USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which may take up to one
minute. When completed, the system is
ready to accept voice commands. If the
TALK
switch is pushed before the
initialization completes, the display will
show the message: “System not ready.” or
a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance
from INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe
the following:
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noise and vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
correctly recognizing the voice com-
mands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words. .
If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”,
the fan speed is automatically lowered
so that your commands can be recog-
nized more easily.
