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 ve-
hicle operation.
● If you find yourself unable to devote full at-
tention 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 INFINITI 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 Bluetooth wireless tech-
nology, 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, no phone connecting
procedure is required anymore. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle phone module when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position with the registered
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular
phone at a time.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system supports
the phone commands, so dialing a phone num-
ber using your voice is possible. For more
details, see “INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM (models with navigation system)” later in
this section; page 4-109.
Before using the Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
● 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 for a recom-
mended phone list. ●
You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the telephone 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 ga-
rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked in order not to be dialed.
● 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.
● Immediately after the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position, it may be impos-
sible 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 connection
disruption.
● While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth wireless connection, the bat-
tery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual.

You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular
phone at a time.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located in the ceiling in front of the
rearview mirror) are used for the handsfree
communications.
If the audio system is being used at the time,
the audio mode will mute and will stay muted
until the active call is ended.

VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM
You can also use the Bluetoothhands-free
phone system with Voice Recognition System.
INFO
● The available voice commands are only ap-
plicable to the relevant language set in the
LANGUAGE setting screen. (See “HOW TO
USE SETTING BUTTON” earlier in this sec-
tion.)
● If the vehicle is in motion, some commands
may not be available so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
Using system
Initialization :
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, Voice Recognition System is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the
switch on the steering
wheel is pushed before the initialization com-
pletes, the system will not accept any com-
mand. Before starting :
To get the best performance out of the Voice
Recognition System, observe the following:
●
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
● Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
● Speak a voice command within 5 seconds
after the beep sound. If no voice command is
given, the system will ask you for a number.
If no further command is given, the session
ends.
● Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words. Giving voice command:
1. Push and release theswitch located
on the steering wheel.

●Callback
Use the Callback command to dial the last
incoming call.
● Help
The system announces the available com-
mands.
Connect Phone
● Add Phone
Use the Pair Phone command to connect a
compatible phone to the Bluetooth Hands-
Free Phone System.
When asked to enter a PIN code to connect a
Bluetooth cellular phone, enter the code
“1234”.
The code is always “1234” regardless of the
number of phones connected. Up to 5 phones
can be connected. If the user tries to connect a
sixth phone, the system announces that the
user must first delete one phone or replace an
existing phone. If the user tries to connect a
phone that has already been connected to the vehicle system, the system announces the
name that the phone is already using. The
connecting procedure will then be cancelled.
The Add Phone command is not available when
the vehicle is moving.
●
Select Phone
Use the Select Phone command to select a
phone of lesser priority when two or more
phones connected with Bluetooth Hands-
Free Phone System are in the vehicle at the
same time.
The system asks the user to name the phone
and confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the selected
phone remains active until the ignition
switch is turned OFF or a new phone is
selected.
● Delete Phone
Use the Delete Phone command to delete a
specific phone or all phones from
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System. The
system announces the names of the phones
already paired with the system and their
priority level. The system then gives the
option to delete a specific phone, all phones
or listen to the list again. Once the user
chooses to delete a phone or all phones, the
system asks the user to confirm.

The voice adaptation mode will stop if:
●The
button is pressed in voice adap-
tation mode.
● The vehicle is driven during voice adaptation
mode.
● The ignition switch is turned to the OFF or
LOCK position. INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information
and Audio systems in one of two modes, Stan-
dard Mode or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, commands that are available
are always shown on the display and an-
nounced by the system. You can complete your
desired operation by simply following the
prompts given by the system. (See “INFINITI
VOICE RECOGNITION STANDARD MODE” later in
this section for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the Alter-
nate Command Mode. (See “INFINITI VOICE REC-
OGNITION ALTERNATE COMMAND MODE” later
in this section for details.) When this mode is
active, an expanded list of commands can be
spoken after pushing the TALK
switch,
and the voice command menu prompts are
turned off. Review the expanded command list,
which is available when this mode is active.
Note that in this mode the recognition success
rate may be affected as the number of available
commands and the ways of speaking each
command are increased.
To switch one mode to another, see each mode
description later in this section.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using
the Speaker Adaptation Function available in that mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
STANDARD MODE
The following section is applicable when the
Standard Mode is activated.
The Standard Mode enables you to complete
the desired operation by simply following the
prompts that appear on the display and also are
announced by the system.
