voice recognition systems” section.)
Initialize entry/exit function If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the entry/exit function will not work
though this function was set on before. In such
a case, after connecting the battery or replacing
with a new fuse, open and close the driver’s
door more than two times after the ignition
switch is turned from the ON position to the
LOCK position. The entry/exit function will be
activated.
SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTION The seat synchronization function automatically
adjusts the positions of the steering wheel and
outside mirrors when the seat is adjusted using
the power seat switches.
However, the steering wheel and outside mir-
rors will not move if the seat is adjusted over
the maximum thresholds. The system considers
that the steering wheel and outside mirror
adjustments are not necessary because the
seat may not be adjusted for the driving posi-
tion. Note that the function is set to disabled as
the factory default setting. The seat synchronization function operates un-
der the following conditions:
● The ignition switch is in the ON position.
● The selector lever is in the P (Park) position
(Automatic Transmission models) or the
parking brake is applied (Manual Transmis-
sion models).
● The seatback is raised (Coupe).
If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the function
is automatically disabled. Restart the function
by selecting a previously stored seat memory
position using the memory switches (1 or 2). An
Intelligent Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to restart
the function.
If a seat position was not previously stored in
the seat memory, restart the function by adjust-
ing the steering wheel and outside mirrors
manually for your best driving position and then
drive the vehicle above 4 MPH (7 km/h). SPA2322

Confirming memory storage ● Push the ignition switch to the ON position
and push the SET switch. If the main memory
has not been stored, the indicator light will
come on for approximately 0.5 second.
When the memory has stored in position, the
indicator light will stay on for approximately
5 seconds.
● If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the memory will be canceled. In
this case, reset the desired position using
the previous procedure.
● If optional Intelligent Keys are added to your
vehicle, the memory storage procedure to
switch 1 or 2 and linking Intelligent Key
procedure to a stored memory position
should be performed again for each Intelli-
gent Key. For additional Intelligent Key infor-
mation, see “KEYS” earlier in this section.
Selecting the memorized position 1. Automatic transmission models:
Move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.
Manual transmission models:
Apply the parking brake.
2. Raise the seatback (Coupe). 3. Use one of the following methods to move
the driver’s seat, the outside mirrors and
the steering wheel.
● Push the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion and push the memory switch (1 or 2)
fully for at least 1 second.
● Within 45 seconds of opening the driver’s
door, push the memory switch (1 or 2)
fully for at least 1 second.
The driver’s seat, steering column and
outside mirrors will move to the memo-
rized position with the indicator light
flashing, and then the light will stay on for
approximately 5 seconds.
For manual transmission models, the memory
positions can be selected even when the engine
is running. In this case, move the shift lever to
the N (Neutral) position and apply the parking
brake. Then, perform step 2.
SYSTEM OPERATION The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
● When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h). ● When the adjusting switch for the driver’s
seat and steering column is turned on while
the automatic drive positioner is operating.
● When the memory switch 1 or 2 is not
pushed for at least 1 second.
● When the seat, steering column and outside
mirrors have already been moved to the
memorized position.
● When no position is stored in the memory
switch.
● When the parking brake is released (MT
models).
● When the speed is above 4 MPH (7 km/h)
while the parking brake is applied (MT mod-
els).
To restart the drive positioner system, move
the parking brake to off and on.
● When the engine is started while moving the
automatic drive positioner.
● When the AT selector lever is moved from the
P (Park) position to any other position. (How-
ever, it will not be canceled if the switch is
pushed while the seat and steering column
are returning to the previous positions
(entry/exit function).)

Predicted course lines
 6
:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the selector lever is in the “R”
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES WARNING● Always turn and check that it is safe to park
your car before backing up. Always back up
slowly.
● Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road
condition and road grade.
● If the tires are replaced with different sized
tires, the predicted course line may not be
displayed correctly.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line. ● If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines may
not be displayed correctly. If this occurs,
perform the following procedures.
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for
more than 5 minutes.
● The displayed lines will appear slightly off to
the right because the rearview camera is not
installed in the rear center of the vehicle.
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide line should be used as a refer-
ence only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance between
the vehicle and displayed objects.
● When backing up the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are further than
they appear. When backing up the vehicle
down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are closer than they appear. Use the inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course lines are
wider than the actual width and course. 1. Visually check that the parking space is
safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rearview of the vehicle is displayed

Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with increased
distance from the station transmitter, 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 reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing 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 be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmit-
ter 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 turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights. Satellite radio reception (if so equipped) :
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.
The satellite radio mode requires an active XM 
Satellite Radio subscription. The satellite radio
is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
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 build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
Compact Disc (CD) player ● Do not force a compact disc into the CD
insert slot. This could damage the CD and/or
CD player.
● Trying to load a CD with the CD door closed
could damage the CD and/or CD player. SAA0480

When installing a car phone or a CB radio in
your INFINITI, be sure to observe the following
cautions, otherwise the new equipment may
adversely affect the electronic control modules
and electronic control system harness.
WARNING● A cellular telephone should not be used
while driving so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation. Some jurisdictions pro-
hibit the use of cellular telephones while
driving.
● If you must make a call while your vehicle is
in motion, the hands-free cellular phone op-
erational mode (if so equipped) is highly rec-
ommended. Exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
● If a conversation in a moving vehicle requires
you to take notes, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop your vehicle before doing
so. CAUTION● Keep the antenna as far away as possible
from the electronic control modules.
● Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in (20 cm)
away from the electronic control system har-
ness. Do not route the antenna wire next to
any harness.
● Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio as
recommended by the manufacturer.
● Connect the ground wire from the CB radio
chassis to the body.
● For details, consult an INFINITI retailer. 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.
CAUTIONTo 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

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. ● If the Bluetooth  Hands-Free Phone System
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
come from the audio system speakers. Stor-
ing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise.
● Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging,
cellular phone antenna, etc.
● The antenna display on the monitor will not
coincide with the antenna display of some
cellular phones.
● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize its echoes.
● If reception between callers is unclear, ad-
justing the incoming or outgoing call volume
may improve the clarity.
