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

mands by accessing a simplified User Guide,
