TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY
Touch screen display is located at the center of the instrument panel.
The touch screen display consists of two screens; the Main screen and the Widget screen. For
models with navigation system, a full-size map screen can also be displayed on the entire
space of the display while using the navigation system.
“Map types” (page 6-3)
The layout and the items displayed on the screen may vary depending on the models,
specifications and software versions.
Example
Main screen:
Functions such as navigation system (if
so equipped), audio system, Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System, Voice Re-
cognition System, etc., can be viewed
and operated on this screen.
Widget screen:
Widgets such as information/status of
navigation (if so equipped), audio,
weather, clock, etc., can be displayed
on this screen.
The type of Widget can be selected
from the settings screen.
“System settings” (page 2-14)
Liquid crystal display
The touch screen display is a liquid crystal
display and should be handled with care.
WARNING
Never disassemble the display. Some
parts utilize extremely high voltage.
Touching them may result in serious
personal injury.
Characteristics of liquid crystal display: . If the temperature inside the vehicle is
especially low, the display will stay
relatively dim or the movement of the
images may be slow. These conditions
are normal. The display will function
normally when the interior of the vehicle
has warmed up.
2. Getting started

2. Getting started
.If the temperature inside the vehicle is
especially high, the display may become
dim. This occurs to protect the display
and is not a malfunction. The brightness
will turn to normal when the temperature
inside the vehicle lowers.
. Some pixels in the display are darker or
brighter than others. This condition is an
inherent characteristic of liquid crystal
displays, and it is not a malfunction.
. A remnant of the previous display image
may remain on the screen. This screen
burn is inherent in liquid crystal displays,
and it is not a malfunction.
. The screen may become distorted by
strong magnetic fields.
. Depending on the condition, brightness
may be adjusted automatically to pre-
vent the display from screen burning.
Maintenance of display:
To clean the display screen, use a dry, soft
cloth. If additional cleaning is necessary, use
a small amount of neutral detergent with a
soft cloth. Never spray the screen with
water or detergent. Dampen the cloth first,
then wipe the screen.
CAUTION
. Clean the display with the ignition
switch in the OFF position. If the
display is cleaned while the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position,
unintentional operation may occur.
. To clean the display, never use a
rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner
or any kind of solvent or paper towel
with a chemical cleaning agent. They
will scratch or deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid, such as
water or car fragrance, on the display.
Contact with liquid will cause the
system to malfunction.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) CON-
NECTION PORTS
WARNING
Do not connect, disconnect or operate the
USB device while driving. Doing so can be
a distraction. If distracted you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an
accident or serious injury.
CAUTION
.Do not force the USB device into the
USB connection port. Depending on
the USB connection port, inserting
the USB device tilted or upside down
may damage the port. Make sure that
the USB device is connected correctly
into the USB connection port.
. Do not grab the USB connection port
cover (if so equipped) when pulling
the USB device out of the port. This
could damage the port and the cover.
. Do not leave the USB cable in a place
where it can be pulled unintentionally.
Pulling the cable may damage the
port.
The vehicle is equipped with the USB con-
nection ports. When connected, the in-
vehicle audio system can play audio contents
from the compatible device.
The USB connection ports are located on the
lower part of the instrument panel.

Enabling operations by front seat
passenger (if so equipped)
WARNING

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
HD Radio Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts.
“Radio Menu” (page 3-12)
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 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.
SiriusXM® services require a subscription
after trial period and are sold separately or
as a package. The satellite service is avail-
able only in the 48 contiguous USA and DC.
SiriusXM® satellite service is also available in Canada; see www.siriusxm.ca.
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.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) CON-
NECTION PORT
WARNING
Do not connect, disconnect or operate the
USB device while driving. Doing so can be
a distraction. If distracted you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an
accident or serious injury.

Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes. . Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
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. If the system
seems to be malfunctioning or not con-
necting to the phone, contact an
INFINITI retailer or visit the website
below for a recommended phone list
and troubleshooting help.
