1 Driving is serious business. Only use services when safe to do so. Servi\
ces, including automatic crash notification and
SOS, require an active subscription and are dependent upon the telematic\
s device being in an operative condition, its
ability to connect to a wireless network, compatible wireless network av\
ailability, navigation map data, and GPS satellite
signal receptions, the absence of which can limit or prevent the ability\
to reach Customer Care or receive support. AT&T
has announced that on December 31, 2016 AT&T will discontinue 2G network\
service. Vehicles equipped with telematics
hardware compatible for use with the 2G GSM/GPRS cellular network provid\
ed by AT&T will be unable to connect to the 2G
network and unable to access the Infiniti InTouch Services features. You\
must enroll by June 30, 2016 to access the services
on the 2G network through December 31, 2016. Services require compatible\
cellular network provided by AT&T. Cellular
network and GPS signal not available in all areas and/or available at al\
l times. Technology is evolving, and changes to cellular
networks provided by independent companies are not within Infiniti’s \
or Sirius XM Connected Vehicle Service’s (“Sirius XM”)
control. Like other devices that rely on network coverage, once the netw\
ork service is discontinued, Infiniti InTouch services
will not function unless equipment replacements, upgrades, or alternativ\
e network coverage are available at that time,
which neither Infiniti nor Sirius XM can guarantee. Infiniti and Sirius \
XM are not responsible for associated costs that may
be required for continued operation due to cellular network turndown or \
discontinuation (including equipment upgrades, if
available, or roaming charges on alternative networks). Certain vehicle\
services and features, including Google
® compatible
services, provided by independent companies are not within Infiniti’s\
or Sirius XM’s control and are subject to change
without notice or liability to Infiniti or Sirius XM and either of their\
affiliates and agents. Text rates and/or data usage may
apply. Certain services require a PIN for activation. See www.infinitius\
a.com/Intouch for more information. App availability
is dependent upon vehicle model, trim level, packaging, and/or options. \
See www.infinitiusa.com/Intouch/system-details
for complete app availability details. Some apps require the Infiniti In\
Touch companion app installed and logged in with an
active account to function. Never program while driving. GPS mapping may\
not be detailed in all areas or reflect current road
status. Compatible smartphone required. Processing speed may vary. May r\
equire retailer service visit or software upgrade to
activate. Terms and conditions of subscription agreement apply.

local regulations before using this feature.
