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 vehicle operation.
. If you find yourself unable to devote full
attention 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 12-volt battery, use a
phone after starting the INFINITI Direct
Response Hybrid
TMSystem.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an
owner of a Bluetooth®enabled cellular
phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone
and the in-vehicle phone module. With
Bluetooth
®wireless technology, you can
make or receive a telephone call with your cellular phone in your pocket.
Once your cellular phone is paired to the
in-vehicle phone module, no phone con-
necting procedure is required. 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 Blue-
tooth
®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.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system
supports the phone commands, so dialing
a phone number using your voice is
possible.
Before using the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes.
. Set up the wireless connection between
a cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module before using the Blue-
tooth
®Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth®enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the tele-
phone 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 garage, behind a tall build-
ing or in a mountainous 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
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.

system volume knob while the system
is making an announcement.
How to speak commands:
The Voice Recognition System requires a
certain way to speak voice commands.
Speak normally and clearly in the direction
of the microphone (located in front of the
rearview mirror). Every digit of the number
must be spoken individually and in a
normal manner. The hands-free mode will
work best when the telephone number is
spoken in blocks of three to five digits.
After each spoken block is terminated, the
system will repeat the three to five digits
and wait for you to speak the next digit or
block of digits required for the telephone
number.
See “List of voice commands ”later in this
section for the appropriate commands that
can be spoken for the hands-free mode
system.
Example:
In order to initiate a call, speak “Phone-
book ”.
INFO
. If you are controlling the telephone
system by voice command for the first time or do not know the appropriate
voice command, speak
“Help ”.The
system announces the available com-
mands.
. When you speak numbers, you can
speak both “zero ”or “oh ”for “0 ”.
Personal vocabulary (voicetags):
Voice Recognition System is equipped with
the function called “voicetags ”, which can
be associated with the phone number and
name in the phonebook. Using the voice
tag will automatically generate a speed
dial to the registered number.
See “Phonebook registration ”earlier in
this section.
You can call the identified number using
the following command: “Dial ”followed by
the voice tag.
Dialling a name with a voice tag:
It is possible to call up a name via a voice
tag instead of a number, provided the
name and number of your correspondent
has been previously stored in the phone-
book.
Dial via a voice tag, according to the
following procedure. 1. Push theswitch.
2. The system replies “please say a
command after the beep. Available
commands are: Call, Phonebook, Re-
cent Calls, Connect Phone or Help ”.
3. Give your instructions to the system by saying: “Dial John ”for example ( “John ”
must have been previously set as a
voice tag for John ’s phone number) or
“ Dial One” if John is classified as one in
the phonebook.
If the system cannot understand your
command, repeat it according to the
recommendations mentioned in “How
to speak commands ”earlier in this
section.
4. If the given name (voice tag) is correct, the phone system will dial the number
registered for “John ”.
INFO
To end the voice command phase at any
stage of the procedure, push the
switch once in order to activate the cancel
command.

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI) systems can help
alert the driver of other vehicles in
adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
SSD1027
The BSW system uses radar sensors*1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane. In addition to the radar
sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
*2
installed behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane.

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated. This
detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located inside the outside mirrors
illuminates. If your vehicle is approaching
a lane marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and an audible warning will sound
three times. Then the system applies the
brakes on one side of the vehicle for a
short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.NOTE:
.
Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the BSW/BSI indicator light
is already illuminated when your vehi-
cle approaches a lane marker. If an-
other vehicle comes into the detection
zone after your vehicle has crossed a
lane marker, no warning or brake
control will be activated. (See “BSW/
BSI driving situations ”later in this
section.)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Preven-
tion (LDP) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering
wheel is pushed when the “Blind Spot
Intervention ”is enabled in the settings
menu on the center display. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides an audible warn-
ing and flashes the indicator light when
BSI system is activated even if the BSW
system is off.

BSW/BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
The BSW/BSI indicator light illuminates if a
vehicle enters the detection zone from
behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is
traveling much faster than your vehicle,
the indicator light may not illuminate
before the detected vehicle is beside your
vehicle. Always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direction
your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe
to change lanes.

If the driver activates the turn signal, then
the BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and a
chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the BSW/BSI indicator light will flash but
no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected.
