Your vehicle is equipped with a 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 Bluetooth® wireless tech-
nology, 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 beperformed again. Your phone is automatically
selected by the in-vehicle phone module when
the ignition switch is switched to the ON posi-
tion with the selected cellular phone turned on
and carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth®
cellular phones to 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.
SeeINFINITI Voice Recognition systemlater in
this section
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
•Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth®
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth® and wire-
less LAN functions at the same time may
slow down or disrupt communications and
could cause undesired noise. It is recom-
mended that you turn wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) off
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/bluetooth and 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 the service area
for your cellular phone network.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is
difficult to receive radio waves, such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking ga-
rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous 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 Wideband
speech, which enhances the sound quality of
phone calls placed over Bluetooth®. To take
advantage of this feature, the cellular device
should be used on a carrier supporting Adap-
tive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) or HD
voice technology. The performance of
AMR-WB may vary by carrier and calling area.

WARNING
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal illness to people or animals.
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
•To avoid raising the center of gravity exces-
sively, do not exceed the rated capacity of
the roof rack (if so equipped) and evenly
distribute the load.
EXHAUST GAS (CARBON MONOXIDE)
WARNING
•Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
•If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering
the vehicle, drive with all windows fully open,
and have the vehicle inspected immediately.
•Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as a garage.
•Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for an extended period of time.
•Keep the lift gate closed while driving, other-
wise exhaust gas could be drawn into the pas-
senger compartment. If you must drive with
the lift gate open, follow these precautions:
–Open all the windows.
–Turn the air recirculation switch off and
set the fan control to the highest level to
circulate the air.
•If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the seal
ion the lift gate or body, follow the manufac-
turer’s recommendations to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
•The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
–You suspect that exhaust fumes are en-
tering into the passenger compartment.
–You notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system.
–You have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody,
or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST (IF EQUIPPED)
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gas in the three-way catalyst is burned at high
temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
•The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals and
flammable materials away from the exhaust
system components.
•Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste-
paper or rags. They may ignite and cause a
fire.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND
DRIVING
5-4Starting and driving

CAUTION
•Do not use leaded gasoline. (SeeRecom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacitiesin
the9. Maintenance and Schedulessec-
tion.) Deposits from leaded gasoline seri-
ously reduce the ability of the three-way
catalyst to help reduce exhaust pollutants
and/or damage the three-way catalyst.
•Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions in
the ignition, fuel injection, or electrical sys-
tems may cause overrich fuel to flow into
the three-way catalyst, causing it to over-
heat. Do not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of performance or
other unusual operating conditions are de-
tected. Have the vehicle inspected
promptly. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
•Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the three-way
catalyst.
•Do not race the engine while warming it up.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to start the
engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if present),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys-
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from working properly. Always check
the TPMS telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
The vehicle’s wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tire pressures in all four tires The
tire pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tires The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tire pressures is shown in the
vehicle information display. After a few minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each tire
is shown in the [Serv.] menu of the vehicle
information display.
Starting and driving5-5

WARNING
•Radio waves could adversely affect electri-
cal medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemake should contact their electrical
medical equipment manufacturer for the
pssible influences before use.
•If the low tire pressure warning light illumi-
nates or a tire pressure-related warning is
displayed by the vehicle information dis-
play while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce ve-
hicle speed, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible. Driving with under-inflated tires may
permanently damage the tires and increase
the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to an ac-cident and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
tire and loading information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a replace-
ment tire as soon as possible.
•If a replacement wheel is fitted without an
INFINITI TPMS Sensor, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute. It is
recommended you contact an INFINITI re-
tailer as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
•For models with run-flat tires, although you
can continue driving with a punctured run-flat
tire, remember that vehicle handling stability
is reduced, which could lead to an accident
and personal injury. Also, driving a long dis-
tance at high speeds may damage the tires.
–Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH (80
km/h) and do not drive more than approxi-
mately 93 miles (150 km) with a punctured
run-flat tire. The actual distance the ve-
hicle can be driven on a flat tire depends
on outside temperature, vehicle load, road
conditions and other factors.
–If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punctured
run-flat tire, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. The tire may be seriously dam-
aged and need to be replaced.
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
•If you used Emergency Tire Sealant to repair
a minor tire puncture, the TPMS sensor
should be checked when repairing or re-
placing the tire (for models equipped with
the emergency tire puncture repair kit). It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
•INFINITI recommends using only INFINITI
Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tire sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can
cause the tire to lose air pressure (for mod-
els equipped with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit).
