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.

1. Push located on the steering
switch.
2. A list of commands appears on the screen, and the system announces, “Please say a
command”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from [
]to[], speak a 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 you would like to say 500, “five zero
zero” can be used, but “five hundred” cannot.
Voice recognition9-21

Examples:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero six six two six two zero
zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:
You can improve the recognition of phone
numbers by saying the phone number in 3
groups of numbers. For example, when you try to
call 800-662-6200, say “Eight Zero Zero” first,
and the system will then ask you for the next
three digits. Then, say “Six Six Two”. After
recognition, the system will then ask for the last
4 digits. Say, “Six Two Zero Zero”. Using this
method of phone digit entry can improve
recognition performance.
INFO:
When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “O” is included
in the house number, it will not be recognized as
the number “0” even if you speak “oh” instead of
“zero”. You can only say zero for “0”.
