Adapting the System to Your Voice
Tutorial adapting the system to your voice.USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed
before the initialization completes the display
will show the message: “Phonetic data down-
loaded. Please wait.” or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance from INFINITI Voice
Recognition, 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.
● When the air conditioner is in the AUTO
mode, the fan speed decreases automati-
cally for easy recognition.

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. Phone numbers
Speak phone numbers according to the follow-
ing examples:
●
1-800-662-6200
– “Dial one eight zero zero six six two six two zero zero.”
Note 1: For the best voice recognition phone
dialing results, say phone numbers as single
digits.
Note 2: You cannot say 555-6000 as “five five
five six thousands”.
Note 3: 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)”.
Speaker adaptation function (for

tion performance. The system can memorize the

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions given in this guide for
the appropriate error.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.
Symptom/error messageSolution
Displays “COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED” or the
system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see “Command List” earlier in this section.
2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these
in place.
The system consistently selects the wrong voic-
etag in the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See “BLUETOOTH
HANDS-
FREE PHONE SYSTEM (models with navigation system)” earlier in this section; page 4-85.)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.
The system cannot be operated. 1. Make sure that the soft top is usable. If the soft top is not working, contact an INFINITI retailer. 2. Close the retractable hard top.
3. Open and close the retractable hard top before operating the system.

The sensitivity level of the corner/center sonar
can be adjusted (higher or lower) in the SONAR
setting display. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING
BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, climate, audio,
phone and voice recognition systems” section
for the “Sonar” settings.)
1Rear view monitor display
ACorner sonar indicator
BCenter sonar indicator
SONAR INDICATOR
With the “Sonar Display” key ON in the “Sonar”
settings, when the corner/center sonar detects
obstacles near the bumper, a tone will sound
and the sonar indicator will appear in the center
display. When the rear view monitor is dis-
played, the sonar indicator will appear in the
upper corner of the display
1.
The sonar indicators
AandBindicate the
position of the object and the distance to the
object with its color and rate of blinking. When an object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks (the tone sounds
intermittently). When the vehicle moves closer
to the object, the color of the indicator turns
yellow and the rate of blinking increases (the
rate of the tone increases). When the corner of
the vehicle is very close to the object, less than
11.8 in (30 cm) away, the indicator stops blink-
ing and turns red (the tone sounds continu-
ously).
When the rear view monitor is displayed, the
colors of the sonar indicator and the distance
guide lines in the rear view indicate different
distances to the object.
The sonar indicator can be turned off in the
SONAR setting display. (See “HOW TO USE
SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, climate,
audio, phone and voice recognition systems”
section for the “Sonar” settings.) When the
sonar indicator is off, only a tone sounds when
the sonar detects obstacles.
