USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization

commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed before the initialization completes, the display

a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance from
INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
●
The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and
vibration 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.
