Before starting
To get the best recognition performance out of
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
cKeep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands
correctly.
cWait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be recognized properly.
cSpeak in a natural voice without pausing be-
tween words.
cIf the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
voice commands can be recognized more
easily.

INFO:
The announcement of the street name during
route guidance is available only when English is
set as the language for the system. Street names
are not announced if French is set for the
system.
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
cThere may be some cases in which voice
guidance and actual road conditions do not
correspond. This may occur because of dis-
crepancies between the actual road and the
information on the map DVD-ROM, or it is due
to the vehicle’s speed.
cIn case voice guidance does not correspond
to the actual road conditions, follow the infor-
mation obtained from traffic signs or notices
on the road.
cRoute guidance provided by the navigation
system does not take carpool lane driving into
consideration, especially when carpool lanes
are separated from other road lanes.
DIRECTIONS PROVIDED AND THE
DISTANCES TO GUIDE POINTS
Directions will differ, depending on the road
type.
INFO:
Distances may vary, depending on the vehicle
speed.
Notification of an intersection on a or-
dinary road
1. “In about one quarter mile (400 meters) ,
right (left) turn.”
2. “Right (left) turn ahead.”
