How to speak numbers:
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain way to speak numbers when giving
voice commands. Refer to the following
examples.
General rule
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used.
(For example, if you would like to say 500,
“five zero zero” can be used, but “five
hundred” cannot. Phone numbers
Speak phone numbers according to the
following examples:
.
1-800-662-6200
—“ Dial one eight zero zero six six two
six two zero zero.”
Note 1: For the best voice recognition
phone dialing results, say phone numbers
as single digits.
Note 2: You cannot say 555-6000 as “five
five five six thousands” .
Note 3: When speaking a house number,
speak the number “0”as“zero”. If the
letter “o (Oh)” is included in the house
number, it will not be recognized as the
number “0 (zero)” even if you speak “oh”
instead of “zero”. Please speak “zero”for
the number “0 (zero)”,“oh”for the letter
“o (oh)”.
Send digits using dial tone: . Press the TALK
switch during a
phone call.
. The menu will be launched and you will
be provided with the following gui-
dance: "Please say the digits to dial".
. After guidance, say the digits of the
number you want to send. After this, the digits that have been recognized
will be read out.
. If you press the ENTER button on the
steering wheel or on the INFINITI con-
troller, the selected digits will be sent.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions given in
this guide for the appropriate error.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.
Symptom/error messageSolution
The system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see“Command List”earlier in this section.
2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.
The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag in
the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See
“Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone
System” earlier in this section; page 4-98.)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.

Additional information
.The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
. The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may
not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example, a flat tire while
driving).
. The low tire pressure warning light does
not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is
inflated to the recommended pressure,
the vehicle must be driven at speeds
above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the
TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure
warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge
to check the tire pressure.
. The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
appears in the dot matrix liquid crystal
display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low
tire pressure is detected. The CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE warning turns off when
the low tire pressure warning light
turns off.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
appears each time the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position as long as the low tire pressure warning light
remains illuminated.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a
TPMS malfunction.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending
on the heat caused by the vehicle’s
operation and the outside temperature.
Low outside temperature can lower the
temperature of the air inside the tire
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If
the warning light illuminates in low
ambient temperature, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.
. You can also check the pressure of all
tires (except the spare tire) on the
display screen. The order of the tire
pressure figures displayed on the
screen does not correspond with the
actual order of the tire position. See
“TIRE PRESSURE information” in the“4.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systems” section.
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the“2. Instru-
ments and controls” section and“Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
”in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates or LOW PRESSURE informa-
tion is displayed on the monitor screen
while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury. Check
the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while driving
after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire
may be flat. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible. (See “Flat tire”in the“6. In
case of emergency” section for changing

Precautions on BSW/Blind Spot
InterventionTMsystem
WARNING
.Do not use the Blind Spot InterventionTM
system under the following conditions
because the system may not function
properly.
—During bad weather (for example,
rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.)
—When driving on slippery roads,such as on ice or snow, etc.
—When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
—When there is a lane closure due toroad repairs.
—When driving in a makeshift lane.
—When driving on roads where thelane width is too narrow.
—When driving with a tire that is notwithin normal tire conditions (for
example, tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire chains,
non-standard wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped withnon-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
. Do not use the BSW or Blind Spot
Intervention
TMsystems when towing a
trailer.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
. The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TM/BSW when certain objects are
present such as:
—Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
—Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles
—Oncoming vehicles
—Vehicles remaining in the detectionzone when you accelerate from a
stop
(See “BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
—A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle
(See
“BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
—A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
(See “BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
—A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
(See “BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
. Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
. The radar sensors detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect vehi-
cles in an adjacent lane. When driving in
a narrow lane, the radar sensors may
detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage

. Push and hold the push-button ignition
switch for more than 2 seconds.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYS-
TEM (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It
monitors tire pressure of all tires except
the spare. When the low tire pressure
warning light is lit and the CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning appears in the dot
matrix liquid crystal display, one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the TPMS will activate and warn
you of it by the low tire pressure warning
light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16
MPH (25 km/h). For more details, see
“Warning/indicator lights and audible re-
minders” in the“2. Instruments and
controls” section,“TIRE PRESSURE infor-
mation” in the“4. Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems”
section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates or LOW PRESSURE informa- tion is displayed on the monitor screen
while driving, avoid sudden steering
maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce
vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Driving with under-inflated
tires may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire fail-
ure. Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury. Check
the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust
the tire pressure to the recommended
COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If
the light still illuminates while driving
after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire
may be flat. If you have a flat tire,
replace it with a spare tire as soon as
possible.
. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, 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.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
