Using system
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, Voice Recognition System is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the
switch on the steering
wheel is pushed before the initialization com-
pletes, the system will not accept any com-
mand. Before starting
To get the best performance out of the Voice
Recognition System, observe the following:
●
Keep 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.
● Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command.
● Speak a voice command within 5 seconds
after the beep sound. If no voice command is
given, the system will ask you for a number.
If no further command is given, the session
ends.
● Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.

● Commands that are available are always
shown on the display and spoken through

● If the command is not recognized, the sys-
tem announces, “Please say again”. Repeat
the command in a clear voice.

● If you want to adjust the volume of the
system feedback, push the volume control
buttons [+] or [] on the steering switch or

system is making an announcement. How to speak numbers
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers when giving voice com-
mands. Refer to the following examples.
General rule
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. (For
example, if you would like to say 500, “five zero
zero” can be used, but “five hundred” cannot.)
Examples
●
1-800-662-6200
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two zero zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers
You can improve the recognition of phone num-
bers by saying the phone number in three
groups of numbers. For example, when you try
to call 800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero”
first, and the system will then ask you for the
next three digits. Then, say “six six two”. After
recognition, the system will then ask for the last
four digits. Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this
method of phone digit entry can improve recog-
nition performance. When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “o (Oh)” is
included in the house number, it will not be
recognized as the number “0 (zero)” even if you
speak “oh” instead of “zero”.
Please speak
“zero” for the number “0 (zero)”, “oh” for the
letter “o (oh)”

2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver wrappedwith a cloth into the slit of the corner and
twist it to separate the upper part from
the lower part.
3. Replace the battery with a new one.
Recommended battery: CR2032 or equiva-
lent.
● Do not touch the internal circuit and
electric terminals as it could cause a
malfunction.
● Hold the battery by the edges. Holding
the battery across the contact points will
seriously deplete the storage capacity.
● Make sure that the + side faces the
bottom of the case.
4. Align the tips of the upper and lower parts
