a telephone number, place a pause
between area codes, dial codes, etc.
USB memory device cannot be operated with
voice commands. Depending on the device, iPhone® or iPod® may
be recognized as a USB memory device.This is not a malfunction.
The USB/iPod® operation screen is grayed out. The audio device is not connected. Connect an audio device to the system.
An error message is displayed when trying to
select a track and operate USB/iPod®. The track information is being processed for
registration by the system.Song information will be loaded into the system
when a new audio device is registered for the
first time or when the song information in the
pre-registered device has been changed. Wait
for the loading to complete which may take a
few minutes to up to an hour.
A number of songs exceeding the amount the
device can contain are stored in the connected
audio device. Decrease the number of songs stored in the
audio device.
No song is stored in the audio device. Store songs in the connected audio device.
Storing songs with information such as artist
name, album name, song name, playlist, etc., will
make voice recognition song search available.
The system does not correctly recognize a Point
of Interest (POI) name spoken (models with
navigation system). There are some rare cases where a POI search is
unavailable by speaking the facility name but the
location can be found on the map.This is not a malfunction. Consider using an
alternate search method, like street address.
Partial or alias name is spoken. For best results, speak the full name.
