initialized, which takes a few seconds. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the

initialization completes, the display will show the
message: “Phonetic data downloaded. Please
wait.”

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.
