The distance to empty, average fuel economy
and current fuel economy (shown on the right
side bar) will be displayed for reference.
To reset the Average Fuel Economy, use the
multi-function controller to highlight the “Reset”
key and push theENTERbutton.
If the “View” key is highlighted with the multi-
function controller and theENTERbutton is

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this
vehicle, such as phone and vehicle information
as a factory default setting (Standard Mode) .
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
operation 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, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Note that in this
mode the recognition success rate may be
affected as the number of available commands
and the ways of speaking each command are
increased. (See “NISSAN VOICE RECOGNI-
TION ALTERNATE COMMAND MODE” later in
this section for details about Alternate Com-
mand Mode.)
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 FUNC-
TION” later in this section.) Otherwise, it isrecommended that Alternate Command Mode
be turned off and Standard Mode be used for
the best recognition performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner’s
Manual of your vehicle.

NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this
vehicle, such as the display, audio, climate
control, phone and optional navigation systems.
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push
and release the TALK
switch located on the
steering wheel. Then speak the command for the
system you wish to activate. The command given
is picked up by the microphone, and it is
performed when it is properly recognized. At
this time NISSAN Voice Recognition will provide
a voice and message (in the center display) to
inform you of the command results.

Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which takes a few seconds. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed
before the initialization completes, a beep
sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance out of NISSAN
Voice Recognition, observe the following:
.Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-141
Black plate (340,1)
Model "Z51-D" EDITED: 2007/ 10/ 2
speed and be especially careful
when driving and cornering on slip-
pery surfaces and always drive care-
fully.
.Do not modify the vehicle’s suspen-
sion. If suspension parts such as
shock absorbers, struts, springs,
stabilizer bars and bushings and
wheels are not NISSAN approved
or are extremely deteriorated the
VDC system may not operate prop-
erly. This could adversely affect
vehicle handling performance, and
the “VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP”
indicator or both indicator lights
may illuminate.
.If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
standard equipment or are extre-
mely deteriorated, the “VDC OFF”
indicator or “SLIP” indicator or both
indicator lights may illuminate.
.If engine related parts such as
muffler are not standard equipment
or are extremely deteriorated, the
“VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP” in-
dicator or both indicator lights may
illuminate..When driving on extremely inclined
surfaces such as higher banked
corners, the VDC system may not
operate properly and the “VDC OFF”
indicator or “SLIP” indicator or both
indicator lights may illuminate. Do
not drive on these types of roads.
.When driving on unstable surfaces
such as a turntable, ferry, elevator
or ramp, the “VDC OFF” indicator or
“SLIP” indicator or both indicator
lights may illuminate. This is not a
malfunction. Restart the engine
after driving onto a stable surface.
.If wheels or tires other than those
recommended are used, the VDC
system may not operate properly
and “VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP”
indicator or both indicator lights
may illuminate.
.The VDC system is not a substitute
for winter tires or tire chains on a
snow covered road.FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
deicer through the key hole. If the lock becomes
frozen, heat the key before inserting it into the
key hole or use the remote keyless entry keyfob.
ANTI-FREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that the
outside temperature will drop below 328F(08C) ,
check the anti-freeze to assure proper winter
protection. For additional information, see “EN-
GINE COOLING SYSTEM” in the “8. Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section.
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the battery
fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To
maintain maximum efficiency, the battery should
be checked regularly. For additional information,
see “BATTERY” in the “8. Maintenance and do-
it-yourself” section.
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-
freeze, drain the cooling system, including the
engine block. Refill before operating the vehicle.
For details, see “ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM”
in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section.
