Beep setting
With this option on (indicator light illuminated) , a
beep will sound if any control panel button is
pressed.
Phone settings
For phone settings refer to “BluetoothHands-
Free Phone System with Navigation System (if so
equipped)” later in this section.
OFF BUTTON
To change the display brightness, press
the
OFF button. Pressing the button again
will change the display to the day
or the
night
display. Then, adjust the brightness
by using the NISSAN controller.
If no operation is done within 10 seconds, the
display will return to the previous display.
Press and hold the
OFF button for more
than 2 seconds to turn the display off. Press the
button again to turn the display on.When the shift selector is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The system will not detect
small objects below the bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.WARNING
●The rear view camera is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing up. Always turn and check that it is
safe to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
●Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the
RearView Monitor will appear visually
opposite than when viewed in the rear
view and outside mirrors.
●Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
●Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation.

To access the settings, press the SETTING but-
ton, then highlight “Volume and Beeps” using the
NISSAN controller and press the ENTER button.
You can also adjust the volume of an incoming
voice during a call by pushing the volume control
switch on the steering wheel or by turning the
volume control knob on the instrument panel.NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this ve-
hicle, such as phone and vehicle information.
There are two voice recognition modes of opera-
tion available. They are:
●Standard Mode
●Alternate Command Mode
In Standard Mode (the factory default setting) ,
commands that are available are always shown
on the display and announced by the system. You
can complete your desired operation by simply
following the prompts given by the system. In this
mode, hands-free operation of Audio Climate
Control and Display is not available through
NISSAN Voice Recognition.
For advanced operation, you can change to an
Alternate Command Mode that enables the op-
eration of the display, audio, and climate control
through NISSAN Voice Recognition. When this
mode is active, an expanded list of commands
can be spoken after pushing the TALK
switch on the steering wheel, and the voice com-
mand menu prompts are turned off.
In Alternate Command Mode the recognition
success rate may be affected because the num-
ber of available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased. See“NISSAN Voice Recognition Alternate Com-
mand Mode” later in this section.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in that
mode. See “Speaker Adaptation Function” later
in this section. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation sys-
tem, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.
For vehicles in the U.S., the factory default setting
is the Standard Mode. See “Standard Mode” in
this section. For vehicles in Canada, the factory
default setting is the Alternate Command Mode.
See “Alternate Command Mode” later in this sec-
tion.
NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION
STANDARD MODE
The Standard Mode enables control of naviga-
tion, phone and vehicle information. With this
setting active, commands that are available are
always shown on the display and announced by
the system.

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in 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
switch is pressed before the initializa-
tion completes, voice commands will not be ac-
cepted. Please wait until the NISSAN Voice Rec-
ognition initialization is completed.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance from
Voice Recognition, observe the following:
●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.
●Speak in a natural conversational voice with-
out pausing between words.
●If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
commands can be recognized more easily.
GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Press theswitch located on the
steering wheel.2. A list of commands appears on the screen,
and the system announces, “Would you like
to access Phone, Navigation, Information or
Help?”
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the
screen changes from
to, speak
a command.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts
and speak after the tone sounds until your
desired operation is completed.
