The windows will roll up even if you turn off your engine.
The audio will stay on if you push the bottom twice fast when you turn your engine off. If your car equiped then it does the same with the cellphone staying on.
There is 2 different color backgroun for non navi screen.
That's all I can think of right now.

I have the Nav, so can't try this myself.

You work for the government? j/k

Nice thread topic, btw. I may start this in the I35 forum to see if there's anything I don't know about my own car

Check out this thread.

Yes, odd, but true ... I found this in 2 places in the manual a) p.5-26, middle column, 3rd item, 2nd paragraph, and b) p.5-37, middle column, 3rd bullet. Wipers can be on "intermittent" mode, but not on Lo or Hi.

My guess, this is done to prevent automatic braking on wet roads from causing a problem like skidding ... more Big Brother, wouldn't want owners to sue Infiniti, stuff.

BTW, when you turn on cruise control, the default is ICC (Intelligent Cruise Control). To activate Conventional Cruise Control you must press and hold the "CRUISE ON/OFF" button for more than 1.5 secs (see p.5-41).

Snow Mode. Yes, it's summer and some days I look at that button and long for a bit of cool weather, but for me at least, it's become a year round button.

I did a long road trip for work from here in Philly up to Michigan, across to Chicago and back last weekend. At 11.30pm on Sunday night, getting closer to Chicago we hit stopped traffic on the hwy, and moved about 8 miles over an hour and a half. I love manual cars, except in traffic, but overly powerful sporty automatic cars can sometimes be a bit annoying in stop and go traffic too I find - the slightest tap of the accelerator to move forward another 10 feet and the car shoots off.

I hit the snow button, and engine power seems to be reduced, it changes into 2nd and 3rd sooner and is just easier to drive in awful traffic....or so I find anyway.

Funny in the manual it dedicates 3 sentences to snow mode, for what is one of the few buttons in the car that actually changes driving characteristics....yet we get about 40 pages on how to sit in the seat and wear a seatbelt. Amazing.

I got pretty good mileage on the trip btw. Manually calculated - one tank 22.8mpg (heading out there averaging 75-85mph). A 24.3mpg tank. A 25.2mpg tank, and the current one (I got back weds night) I have 320 miles on it so far and the trip computer says I have another 195 miles left in the tank.

The owner's manual says you have to do one of the above things.

The dealer confirmed other people had mentioned it so I guess it's not a *bug*

JUST REMEMBER, if you've locked everything, and check to see if the hatchback is locked (with the key in your pocket), it will open. But go stash the key and then try it and it will be locked.

In some modes (but not all) during Voice Recognition commands, the car automatically lowers the fan speed.

At first I thought there was something wrong but then I realized that I was going through an underpass in traffic and went slow enough for my auto lights to kick in. The nav view apparently is connected to the lights in auto mode.

To confirm this, it happened again when I got home and went down to my parking garage.

Another feature I discovered is that you can delete text input such as names and numbers in the phonebook by keeping the Delete button pressed. Maybe this is in the manual but I haven't come across it.

The car is so smart, when I think that something is not working properly I have to ask myself... is it my lack of knowledge or is it a real problem with the car?

I haven't seen it in the manual, and it works really well - thanks for mentioning it!!!
(Edit: Just tripped across it in the manual, p.4-6 ... still, great find!)

In my experimentation, it seems that whenever the touchscreen keyboard is presented for user input, if you press and hold "Delete" for about 2 seconds, the entire input line will be erased. This is MUCH preferable to hitting "Delete" repeatedly to erase each character, especially when you're trying to replace the default track names recorded to the hard drive with the actual song name.

I walked towards my car while talking on the phone. I got in and started the car. As soon as my phone paired up with the Bluetooth, it seamlessly turned the music down and switched my conversation to speakerphone.

That was flat out awesome!

- Turn OFF the Audio system
- While holding down the SETTING button, rotate the radio's Volume knob either clockwise or counter-clockwise for at least 40 clicks. You should then be in the System Diagnostic menu.
- select Confirmation / Adjustment
- select Camera Cont.
- select Calibrating Camera Image
- you can then pick a camera to view

Is this just a one time thing or can you actual set the cameras be used while driving? It seems to easy to do since it would be a huge safety concern. Do you have to go thru all these steps every time to use the camera while driving?

I still would like to have a way to see the left-hand camera in an inset while viewing the rear camera, similar to what's available for the right side of the vehicle. This would be useful while parallel parking on the left side of a one-way street, for instance. (For these situations so far, I've been using the driver's side mirror tilt-down feature.)

There's got to be a way to do this, since right-hand drive vehicles are being sold in markets like Japan and England. The trick is, how to get it to show up?!?

I also wondered why they didn't have a way see the left camera in the inset; I guess they figure that you can get a pretty good view yourself of the left side by looking out the window or in the mirror, and they probably wanted to make the interface as simple as possible.
