battery INFINITI QX60-HYBRID 2017 Repair Manual

●This Bluetooth® system supports Wide-
band speech, which enhances the sound
quality of phone calls placed over
Bluetooth®. To take advantage of this fea-
ture, the cellular device should be used on a
carrier supporting Adaptive MultiRate Wide-
band (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 connection.
● 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 connection
disruption.
● While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth® wireless connection, 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 trouble-
shooting 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 cellular
phone for information regarding the tele-
phone pairing procedure specific to your
phone, battery charging , and cellular phone
antenna, etc.
● The antenna display on the monitor may not
match the antenna display of some cellular
phones.
● The battery display on the monitor may not
match the battery display of some cellular
phones.
● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to her the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize echoes.
● If reception between callers is unclear, ad-
justing the incoming or outgoing call volume
may improve the clarity.REGULATORY INFORMATION

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visualand audible signals outside the vehicle to help
you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD
tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever into the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not start the hybrid system.
Operation: 1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the hazard indica-
tors stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. ●If the tire is over-inflated more than ap-
proximately 4 psi (30 kPa) , the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure, push
the core of the valve stem on the tire
briefly to release pressure. When the
pressure reaches the designated pres-
sure, the horn beeps once. ●
If the hazard indicator does not flash
within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates that
the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is
not operating.
● The TPMS will not activate the TPMS with
Tire Inflation Indicator under the following
conditions:
– If there is interference from an external device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
–
There is a malfunction in the TPMS system.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or haz- ard indicators.
– The identification code of the tire pres- sure sensor is not registered to the sys-
tem.
– The battery of the tire pressure sensor is low.
● If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
does not operate due to TPMS interfer-
ence, move the vehicle about 3 ft (1 m)
backward or forward and try again.
If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is not
working, use a tire pressure gauge.
