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 message

Solution

The system fails to interpret the command correctly.

1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” (P.4-129).
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 (models with navigation system)” (P.4-98).)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.

WARNING

Do not 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
accidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries 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.

EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)

WARNING

Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is danger-
ous. 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 any extended length of time.

Keep the liftgate closed while driving,
otherwise exhaust gases could be drawn
into the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the liftgate open, follow
these precautions:

— Open all the windows.
— Set the

air recirculation to off

and the fan control to high to
circulate the air.

If electrical wiring or other cable con-
nections must pass to a trailer through
the seal on the liftgate or the body,
follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion to prevent carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle.

The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:

— The vehicle is raised for service.
— You suspect that exhaust fumes are

entering into the passenger compart-
ment.

— You notice a change in the sound of

the exhaust system.

— You have had an accident involving

damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.

THREE-WAY CATALYST

The three-way catalyst is an emission
control device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gases in the three-way
catalyst are burned at high temperatures to
help reduce pollutants.

WARNING

The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the
exhaust system components.

Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and

cause a fire.

CAUTION

Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline seriously reduce
the three-way catalyst’s ability to help
reduce exhaust pollutants.

Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions
in the ignition, fuel injection, or elec-
trical systems can cause overrich fuel
flow into the three-way catalyst, causing
it to overheat. Do not keep driving if the
engine misfires, or if noticeable loss of
performance or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. 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 SYS-

TEM (TPMS)

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended 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 pressure 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
pressure. 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 system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
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.

Additional information

Since the spare tire is not equipped

with the TPMS, 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 vehicle information dis-
play when the low tire pressure warn-
ing 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.
Do not reduce the tire pressure after
driving because the tire pressure rises
after driving. 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 illumi-
nates in low ambient temperature,
check the tire pressure for all four tires.

For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-14) and “Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ” (P.6-
3).

WARNING

If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates 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 failure. 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”
(P.6-3) for changing a flat tire.)

Since the spare tire is not equipped with
the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted
or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure warn-

TPMS system reset as soon as possible.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.

Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.

CAUTION

The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.

Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors,
and the TPMS will not function properly.

Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the

TPMS and cause the low tire pressure

these driving practices could cause you to
lose control of your vehicle. As with any
vehicle, a loss of control could result in a
collision with other vehicles or objects, or
cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if
the loss of control causes the vehicle to
slide sideways. Be attentive at all times,
and avoid driving when tired. Never drive
when under the influence of alcohol or
drugs (including prescription or over-the-
counter drugs which may cause drowsi-
ness). Always wear your seat belt as
outlined in the “Seat belts” (P.1-12), and
also instruct your passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted or improperly belted person is
significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than
passenger cars to make them capable of
performing in a variety of on-pavement and
off-road applications. This gives them a

higher center of gravity than ordinary cars.
An advantage of higher ground clearance is
a better view of the road, allowing you to
anticipate problems. However, they are not
designed for cornering at the same speeds
as conventional passenger cars any more
than low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road con-
ditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns
or abrupt maneuvers, particularly at high
speeds. As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in
collisions and rollovers. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted or improperly belted person is
significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.
Be sure to read “All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
driving safety precautions (for AWD mod-
els) ” (P.5-9).

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY

If the right side or left side wheels
unintentionally leave the road surface,
maintain control of the vehicle by following
the procedure below. Please note that this
procedure is only a general guide. The
vehicle must be driven as appropriate

based on the conditions of the vehicle,
road and traffic.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Do not apply the brakes.
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.

4. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the

vehicle to follow the road while the
vehicle speed is reduced. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle back onto
the road surface until vehicle speed is
reduced.

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turn

the steering wheel until both tires
return to the road surface. When all
tires are on the road surface, steer the
vehicle to stay in the appropriate
driving lane.
If you decide that it is not safe to return
the vehicle to the road surface based
on vehicle, road or traffic conditions,
gradually slow the vehicle to a stop in a
safe place off the road.

RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS

Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can
occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged
due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air
pressure loss can also be caused by driving
on under-inflated tires.
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the
handling and stability of the vehicle,
especially at highway speeds.
Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by
maintaining the correct air pressure and
visually inspect the tires for wear and
damage. See “Wheels and tires” (P.8-26).
If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or
“blows-out” while driving maintain control
of the vehicle by following the procedure
below. Please note that this procedure is
only a general guide. The vehicle must be
driven as appropriate based on the condi-
tions of the vehicle, road and traffic.

WARNING

The following actions can increase the
chance of losing control of the vehicle if
there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure.
Losing control of the vehicle may cause a
collision and result in personal injury.

The vehicle generally moves or pulls in
the direction of the flat tire.

Do not rapidly apply the brakes.

Do not rapidly release the accelerator
pedal.

Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.

1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering

wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.

3. When appropriate, slowly release the

accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.

4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe

location off the road and away from
traffic if possible.

5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-

ally stop the vehicle.

6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers

and either contact a roadside emer-
gency service to change the tire or see
“Changing a flat tire” (P.6-4).

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND

DRIVING

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream reduces
coordination, delays reaction time and im-
pairs judgement. Driving after drinking
alcohol increases the likelihood of being
involved in an accident injuring yourself and
others. Additionally, if you are injured in an
accident, alcohol can increase the severity
of the injury.

INFINITI is committed to safe driving.
However, you must choose not to drive
under the influence of alcohol. Every year
thousands of people are injured or killed in
alcohol-related accidents. Although the
local laws vary on what is considered to
be legally intoxicated, the fact is that
alcohol affects all people differently and
most people underestimate the effects of
alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs).

Condition:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(329,1)

Don’t drive if your ability to operate your
vehicle is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or
some other physical condition.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (for AWD

models)

WARNING

Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires, even with AWD
engaged. Accelerating quickly, sharp
steering maneuvers or sudden braking
may cause loss of control.

Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or
radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the rear
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully.

This vehicle is not designed for offroad
(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy
or muddy roads that tires may get stuck
in.

For AWD equipped vehicles, do not
attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to

any D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position with
the engine running. Doing so may result
in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.

Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped
vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer,
(such as the dynamometers used by
some states for emissions testing), or
similar equipment even if the other two
wheels are raised off the ground. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel
that your vehicle is equipped with AWD
before it is placed on a dynamometer.
Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.

When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively.

WARNING

Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The engine will stop when the
ignition switch is pushed 3 consecutive
times or the ignition switch is pushed and
held for more than 2 seconds.) If the engine
stops while the vehicle is being driven, this
could lead to a crash and serious injury.

Before operating the push-button ignition
switch, be sure to move the shift lever to
the P (Park) position.
