NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the navigation system and other
systems equipped on this vehicle, such as the
phone.
INFO:
cVoice recognition can be used to set destina-
tion street addresses that exist within the con-
tinental United States (48 states) . Street ad-
dresses in Canada, Alaska and Hawaii cannot
be entered using voice recognition.
USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is
initialized, which takes a few seconds. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the

wait.”
BASIC VOICE CONTROL
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance out of
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
cThe interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and vi-
bration sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.
cWait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be recognized properly.
cSpeak in a natural conversational voice with-
out pausing between words.
Giving voice commands

ROUTE GUIDANCE
The main features of the NISSAN Navigation
System are visual guidance and voice guidance
in selected map coverage areas. Utilizing a net-
work of GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites, the NISSAN Navigation System tracks
your location on the map and navigates you to a
preferred location.
Once you set the destination in a map coverage
area, the NISSAN Navigation System will calcu-
late a route from your current location to your
destination. The real-time map display and turn-
by-turn voice guidance leads the driver along the
route.
These features can be especially helpful when
driving to unfamiliar locations.
The system may be unable to set a destination
and/or calculate a route when the destination is
outside the map coverage area. Additionally,
voice guidance may not be available if the desti-
nation is outside the map coverage area. For
more information on how to set a destination, re-
fer to section 4.
POINTS OF INTEREST (POI) DIREC-
TORY
The NISSAN Navigation System offers an exten-
sive Points of Interest (POI) directory in map
coverage areas. This directory includes a wide
variety of destinations ranging from gas stations,
ATMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski resorts,
shopping centers and businesses. By accessing
the Points of Interest directory, you can search
for addresses and phone numbers for a
destination, and just by pushing a button, the
NISSAN Navigation System will calculate a
route to the destination.
The POI directory has many uses. For example,
the directory can be sorted by the various types
of restaurants near your current location. If you
need an ATM or gas station, the NISSAN Navi-
gation System can navigate you to the closest
preferred location.
For more information on how to use the Points of
Interest directory, refer to section 4.
ADDRESS BOOK
The Address Book can store up to 100 locations
from map coverage areas into a personal
directory. This is especially useful for frequently
visited locations, such as clients, relatives and
friends. The Address Book function allows easyaccess to frequently visited locations when set-
ting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use the Address
Book, refer to section 6.
AVOID AREA
The Avoid Area function allows you to identify ar-
eas or freeways that you would like the NISSAN
Navigation System to avoid when calculating
routes. For example, if a freeway or area is al-
ways congested with traffic, you can set the
NISSAN Navigation System to calculate routes
that exclude that freeway or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area function,
refer to section 6.
XMTNAVTRAFFIC™ INFORMATION
When available, the Traffic Information broad-
cast allows you to avoid delays due to traffic
incidents. Traffic jams, roadwork, closed roads
around your current location, etc. are repre-
sented graphically on the map by icons depict-
ing the nature of the event. Incidents on the route
are automatically brought to your attention when
you approach them.
The Traffic Information feature, via the guidance
mode, allows you to detour around traffic
problems. For more information on the Traffic In-
formation feature, please refer to section 7.

INFO:
The GPS antenna is located on the instrument
panel inside the vehicle. Do not place any
objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the instrument panel. Because
the strength of the GPS signal is approximately
one billionth of that of TV waves, phones and
transceivers will affect or may totally disrupt the
signal.
