O ªSend/Enter/Call/Dialº Ð Use the
Send command to enter numbers dur-
ing a call. For example, if you were di-
rected to dial an extension by an auto-
mated system:
Say: ªSend one two three four.º
The system acknowledges the com-
mand and sends the tones associated
with the numbers. The system then
ends the VR session and returns to
the call.
O ªTransfer callº Ð Use the Transfer Call
command to transfer the call from the
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System
to the cellular phone when privacy is
desired.
The system announces, ªTransfer call.
Call transferred to privacy mode.º The
system then ends the VR session.
You can also issue the Transfer Call
command again to return to a hands-
free call through the vehicle.
O ªMuteº Ð Use the Mute command to
mute your voice so the other party
cannot hear it. Use the mute command
again to unmute your voice. NOTE:
If the other party ends the call or the cellu-
lar phone network connection is lost while
the Mute feature is on, the Mute feature
may need to be reset to ªoff.º
ªPhone bookº
The Phone Book stores up to 40 names for
each phone paired with the system. Each
name can have up to 4 locations/phone
numbers associated with it.
NOTE:
Each phone has its own separate phone
book. You cannot access Phone A's phone
book if you are currently connected with
Phone B.
ªNew entryº
q A
Use the New Entry command to store a
new name in the system. When prompted by the system, say the
name you would like to give the new
entry.
For example, say: ªMary.º
If the name is too long or too short, the
system tells you, then prompts you for a
name again.
Also, if the name sounds too much like a
name already stored, the system tells
you, then prompts you for a name again.
Once the system accepts the name and
you confirm it is correct, the system asks
for a location (Home, Office, Mobile or
Other).
For example, say: ªHome.º
The system acknowledges the location
and asks for a number.
For example, say: ªfive five five one
two one two.º See ªHow to say num-
bersº earlier in this section for more
information.
The system repeats the number and
prompts you for the next command. When
you have finished entering numbers,
choose ªStore.º

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously illu-
minated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the in-
stallation of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
Additional information
O The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
O The TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not de- tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving).
O Tire pressure rises and falls de-
pending on the heat caused by the ve-
hicle's operation and the outside tem-
perature. Low outside temperature can
lower the temperature of the air inside
the tire which can cause a lower tire
inflation pressure. This may cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. If the warning light illuminates
in low ambient temperature, check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see ªLow tire
pressure warning lightº in the ª2. Instru-
ments and controlsº section and ªTire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)º in
the ª6. In case of emergencyº section.
WARNING O If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce ve-
hicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could re-
sult in serious personal injury. Check the
tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the
tire pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn the low
tire pressure warning light OFF. If you have
a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as
soon as possible. (See ªFlat tireº in the ª6.
In case of emergencyº section for changing
a flat tire.)
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.

Up-shift indicator The manual transmission up-shift indi-
cator is located in the meter and shows
the driver the timing to shift into a higher
gear by illuminating. The use of the up-
shift indicator will help you to upshift at a
constant engine speed (rpm) from any
gear.
The up-shift indicator will start flashing
when the engine speed is within about
500 rpm of the set figure while driving,
and then illuminate after the engine
speed reaches the set figure. Use the up-shift indicator when driving as
follows:
O If the maximum engine speed is de-
sired, set the figure at 7,000 rpm. (The
indicator starts flashing from about
6,500 rpm and comes on steady at
7,000 rpm.)
O If the maximum engine torque is de-
sired, set the figure at 4,800 rpm.
(The indicator starts flashing from
about 4,300 rpm and comes on steady
at 4,800 rpm.)
O If you want to break in your vehicle,
use of the up-shift indicator with a
rather low figure will help you to avoid
the high engine speed.
To make the up-shift indicator not come
on, set the figure at above 7,900 rpm.
There may be a slight difference between
the timing of the up-shift indicator illumi-
nation and the tachometer indication. Up-shift indicator setting:
The desired engine speed (rpm) for the
up-shift indicator can be set while the up-
shift indicator setting mode is selected.
Change the display to the up-shift indica-
tor mode by pushing the trip odometer
reset switch
q 1
. When the up-shift indica-
tor setting mode is selected, the engine
speed currently set is displayed. (The ini-
tial factory setting is 8,000 rpm.) The fig-
ure can be changed between 2,000 and
8,000 rpm.SSD0432 SSD0433

