SYSTEM RESET
As noted above, intermittent system resets
may occur during normal operation. You may
also wish to reset the system if you find that
a particular feature is not loading or re-
sponding. Often, a quick system reset will
resolve any issue you may be experiencing.
After restart, all functions will be available as
described above.
SYSTEM UPDATES
Like many digital devices, the Infiniti In-
TouchTMsystem is designed to allow for
software updates as enhancements are
developed and additional features added. If
you have questions about system perfor-
mance, contact your retailer to ensure that
your vehicle has had the latest available
software installed.
OPERATING TIPS
Infiniti InTouchTMprovides several methods
of operation to suit your preferences. The
following are suggested operating tips.
. Operating the INFINITI Controller,
Steering Wheel Controls, or other con-
trols too quickly can cause a lag between
the control and the display. Operate the
controls carefully and allow the system
to respond to your request. .
INFINITI recommends using Voice re-
cognition when ever possible to select
options while driving. Some touch screen
functionality is intentionally unavailable
during driving. Please view the available
voice commands by pushing the <
>
(TALK) switch and then selecting a
category on the display.
. When looking for a street address or
Points of Interest (POI), remember that
you can use Connected Search and
Destination Assistance features within
Infiniti InTouch
TMServices to expand
your search methods and results. The
Voice Recognition system recognizes a
defined set of commands. These com-
mands can be viewed in the display by
pushing the <
>(TALK) switch and
then selecting a category from the dis-
played list. The commands can also be
found in the Voice recognition section
under
“Command list” (page 10-7).
. In some situations, the system may not
be able to recognize your command even
if you say the exact command. This can
be due to noise conditions or an accent. .
In some unique cases, the system may
expect a word to be spoken as it is
spelled as opposed to the way it is
normally pronounced.
. Bluetooth® Compatibility: Some wire-
less devices do not allow phonebook
downloads, text messaging, or other
Bluetooth® audio functions. Some wire-
less devices may only have partial func-
tionality of these features even though
the phone is compatible for hands-free
communication. If your phone is listed as
compatible and you are still experiencing
issues, please confirm that your phone
also has the latest software updates.
