surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
cWait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
cStart speaking a command within 3.5 sec-
onds after the tone sounds.
cSpeak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.

lowing systems:
cNavigation (if so equipped)
cBluetoothTHands-Free Phone

tem, see the separate Navigation System Own-
er’s Manual.
How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer
to the following examples.
General rule: Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for
“0”.
Phone numbers:
Speak phone numbers according to the following
examples:
c1-800-662-6200
csay “Dial” or “Phone dial” the system will
respond with “Please say the first group of
numbers”, then say:
– “one eight oh oh six six two six two oh oh”,
– “one eight hundred six six two six two oh
oh”, or– “one eight zero zero six six two oh oh”.
Note 1: For the best voice recognition phone
dialing results, say phone numbers as single dig-
its.
Note 2: You cannot say 555-6000 as “five five
five six thousand”.
Personal vocabulary (voicetags)
NISSAN Voice Recognition provides the function
called “voicetags”, which can be associated with
the phone and the navigation system (if so
equipped) . Using your own voice, 70 voicetags
can be registered in the “Phonebook” (phone)
and 20 locations can be registered in the “Ad-
dress Book” (navigation system) .
For additional information, see “BluetoothT
Hands-Free Phone System” earlier in this section
and/or the separate Navigation System Owner’s
Manual (if so equipped) for the method of “voic-
etag” registration.
