USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed
before the initialization completes the display
will show the message: “Phonetic data down-
loaded. Please wait.” or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance from INFINITI Voice
Recognition, 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.

The Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system/Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) sys-
tem will operate when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) and
above, and when it is traveling close to either
the left or the right of a traveling lane.
Each system functions as follows:
●Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system —
warns the driver by a warning light and
chime.
● Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system —
warns the driver by a warning light and
chime, and helps assist the driver to return
the vehicle to the center direction of the
traveling lane by applying brake control to
the left or right wheels individually (for a
short period of time). The LDW and LDP systems monitor the lane
markers on the traveling lane using the camera
unit
1located above the inside mirror. When
the camera unit detects that the vehicle is
traveling close to either the left or the right of
the traveling lane, the lane departure warning
light
2on the instrument panel blinks in
orange and a warning chime sounds. When the
LDP system is on, it will automatically apply the
brakes for a short period of time, using the
function of the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system.
To turn on the LDW system, push the LDW
switch
3. The LDW ON indicator light4on the
switch will illuminate.
When the LDW switch is pushed, the FCW
system will also turn on or off simultaneously.
See “FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
SYSTEM” later in this section.
To turn on the LDP system, push the LDP switch
5. The LDP ON indicator light2will illumi-
nate in green.

LDW system operation
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) and
above. When the vehicle approaches either the
left or the right side of the traveling lane, a
warning chime will sound and the lane depar-
ture warning light (orange) on the instrument
panel will blink to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the vehicle
returns inside of the lane markers.
When you operate the lane change signal and
change traveling lanes in the direction of the
signal, the LDW system temporarily suspends
operation. It will become operable again ap-
proximately 2 seconds after the lane change
signal is turned off.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h), the LDW
system will not provide a warning.
The LDW system has an automatic setting mode
and a manual setting mode. The setting mode
can be changed. In the automatic setting mode,
the LDW system is automatically turned on
when the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position. When the LDW system is on, the LDW
ON indicator
1on the LDW switch illuminates.
To cancel the LDW system, push the LDW switch. The LDW ON indicator will turn off. To
turn on the system, push the LDW switch again.
In the manual setting mode, you need to push
the LDW switch to turn on the system after the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON position.
The setting mode can be changed using the
LDW switch. To change the setting mode, push
and hold the LDW switch for more than 4
seconds when the LDW ON indicator is off.
When the mode is changed, a chime sounds
and the lane departure warning light (orange)
flashes.
Temporary disabled status at high
temperature
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104°F (40°C) and then started, the LDW
system may be deactivated automatically. The
LDW ON indicator on the switch will flash.
When the interior temperature is reduced, the
LDW system will resume operating automati-
cally and the LDW ON indicator will stop flash-
ing.

LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM
Precautions on LDP system
WARNING
●The LDP system will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of vehicle at all times.
● The LDP system is primarily intended for use
on well-developed freeways or highways. It
may not detect the lane markers in certain
roads, weather or driving conditions.
● Using the LDP system under some condi-
tions of road, lane marker or weather, or
when you change lanes without using the
lane change signal could lead to an unex-
pected system operation. In such condi-
tions, you need to correct the vehicle’s direc-
tion with your steering operation to avoid
accidents.
● When the LDP system is operating, avoid
excessive or sudden steering maneuvers.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the
vehicle. ●
The LDP system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) or if
it cannot detect lane markers.
● The LDP system may not function properly
under the following conditions, and do not
use the LDP system:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire condi- tions (for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non- original brake parts or suspension parts. ●
If the LDP system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically. The lane departure warning
light (orange) on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
● If the lane departure warning light (orange)
illuminates, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle. Turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the warning light
(orange) continues to illuminate, have the
LDP system checked by an INFINITI retailer.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
The functions of the LDP system (warning and
brake control assist) may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where discontinued lane markers
are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.
● On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,

wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDP system could detect
these items as lane markers.)
● On roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates.
● When the vehicle’s traveling direction does
not align with the lane marker.
● When traveling close to the vehicle in front
of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit
detection range.
● When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windshield in front of the lane camera unit.
● When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
● When strong light enters the lane camera
unit. (For example, the light directly shines
on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
● When a sudden change in brightness occurs.
(For example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a bridge.) While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the LDP system is operating
properly.
LDP system operation
The LDP system provides a lane departure warning
and brake control assistance when the vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 45 MPH (72
km/h) and above. When the vehicle approaches
either the left or the right side of the traveling lane,
a warning chime will sound and the lane departure
warning light (orange) on the instrument panel will
blink to alert the driver. Then, the LDP system will
automatically apply the brakes for a short period of
time to help assist the driver to return the vehicle
to the center of the traveling lane.
The warning and assist functions will stop when
the vehicle returns to a position inside of the lane
marker.
