RADIO
Push the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position before turning on the radio. If
you listen to the radio with the engine or the
hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be pushed to the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are
completely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.

5. Hands-Free Phone
BLUETOOTH® HANDS-FREE
PHONE SYSTEM
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 vehicle battery, use
a phone after starting the engine or the
hybrid system.
Your vehicle 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 phone module. With Blue-
tooth® wireless technology, you can make
or receive a telephone call with your cellular
phone in your pocket.
Once a cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, the procedure for
connecting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone is automati-
cally selected with the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is pushed
to the “ON” position with the selected
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.
The Voice Recognition system supports
phone commands, so dialing a phone number
using your voice is possible.“10. Voice recognition”
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes. . Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
when using the Bluetooth® functions.
. 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/blue-
tooth/search for a recommended phone
list.
. 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 building
or in a mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locked in order to prevent dialing.

.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.
. This Bluetooth® system supports Wide-
band Speech, which enhances the sound
quality of phone calls placed over Blue-
tooth®. To take advantage of this fea-
ture, the mobile device should be used on
a carrier supporting Adaptive Multi-Rate
Wideband (AMR-WB) or HD Voice
technology. The performance of AMR-
WB may vary by carrier and calling area.
Consult your mobile carrier if you experi-
ence issues with call quality or connec-
tion.
. 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.
. While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the cellular phone may discharge quicker than usual.
. If the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning,
please visit www.infinitiusa.com/blue-
tooth for troubleshooting help.
. Some cellular phones or other devices
may cause interference or a buzzing
noise to come from the audio system
speakers. Storing the device in a differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s
Manual regarding the telephone pairing
procedure specific to your phone, bat-
tery charging, cellular phone antenna,
etc.
. The antenna display on the monitor may
not coincide with the antenna display of
some cellular phones.
. The battery display on the monitor may
not coincide with the battery 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,
adjusting the incoming or outgoing call
volume may improve the clarity.
. The microphone is located near the map
light.
