BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance from
NISSAN Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:. The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and
vibration sounds, etc.) , which may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing the
voice commands.
. 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 recognized more easily.

How to speak numbers

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.

.There may be cases that carpool lanes are
included on a suggested route when the
automatic rerouting function is activated,
even if the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
turned off.
“SETTING CONDITIONS FOR THE
ROUTE CALCULATION” (page 5-13)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green road,
the enlarged map display will switch to the
ordinary map screen at some point and
suggest a route that is near the destination.
The distance and direction to the endpoint
of the suggested route will be displayed in
the lower right corner of the screen. Also, at
this time, voice guidance will announce,
“The route to your destination includes
roads through incomplete map areas. Voice
guidance will not be provided in these
areas”.
When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will an-
nounce, “Entering the road with incomplete
map data. Please use the direction arrow
and distance information to proceed to your
destination.”
To reach your destination, refer to the map
screen. Always follow actual roads and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the short-
est, nor are other circumstances such as
traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in road
conditions and circumstances between the
time you use this system and the time the
information was produced for the map data,
there may be discrepancies in roads and
regulations. In such cases, follow the actual
information available.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
with the actual vehicle’s movement.
. During route calculation, buttons such as
