AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
WARNING
.The driver must not attempt to oper-
ate the audio system while the vehicle
is in motion, so that full attention may
be given to the vehicle operation.
. Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before oper-
ating the audio system and playing
movies (if so equipped).
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the engine or the hybrid system is
running. Operating the audio system
for extended periods of time with the
engine or the hybrid system turned
off can discharge the vehicle battery
(12V battery).
. Do not allow these systems to get
wet. Excessive moisture such as
spilled liquids may cause the system
to malfunction.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in 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 placed in 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
3-2

PHONE SYSTEM
WARNING
.Only 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

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 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 by the in-vehicle phone module
when the ignition switch is switched to the
ON position with the selected cellular phone
turned on and carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to five different Blue-
tooth® 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.“7. Voice Recognition”
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and wireless LAN functions
at the same time may slow down or
disrupt communications and could cause
undesired noise. It is recommended 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 Pone System.

phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module. Please visit
www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth/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 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-
4-2

tooth®. To take advantage of this fea-
ture, the cellular 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 cellular phone carrier if you
experience issues with call quality or
connection.
. Immediately after the ignition switch is
turned ON, 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 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 be emitted from the audio system speakers. Storing the device in a
different location may reduce or elim-
inate the noise.
. Refer to the owner’s manual for the
cellular phone for information regarding
the telephone pairing procedure specific
to your phone, battery charging and
cellular phone antenna, etc.
. The antenna display on the monitor may
not match the antenna display of some
cellular phones.
. The battery display on the monitor may
not match the battery display of some
cellular phones.
. Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible to her the caller’s voice clearly
as well as to minimize echoes.
. If reception between callers is unclear,
adjusting the incoming or outgoing call
volume may improve the clarity.CONTROL BUTTONS AND MI-
