MATION
Infiniti InTouchTMuses an operating system
like those found on many computers, tablets
and cell phones. Like these devices, proces-
sing speed may vary, and system response
delays or resets may occur intermittently.
This does not indicate a malfunction, and
further information on system operation can
be found below.
SYSTEM START-UP
Due to the large number of features and
capabilities that the Infiniti InTouchTMsys-
tem needs to load on start-up, it may take up
to a minute for all functions (such as Apps)
to be available. The system will display “Now
Loading All Apps...” during this time. During
the start-up period, hard button controls for
audio and climate will become available
before start-up is complete. Features will
become available in the following order:
. Climate Control hard buttons
. Audio volume and music playback
. Audio & Climate Full Screen Access
. Full App Availability - System will display
“Loading Completed”
SYSTEM RESPONSE DELAY
Infiniti InTouchTMuses an operating system
like those found on many computers, tablets
and cell phones. Like these devices, some-
times programs do not respond immediately
and this may temporarily delay system use.
In most situations, simply waiting a few
moments longer should be sufficient for the
pending operations to complete.
If the system temporarily does not respond
to commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down the Audio Power knob for
at least 5 seconds. The system will turn off
and restart.
After restart, all functions should be avail-
able.
. Audio will resume, but if you were using
Bluetooth® Audio or an Audio App, the
connection may need to be re-estab-
lished.
. If a navigation route was set, the route
should resume automatically.
. If a phone call was in progress, the call
may be temporarily transferred back to
the handset.
