as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic 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 auto-
matically for easy recognition.

ing a command.

How to speak numbers:
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain 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 you would like to say 500,
“ five zero zero” can be used, but “five
hundred ”cannot. Phone numbers
Speak phone numbers according to the
following 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)” .
Send digits using dial tone:
. Press the TALK
switch during a
phone call.
. The menu will be launched and you will
be provided with the following gui-
dance: "Please say the digits to dial".
. After guidance, say the digits of the
number you want to send. After this, the digits that have been recognized
will be read out.

steering wheel or on the INFINITI con-
troller, the selected digits will be sent.
