NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the navigation system and other
systems equipped on this vehicle, such as the
phone.
INFO:
●Voice 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
is pressed before the
initialization completes, the display will show the
message: “Phonetic data downloaded. Please
wait.”
BASIC VOICE CONTROL
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance out of
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
●The 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.
●Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be recognized properly.
●Speak in a natural conversational voice with-
out pausing between words.
Giving voice commands

steering wheel switches.