Push the trip odometer reset switch more
than approximately 2 seconds and then
the figure in the display will start
blinking.
Pushing the trip odometer reset switch for
less than approximately 1 second while
the figure is blinking will add the figure
by 100 rpm. If pushing for more than ap-
proximately 1 second, the figure will in-
crease by 500 rpm.
If you have not operated the trip odom-
eter reset switch for 5 seconds, the set-
ting mode will end. The display will illumi-
nate instead of blink.
If the battery cable is disconnected, the
set engine speed will be returned to the
initial figure (8,000 rpm).
Suggested up-shift speeds Shown below are suggested vehicle
speeds for shifting into a higher gear.
These suggestions relate to fuel economy
and vehicle performance. Actual up-shift
speeds will vary according to road condi-
tions, the weather and individual driving
habits. For normal acceleration in low altitude ar-
eas [less than 4,000 ft (1,219 m)]:

such as flat tires, out-of-gas, dead battery,
lost keys, mechanical breakdown,
accident, etc. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) This vehicle is equipped with the tire pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS). It monitors
tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
When the low tire pressure warning light is
lit, or flashing continuously one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. If
the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn
you of it by the low tire pressure warning
light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). For more details, refer to
ªWarning/indicator lights and audible re-
mindersº in the ª2. Instruments and con-
trolsº section and ªTire pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS)º in the ª5. Starting
and drivingº section.
WARNING O If the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious per-
sonal injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
to turn the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the
low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O
Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire
sealant into the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.

tionsº in the ª9. Technical and consumer
informationº section for recommended
types and sizes of tires and wheels.
WARNINGO The use of tires other than those recom-
mended or the mixed use of tires of dif-
ferent brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted or radial), or tread patterns can ad-
versely affect the ride, braking, handling,
ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance,
tire chain clearance, speedometer calibra-
tion, headlight aim and bumper height.
Some of these effects may lead to accidents
and could result in serious personal injury.
O If the wheels are changed for any reason,
always replace with wheels which have
the same off-set dimension. Wheels of a
different off-set could cause premature
tire wear, degrade vehicle handling char-
acteristics and/or interference with the
brake discs. Such interference can lead
to decreased braking efficiency and/or
early brake pad wear.
O When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be indi-
cated, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash.
Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or sys-
tem resetting.
O Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
O Do not install a deformed wheel or tire
even if it has been repaired. Such wheels
or tires could have structural damage
and could malfunction without warning.
O The use of retread tires is not recom-
mended.
O For additional information regarding tires,
refer to ªImportant Tire Safety Informationº
(US) or ªTire Safety Informationº (Canada)
in the Warranty Information Booklet.
CAUTION Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or ra-
dial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tires on the front and
rear axles which will cause excessive tire
wear and may damage the transmission,
transfer case and differential gears (AWD
models).
Wheel balance Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle han-
dling and tire life. Even with regular use,
wheels can get out of balance. Therefore,
they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to transmission damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to ªImportant Tire Safety Informa-
tionº (US) or ªTire Safety Informationº
(Canada) in the INFINITI Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.
Care of wheels O Wash the wheels when washing the
vehicle to maintain their appearance.
O Clean the inner side of the wheels
when the wheel is changed or the un-
derside of the vehicle is washed.

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) should never be tested using a two
wheel dynamometer (such as the dyna-
mometers used by some states for emis-
sions testing), or similar equipment. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel
that your vehicle is equipped with AWD
before it is placed on a dynamometer. Us-
ing the wrong test equipment may result
in transmission damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal in-
jury.
Due to legal requirements in some states/
areas, your vehicle may be required to be
in what is called the ªready conditionº for
an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of
the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the ªready conditionº
when it is driven through certain driving
patterns. Usually, the ªready conditionº
can be obtained by ordinary usage of the
vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is re-
paired or the battery is disconnected, the
vehicle may be reset to a not ªready con-
ditionº. Before taking the I/M test, check
the vehicle's inspection/maintenance test
readiness condition. Turn the ignition switch ON without starting the engine. If
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
comes on steady for 20 seconds and then
blinks for 10 seconds, the I/M test condi-
tion is ªnot readyº. If the MIL does not
blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condi-
tion is ªreadyº. If the MIL indicates the
vehicle is in a ªnot readyº condition, drive
the vehicle through the following pattern
to set the vehicle to the ready condition.
If you cannot or do not want to perform
the driving pattern, an INFINITI dealer can
conduct it for you.
WARNING Always drive the vehicle in a safe and pru-
dent manner according to traffic conditions
and obey all traffic laws.
1. Start the engine. Allow the engine to
idle until the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge needle points between the
C and H (normal operating tempera-
ture).
2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88
km/h), then quickly release the accel-
erator pedal completely and keep it re-
leased for at least 10 seconds. 3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal
for a moment, then drive the vehicle at
a speed of 53 to 60 MPH (86 to 96
km/h) for at least 9 minutes.
4. Stop the vehicle. Leave the engine
running.
5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55
km/h) and maintain the speed for 20
seconds.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 at least 10 times.
7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88
km/h) and maintain the speed for at
least 3 minutes.
8. Stop the vehicle. Place the automatic
transmission selector lever in the ªPº
or ªNº position or the manual trans-
mission shift lever in the ªNº position.
9. Turn the engine off.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 8 at least one
more time.
If step 1 through 7 is interrupted, repeat
the preceding step. Any safe driving mode
is acceptable between steps. Do not stop
the engine until step 7 is completed.READINESS FOR INSPECTION/
