STARTING SYSTEM
The navigation system starts when the
ignition switch is turned to the ACC or ON
position.
NOTE:
Do not keep the navigation system on with the
engine or the hybrid system stopped. Doing so
may discharge the vehicle battery (12V bat-
tery). When you use the navigation system,
always keep the engine or the hybrid system
running.

INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-
free operation of the navigation system
and other systems equipped on this
vehicle, such as the phone, vehicle infor-
mation and audio.
INFINITI Voice Recognition can be used in
one of two selectable modes, Standard
Mode or Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, the commands that are
available are always shown on the display
and announced by the system. To perform
operations, simply follow the prompts
given by the system.
For advanced operations, change to Alter-
nate Command Mode. When this mode is
active, an expanded list of commands can
be spoken after pushing >on the
steering wheel, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Note that in
this mode the recognition success rate may
decrease because there are more com-
mands available and more ways of speak-
ing each command. Otherwise, it is
recommended that Alternate Command
Mode be turned off and Standard Mode
be used for the best recognition perfor-
mance.
INFO:
.
For U.S. customers, Standard Mode is
selected by default. For Canadian custo-
mers, Alternate Command Mode is the
default mode.
.For voice recognition system operations
related to the phone, audio or vehicle
information systems, refer to the vehicle
Owner’s Manual.
.When the system language is set to
“Français” (French) or “Español”(Spanish),
the available commands and functions may
differ from those that are available when
using the system in English.

fic noise, vibration sounds, etc.), which
may prevent the system from correctly

operated when the retractable hard top
is not closed (for G37 Convertible only).
. Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.
. If the air conditioner is set to “AUTO”,
the fan speed is automatically lowered
so that commands can be recognized
more easily.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help guiding to
the destination, and it also performs other
functions as outlined in this manual.
However, the system must be used safely
and properly. Information concerning road
conditions, traffic signs and the availability
of services may not always be up-to-date.
The system is not a substitute for safe,
proper and legal driving. Map data covers
select metropolitan areas in the United
States and Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas:
“ Detailed coverage areas” providing all
detailed road data and other areas show-
ing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select major
metropolitan areas.

VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ between
Plan View and Birdview
TM. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too crowded. There is
also a chance that names of the roads or locations may be
displayed multiple times, and the names appearing on the screen
may be different because of a processing procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the correct
position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was pushed
off, for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a while on a road
where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be incorrect
depending on the driving environments and the levels of
positioning accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle
for a while to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location”
(page 10-4)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new road,
the vehicle icon is located on another road
nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the system
automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest road available.
Updated road information will be included
in the next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night screen
even after turning on the headlights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights were
turned on. Set the screen to the night screen mode
using
when turning on
the headlights.
