USING SYSTEMThe NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth
®Hands-
Free Phone System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
InitializationWhen the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which takes a few seconds. If thebutton is pushed before the initialization com-
pletes, the system will announce “Hands-free
phone system not ready” and will not react to
voice commands.Operating tipsTo get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the follow-
ing:.Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
.Start speaking a command within 5 seconds
after the tone sounds.
.Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
Giving voice commandsTo operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
Thecommandgivenispickedupbythe
microphone, and voice feedback is given when
the command is accepted.
.If you need to hear the available commands
for the current menu again, say “Help” and
the system will repeat them.
.If a command is not recognized, the system
announces, “Command not recognized.
Please try again.” Repeat the command in
a clear voice.
.If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say “Go back” or
“Correction” anytime the system is waiting
for a response.
.You can cancel a command when the

system is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” and ends the voice recognition
(VR) session. You can also push thebutton on the steering wheel at any time to
end the VR session. Whenever the VR
session is canceled, a double beep sounds
to indicate you have exited the system.
.If you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, push the volume control switches
(+ or ) on the steering wheel while being
provided with feedback. You can also use
the radio volume control knob.
How to say numbers:
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands.
Refer to the following rules and examples:
.Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
—“One eight oh oh six six two six two oh
oh”, or
—“One eight zero zero six six two six two oh
oh”
.Words can be used for the first 4 digits
places only.
Example: 1-800-662-6200—“One eight hundred six six two six two oh
oh”,
—NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty
two hundred, and
—NOT “One eight oh oh six six two sixty two
hundred.
.Numbers can be spoken in small groups.
The system will prompt you to continue
entering digits, if desired.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
—“One eight oh oh”
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
—“six six two”
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
—“six two oh oh”
.You can say “Star” for * and “Pound” for # at
anytime in any position of the phone number.
(Available only when using “Call Interna-
tional” command.)
Example: 1-555-1212 *123
—“One five five five one two one two star
one two three”.Say “plus” for “+” (available only when using
the “Call International” command) .
.Say “pause” for a 2 second pause (available
only when storing a phone book number) .
See “Making a call by entering a phone
number” later in this section and “Call” later
in this section for more information.
NOTE:
For best results, say phone numbers as
single digits.
The voice command “Help” is available at any
time. Please say the “Help” command to get
information about how to use the system.
