the surrounding noises (traffic noise and vi-
bration sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.

command.

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.

Voice recognition9-5

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”.

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?”.
