NISSAN Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the navigation system and other
systems equipped on this vehicle, in one of two
modes, Standard Mode or Alternate Command
Mode. Standard Mode allows the operation of
Navigation, Phone, Audio, Information and Help.
The commands that are available are always
shown on the display and announced by the
system. To perform operations, simply follow the
prompts given by the system. In Standard Mode,
hands-free operation of Change map view,
Route selection and Bluetooth Audio, etc. is not
available through Voice Recognition.
Alternate Command Mode allows advanced
operations. When this mode is active, an ex-
panded list of commands can be spoken after
pressing
, and the voice command menu
prompts are turned off. Note that in this mode
the recognition success rate may be affected
because the number of available commands and
ways of speaking each command are increased.
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alternate
Command Mode be turned OFF and Standard
Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
“ALTERNATE COMMAND MODE”
(page 9-16)
INFO:
● To improve recognition success when Alter-
nate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation function available in that
mode.
“SPEAKER ADAPTATION”
(page 9-28)
Otherwise, it is recommended that Alter-
nate Command Mode be turned OFF and
Standard Mode be used for the best recog-
nition performance.
● For the voice commands for the audio, phone
and other systems, refer to the vehicle Own-
er’s Manual. The following sections refer only
to the navigation, phone and information
systems.
MANUAL CONTROL
While using the voice recognition system for
certain Phone and Navigation features, you can
switch to using manual controls (touch screen,
steering wheel controls) and the information you
have already entered by voice control will be
retained. To switch to manual controls, touch the
“Manual Controls” key on the display when it
appears. The system will respond by speaking
“Changing to manual operation. Please use
manual controls to continue.”
CONFIRMING HOW TO USE VOICE

the first time or if help is preferred to use the
system, the User Guide can be displayed.
It is possible to confirm how to use voice com-
mands by accessing a simplified User Guide,
which contains basic instructions and tutorials

How to speak numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers when giving voice
commands. Refer to the following examples.
General rule:
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. For
example, if speaking 500, “five zero zero” can be
used, but “five hundred” cannot.

8. The system announces, “Dial or ChangeNumber?”. Speak “Dial”.
9. The system makes a call to 800-662-6200.
INFO:
● Speaking “800-662-6200” (10 continuous
digits) or “662-6200” (7 continuous digits) is
acceptable, if the area code is not necessary.
However the 3-3-4 digit grouping is recom-
mended for improved recognition.
”How to speak numbers”
(page 9-26)
● The NISSAN voice recognition system is not
limited to recognizing phone numbers of only
7 or 10 digits. To dial a number in a format
other than the 3-3-4 digit grouping, use the
“International Call” command. ●
If “Change Number” is spoken during phone
number entry, the system will automatically re-
quest that the number be repeated using the
3-3-4 format. In this case please say the area
code first and then follow the prompts.
● Do not add a “1” in front of the area code
when speaking phone numbers.
● If the system does not recognize a voice
command, please try repeating the command
using a natural voice. Speaking too slowly or
too loudly may further decrease recognition
performance.
Example 3: Placing an international call to
the phone number 011-81-111-222-3333 1. Press
located on the steering wheel
switch. 2. The system announces, “Would you like to
access Phone, Navigation, Information, Au-
dio or Help?”.
3. Speak “Phone”.

Examples:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero six six two six two zero
zero” Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:
Recognition of phone numbers can be improved
by saying the phone number in 3 groups of
numbers. For example, to call 800-662-6200,
say “Eight Zero Zero” first, and the system will
then ask to speak the next three digits. Then, say
“Six Six Two”. After recognition, the system will
then ask to speak the last 4 digits. Say, “Six Two
Zero Zero”. Using this method of phone digit en-
try can improve recognition performance.INFO:
For best recognition, speak “zero” for the num-
ber “0” and “oh” for the letter “o”.
