USING THE SYSTEM

the system is ready to accept voice commands. If
the
switch is pressed before the initializa-
tion completes the display will show the mes-
sage: “Phonetic data downloaded. Please wait.”
or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance from NISSAN Voice
Recognition, observe the following:
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 cor-
rectly.
cWhen the climate control is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.
cWait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
cSpeak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
